Aftercare Instructions


Anti-wrinkle Injections:

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for a minimum of 4 hours post treatment.
  • Avoid lying down or leaning forward for a minimum of 4 hours post treatment.
  • Avoid exercise and sweating for the rest of the day after treatment.
  • Avoid any type of facial, micro-dermabrasion, or massage for 14 days after treatment.

The full effect of toxin can take up to 14 days to see the final results.

Typically, patients notice a change in 4-5 days. The frown lines will reduce over time as the muscles to lose strength and are not in use.

Please pre-book to come in at 2 weeks for a follow up assessment, especially after your first treatment, so we can see how your facial muscles are affected by the treatment.

This enables your Dr/RN to fine-tune your toxin requirements. There is no charge for the appointment unless you require additional toxin which will be charged per unit at the regular rate.

Your results will last last approximately 3-4 months. Research shows that if you have your treatment at regular internals, as advised by your injector, results may last longer.
