Key Aftercare Tips (First 24-48 Hours):
-
Swelling Reduction: Apply a cool compress (not ice directly) to the area for 10-20 minutes, every 2 hours.
-
Avoid Heat: Avoid hot showers, saunas, spas, and swimming pools for at least 48 hours.
-
No Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.
-
Avoid Pressure: Do not massage or put unnecessary pressure on the treated area.
-
Skin Care: Avoid active skincare products (AHA/BHA/Retinol) for 3-5 days, though a gentle cleanser and recovery balm can be used.
-
Medication: Avoid blood-thinning painkillers like Ibuprofen or Aspirin; use Paracetamol for discomfort.
What to expect
Within the 1st hour of treatment
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, tenderness, itching, and/or bruising around the treated area. Please avoid scratching and massaging.
The area may still feel numb due to numbing agent, avoid eating anything too hot or spicy
Within the first 24hrs of treatment
Swelling & Bruising: Minor to moderate swelling is expected, particularly with fillers in delicate areas like the lips or under-eyes.
Tenderness/Firmness: The treated area may feel tender or tender to the touch, and you might feel minor lumps or firmness as the filler settles.
Headache: A headache may occur, particularly after neurotoxin injections, which can be safely managed with recommended over-the-counter medication.
Initial Asymmetry: Do not panic if the area looks slightly uneven, as swelling does not always occur uniformly.
