Anti-wrinkle Aftercare
Following your antiwrinkle treatment, you will feel slight tenderness and swelling at the injection sites. You may also notice some slight bruising to some sites. If you have had treatment to your upper face, you may experience a headache afterwards. This is all normal and should subside over the coming days.
Do not touch the treatment sites as this can increase the chances of infection and the product spreading to another muscle.

No face down massages for the next 72 hours.
No active skin care (retinoids / vitamin A / AHA’s) products for 24 hours after treatment.
The product takes 14 days for full effect and it is recommended to attend a review at this time to assess the treatment outcome.
