General Guidelines for All Treatments
1. Avoid Touching Treated Areas:
• Refrain from touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to treated areas for at least 6 hours post-procedure.
2. Hydration:
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support healing.
3. Sun Protection:
• Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and hot environments (e.g., saunas, steam rooms) for 48 hours.
• Use SPF 30+ sunscreen on treated areas as advised.
Treatment-Specific Instructions
Botox/Dysport/Jeuveau
• Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area as it may displace the product into neighboring muscles.
• Stay upright and avoid lying down for 4 hours post-treatment.
• Refrain from exercise or strenuous activity for 24 hours.
• Touch-Up Guidance:
• If you feel your results are not optimal, please let us know after one week. Touch-ups, if necessary, should ideally be scheduled around the two-week mark.
• Waiting longer (a month or more) may affect the effectiveness of the touch-up due to the natural breakdown of the product. We are here to ensure your satisfaction.
