Taking care of you

here is your important aftercare information

The aftercare of your aesthetic treatment is very important to the outcome of your procedure today, please follow the advice given below and when in doubt we ask that you make contact with the clinic via our whats app number 0788729800 and attach a photo of your concern.

Massage the Area: Gentle massage of the treated area can help distribute the solution and expedite the fat dissolution process. Follow your practitioner's advice on this.

Drink plenty of water to help flush out the dissolved fat and to keep yourself generally well hydrated which will maximise the effects of lipolysis (destruction of fat cells).

Do not smoke, or drink caffeine or alcohol and avoid aspirin and ibuprofen based products for 48 hours post procedure.

Redness - Any redness should disappear over the following 6 to 24 hours period.

Swelling - do not expose the treated area to intense heat or to extreme cold for the following 48 hours following treatment. A clean cool pack can be applied directly to the treated area if there is any bruising or swelling. Non prescription paracetamol may be taken to reduce any localised tenderness so long as you are medically suitable to take them.

Bruising - Lemon Bottle injections can cause areas of bruising although this would not normally be expected to occur. Any such bruising will be temporary. If you are taking any medication or dietary supplements that can affect platelet function and bleeding time, the severity and period of bruising can be extended. Arnica cream and/or tablets can help to minimise and resolve bruising more quickly.

Make-up can be applied to cover bruising approximately 12 hours post treatment.

Tenderness or discomfort at the injection site site for 24 to 72 hours following treatment - non prescriptive paracetamol analgesia can be taken.

IT IS ADVISABLE TO:

Refrain from touching the treated area with your hands - this will reduce the chances of bringing bacteria to the area and causing infection at the injection site.

Make-up can be applied after 12 hours

Only use a gentle wash and tepid warm water to cleanse your treated area and gently pat dry after treatment. Do not rub, scrub, use toners or products containing retinols or acids for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment.

Do not use sunbeds or sunbathe for 2 weeks post treatment.

Avoid electrolysis, waxing and bleaching for 72 hours post procedure.

Do not swim in chlorinated water, use hot tubs or saunas for 2 weeks.

Try to keep your head above your heart and not bending over.

Do not have any other facial treatments for 2 weeks post treatment.

Do not exercise for 24 hours.

Please take it easy on the day of your treatment as you may feel tired, hungry, thirsty or emotional, so please take some time to relax and take care of yourself.

Air travel within 24 to 48 hours may cause more swelling than what you would otherwise have experienced and is advisable to avoid having your treatment the day before a flight.

Although rare, there are risks with any procedure and all of the above side effects are considered to be normal. What is not normal, is sudden onset of pain or pain that causes distress. Should you experience this sensation we advise you to contact the clinic immediately or seek medical assistance. We have a dedicated Whats app number 07887298008 that is manned 7 days a week. Please send a clear photo of your treated area or concern and a message explaining what symptoms you are experiencing and someone will contact you back as soon as possible.

If you experience pain that is very distressing after an injectable booster and it is during out of hours or making you feel extremely unwell you should visit your nearest walk in center for medical assistance.
