• You must inform your treating Medical Professional about any medications or dietary supplements you are taking; some medications can adversely affect the way Botulinum Toxin or Dermal Fillers work and can increase your risk of bruising.
• You must refrain from taking any painkiller medication that contains Ibuprofen (this only relates to any medication that is “not prescribed by a Doctor”) this may contribute to bruising and is best avoided for 7 days pre-treatment.
• You must refrain from taking Alcohol, and Vitamin supplements including; St. Johns Wort, Fish oils, Garlic, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins A-E, these may all contribute to bruising and are best avoided for 7 days pre-treatment.
• It is important that you come with no makeup on the day of treatment, you must not reapply makeup for 24 hours post-treatment in order to reduce the risk of infection or irritation at the injection sites.

• Avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
• Refrain from placing any pressure on the treatment area for the first week post-treatment.
• Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds or extremes of heat or cold for 2 weeks post-treatment. These activities have been found to increase and prolong bruising and swelling.
• Swelling may worsen in the first 24 hours. Visible swelling should settle within the first week post-treatment. Cold packs can be helpful in reducing swelling. As a consequence of swelling and internal healing, the product may feel harder or lumpy and you may notice some asymmetry. The final result may be assessed 4 weeks post-treatment.
