Wrinkle Relaxers Aftercare

For Best results

REDNESS, SWELLING & TENDERNESS IS NORMAL AND WILL SUBSIDE.

BE PATIENT AS IT CAN TAKE UP TO 10 – 14 DAYS TO SEE THE FULL EFFECTS OF YOUR WRINKLE RELAXER TREATMENT.

DO:

• Remain upright for 4 hours.

• Delay any facials or dermal treatments for 2 weeks.

• Avoid blood thinners, including alcohol, for 48 hrs. They will increase bruising.

• Attend a review appointment in 2 weeks particularly if it is your first treatment.

DON’T:

• Exercise for 12 hours. Avoid inverted poses (eg Yoga, Pilates) while the wrinkle relaxer is settling into place.

• Expose your skin to excessive heat or cold. Changes in temperature may make you rub your face, causing unwanted pressure on the treated muscles and risk spread of the protein into unwanted areas.

• Massage or apply pressure to the face. Be gentle when applying skin care.

Hyperhidrosis/Excessive sweating

• You may wish to cool the treated area with an ice pack to minimise swelling and discomfort.

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

• Do not apply deodorants for 12 hours.

• To assist with any bruising you may wish to apply a topical treatment such as arnica or hirudoid cream.

• Avoid laser, IPL or electrolysis treatments for two weeks after treatment.

Your next appointment

You will be requested to return to the clinic 2 weeks following your treatment.

This is an important part of the treatment process to ensure that your treatment is complication free and that you are satisfied with the treatment outcome.
