Before Treatment: 

Avoid aspirin, Nurofen and anti-inflammatories or blood-thinning medications for one week before your treatment as these can increase your chances of bruising on the day of treatment. 

Avoid fish oil supplements, garlic, ginger and evening primrose tablets, St John’s Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, and multivitamins containing Vitamin E or Vitamin E Tablets for one week before treatment. These supplements have been shown to increase your chances of bruising.

Avoid alcohol for 48 hours the day before and after your treatment and stay well hydrated to help minimise bruising. 

Do not schedule any microdermabrasion/skin needling/tattoo or permanent make-up/ablative laser treatments two weeks before dermal filler.

All dermal enhancements should be scheduled at least two weeks after any dental work or surgery.

If you have a special event coming up, you may want to schedule your treatment two weeks in advance.

Post Treatment: 

Following your treatment, please observe the following guidelines to minimise any side effects, and you get the most out of your treatment. 

Avoid wearing make-up for a minimum of 4 hours following treatment.

Redness, swelling and bruising are all normal. The majority of this will subside within 48 hours; however, do not be alarmed if mild swelling continues a little longer than this, with complete resolution generally occurring by two weeks post-treatment. You can apply ice to the area to help reduce this. 

Arnica supplements and Pineapple have been shown to help reduce the longevity of bruising.

Reduce your risk of bruising by staying away from alcohol or vigorous exercise for the following 24 hours.

Avoid any active ingredients in your skincare regime for the first 24 hours following treatment.

Refrain from massaging the treated areas as this can break down the dermal filler particles. Simple analgesia (Panadol) can be used to minimise discomfort. 

Do not expose the treated areas to extreme heat or cold until complete resolution of swelling. 

As discussed in your consultation, you may require more than one treatment session for optimal results.

If you have any concerns about your treatment results or side effects, please utilise the Emergency Contact information given to you at the end of your consultation. Our team are on call for 24 hours following any dermal filler enhancements. As a result, you may experience some discomfort and tenderness.

Before Treatment:

Please avoid skin needling/laser treatments within two weeks of your treatment. 

Post Treatment: 

Avoid wearing make-up for a minimum of 4 hours following treatment.

Please do not put pressure on/rub or massage the treated areas as this can disperse the toxin into surrounding muscles. Observe this precaution for 24 hours post-treatment.

Do not expose the treated areas to extreme heat or cold for the following 24 hours.

Avoid any active ingredients in your skincare regime for the first 24 hours following treatment.

Treatments can take four days to start working, with full effects seen at two weeks post-treatment. If you are concerned about your treatment results, please get in touch with the clinic at the two-week point so that we can address any concerns and support you. 

Pre Treatment: 

Please avoid having any cosmetic treatments in the area two weeks before treatment. 

Please stay well hydrated before your treatment.

Post Treatment:

The downtime for this treatment is significantly more than our other of our cosmetic treatments. You will need to expect some discomfort after your Fat Dissolving treatment. This discomfort is at its peak for the first 24-48 hours post-treatment. The cellular process which occurs in fat dissolving treatments does elicit a significant inflammatory response. You will notice the beginning of this response immediately after we have completed your treatment. The swelling will be more prominent for the first four days post-treatment. You may experience mild redness, bruising, nodules and a tingling/itchy/numb sensation to the skin. The presence of these symptoms is all signs of the treatment working. Rest assured, these symptoms will settle down in the weeks to come. Once the initial swelling has reduced, you may feel firm lumps within your tissues. Your body will take a few weeks to absorb and excrete these.

To combat any discomfort during the inflammatory stage of your treatment, we recommend ice and simple analgesia such as paracetamol. In addition, we recommend avoiding anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and steroids as this may affect the inflammatory response of the treatment.

The total effect of your fat-dissolving treatment will be apparent in 4 months. Any further treatments will be organised ten weeks after your initial procedure was performed.

Prior to Treatment:

Increase your water intake 24 hours prior to your PRP. Being well hydrated assists in obtaining enough blood for the treatment. 

Please arrive make up free for any facial treatments.

Please ensure you have washed your hair with no leave-in treatments for any alopecia treatments. 

Post Treatment: 

There are minimal restrictions after your PRP treatment which means you can return to your daily activities almost immediately! 

It is normal to experience swelling, bruising, redness, and some itching after PRP treatments. This swelling can last up to 3-10 days following your procedure. If you experience any pain or discomfort, you can take paracetamol. 

For the next 24 hours, it is essential to avoid any skincare with active ingredients (such as Vitamin A/C), which may irritate the area. In addition, avoid vigorous exercise, sun and heat exposure (especially post-micro-needling), and increase your water intake to have at least 1.5L a day (more is always better!)

If you are receiving PRP for alopecia, please avoid wearing head coverings for at least two days until swelling is reduced. Refrain from shampoo/conditioning agents for the first 24 hours. Avoid salon treatments for two weeks until fully healed.

Prior to Treatment:

No cosmetic or laser skin treatments can occur 2 weeks before your skin needling treatment. This is due to the skins inflammatory response that will be illicited with treatment.

Post Treatment:

Immediately after treatment, your skin will be pink and glowing. This will subside over the next day. We recommend staying out of direct sunlight and avoiding any active ingredients in your skincare for the next 24 hours. This is due to the increased thermal sensitivity of the treated area. You should also avoid any anti-wrinkle, dermal filler or microdermabrasion treatments for two weeks post-treatment. Skin needling can be performed every eight weeks, allowing the maturation of new collagen and elastin cells to occur.

Prior to Treatment:

Avoid aspirin, nurofen and anti-inflammatories or blood-thinning medications for one week before your treatment as these can increase your chances of bruising on the day of treatment. 

Avoid fish oil supplements, garlic, ginger and evening primrose tablets, St John’s Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, and multivitamins containing Vitamin E or Vitamin E Tablets for one week before treatment. These supplements have been shown to increase your chances of bruising.

Avoid alcohol for 48 hours the day before and after your treatment and stay well hydrated to help minimise bruising. 

Do not schedule any microdermabrasion/skin needling/tattoo or permanent make-up/ablative laser treatments two weeks before your thread lift.

Any thread lift treatment should be scheduled at least two weeks after any dental work or surgery.

If you have a special event coming up, you may want to schedule your treatment a month in advance to allow for reduction in swelling and bruising.

Post Treatment: 

Downtime after a thread lift is different for everyone and will depend on how many threads are placed into the skin. It is not uncommon to bruise post the procedure. This is often seen at the entry points where the threads are introduced into the dermal layer. You can apply ice to the skin in intervals to assist the swelling response.

Your clinician will provide you with a face-covering that will help to minimise facial movements for the subsequent few days post-treatment. However, this is not a requirement to wear post-procedure, with most clients opting to wear this at night.

It is advised to refrain from any high-intensity exercise or running for two weeks post-treatment. Hence, your body has time to ‘anchor’ the threads into place during the initial inflammatory response. Light walking is okay.

Follow up appointments can be made from one-month post-procedure when the threads have settled into your skin.

Before Treatment: 

Please brush your teeth if possible before your Teeth Whitening session.

Avoid having heavily coloured food (soda/curry) before your treatment

Post Treatment: 

Avoid heavily stained foods for the following 24 hours after your treatment. 

If your teeth were stained from tetracycline or fluoride, you may require a subsequent appointment to achieve the results you were wanting at two-weeks.

Some clients will note that part of their gums may whiten during the treatment. This is perfectly okay and WILL go away within a couple of hours.

Your teeth may be sensitive to hot/cold foods after treatment. Using toothpaste such as Sensodyne will help to minimise any discomfort.

Results will depend entirely on each individual. However, periodic touch-up treatments can be completed to maintain your results.
