Dos and Don’ts
When it comes to toxin and filler administration, let's dispel some myths. Trust in these guidelines to optimise your results and experience.
Don’t
Don’t worry about lying flat or restricting muscle movement after the injection.
Within 30 minutes, the toxin is in the right place, allowing you to move and position yourself freely.
Don’t reapply makeup straight away after any injectable treatment
To ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of infection, we recommend refraining from reapplying makeup for at least 4 hours.
Clean your makeup brushes before use for optimal hygiene.
Don’t exercise too vigorously
You can engage in exercise after injectable treatments, but avoid intense sessions for 48 hours. Rapidly increasing exercise i.e. during marathon training has been known to reduce the duration of effect of toxin.
Don’t massage the area after filler or toxin treatments
No need to massage the area; it's normal to feel the filler initially. Over time, it integrates with the surrounding tissue, becoming less noticeable. In lip treatments, moisturising is vital during the healing process to prevent dryness and cracking as swelling subsides.
Do
Do lay off the booze
We’d recommend limiting alcohol consumption for 48 hours after treatment and for 24hours before. If you drink a lot of alcohol there is an increased risk of any bruising you sustain being more significant.
Do avoid sunbeds, saunas, and steam rooms for 48hours
Remember, sunbed use will affect the longevity of filler treatments, and in reality other health risks should mean their use is limited to medical indications only.
Most facial treatments are compatible with toxin, except for electrical stimulation facials, which counteract its effects. Microdermabrasion, skincare treatments, and hydrafacials can be resumed after 48 hours.
Avoid ultrasound-based treatments on filled areas for two weeks.
Do protect yourself with SPF
Lastly, protect your filler and toxin by wearing SPF, as it prolongs its lifespan by shielding it from UV degradation.
