Aftercare
When receiving wrinkle-minimising injections, the correct aftercare is crucial to ensuring optimal healing and maximising your desired outcome. Here's a guide from Beauty By Doctor in Bondi Junction to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
Be gentle with the Treated Area: Use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser recommended by BBD. Avoid harsh scrubbing or rubbing the treated area. Pat dry with a soft and clean towel. Creams and makeup can be gently patted over the areas. Makeup over the top is fine.
Don't Massage or Rub: Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area for the first week after treatment or until the product has kicked in. This can disrupt the placement of the injectable. Avoid any facial treatments that could lead to swelling for a week post treatment (E.g. vascular laser to the treated areas, ablative lasers, or facials where a lot of massage/manipulation is involved).
Exercise, alcohol and lying down to sleep after treatment is considered fine by us at BBD. There is no clinical evidence these interfere with aesthetic outcome.
Recovery Timeline:
The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments gradually take effect. Here's a general timeframe for some common aftercare expectations:
First Day: You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites. This typically subsides within 20 minutes to a couple of hours.
Week 1: The full effects of the treatment start to become noticeable.
Weeks 2-4: The results continue to improve as the injectable relaxes the muscles.
Months 3-6: Enjoy the wrinkle-smoothing and youthful effects of your treatment. The duration of results varies depending on the product used and individual factors.
Additional Tips for a Smooth Recovery:
Makeup Application: You can usually apply makeup after the injections and in the event of associated minor bruising. Just be gentle and avoid applying excessive pressure on the treated area.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps your body flush out toxins and promotes healing.
Schedule Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with BBD's team so they can assess your results and address any concerns you may have. If the pattern or dose requires an adjustment, we usually recommend waiting a full 2 weeks. You are always welcome to have a follow-up or get in touch with us if there is an issue.
