Anti Wrinkle Preparation & Aftercare FAQ
What should I do before my anti-wrinkle treatment?
What is the aftercare for anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a quick, no downtime procedure. For the optimal result, we suggest that you adhere to the following aftercare steps:
- Apply a wrapped ice pack gently for any discomfort
- Do not touch or apply pressure to the treated area for 4 hours
After anti-wrinkle treatment, you may notice slight redness and small bumps at the injection sites. This will resolve in about 15 minutes.
What will happen after my anti-wrinkle treatment?
After having anti-wrinkle injections, you may notice slight redness and small bumps at the injection sites. These will go away in 15 minutes.
In 3-4 days time, the result will start to take effect. You’ll see your wrinkles becoming smoother each day.
The final result is seen 14 days after your treatment.
When can I wear makeup after anti-wrinkle?
Avoid applying makeup until the day after your anti-wrinkle injections. This allows time for the injection sites to heal over.
When can I wash my face after anti-wrinkle?
You can wash your face immediately after having anti-wrinkle injections. When washing your face be gentle, avoiding any pressure to the injected sites. Pressing on the injected areas can disperse the product, and must be avoided.
What is the downtime for anti-wrinkle?
Anti-wrinkle injections are a walk-in walk-out procedure with no downtime. Treatment takes 5-10 minutes, and you can return to almost all normal activity immediately after your appointment.
Can I lie down after anti-wrinkle injections?
Yes you can lie down after anti-wrinkle injections. Just make sure to avoid any firm pressure being applied to the treated areas.
When can I sleep after anti-wrinkle injections?
You can sleep immediately after your anti-wrinkle injections.
There is no reliable evidence to show that going to sleep after anti-wrinkle injections will affect your result or increase side effects.
If you are going to sleep after anti-wrinkle injections, you should avoid applying any firm pressure to the treated areas.
When can I exercise after anti-wrinkle injections?

Why can't you drink alcohol after anti-wrinkle injections?

Can I drink coffee before anti-wrinkle injections?

How can I reduce the chance of a bruise after anti-wrinkle treatment?
To reduce bruising after anti-wrinkle injections, avoid alcohol and intense exercise before and after your treatment.
You can also gently apply a wrapped cold pack to the injected area.
Another way to reduce bruising is to have anti-wrinkle injections at an experienced doctor-led cosmetic clinic. Experienced injectors are more likely to take more care to avoid blood vessels during your treatment.
Can I put makeup on one day after anti-wrinkle treatment?
Yes, you are able to apply makeup 4 hours after having anti-wrinkle injections.
Can I go in the sun after anti-wrinkle injections?
