You have taken an important step towards looking your best. To ensure optimal results, it is important to adhere to a few simple instructions.
- Note: No alcohol for 24 hours after treatment.
- No increased blood pressure (i.e. sauna, hot tub, exercise, cardio) 4 hours post treatment to help prevent bruising.
- If you are prone to easy bruising, Arnica dissolvable tablets or Alastin INhance Post-Injection cream, are recommended to use the next few days after your treatment as directed. (Arnica: supplementary homeopathic treatment for bruises)
- Avoid applying make-up for 1 hour after treatment to all the skin to breathe.
- Avoid excessive facial expressions and strenuous exercise for 4 hours after your treatment. (This helps the product to “settle” without disturbing the location where it was injected.)
- Do not rub or massage the area for 24 hours unless instructed to do so.
- Redness and swelling may last for 1-2 days. Although, some minor swelling may persist up to 4 weeks.
- There is a risk of bruising which is only temporary and can be covered with makeup
FOLLOW-UP
You may schedule an appointment in 3-4 weeks with Dr. Barnett for follow-up on your treatment. It is recommended to repeat this treatment yearly to maintain your results.
