Aftercare guide

A little care after a treatment goes a long way. The notes below are general guidance — your clinician will give you specific aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure.

01 General — first 24 hours

02 Anti-Wrinkle, Muscle Reduction & Skin Botox

• Stay upright and avoid lying flat for 4 hours after treatment.
• Do not rub, massage or apply pressure to the treated muscles for 24 hours.
• Avoid intense exercise, hot yoga, saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours.
• Light expression movements (smiling, frowning) in the first few hours can help the product settle.
• The effect develops gradually over 3–14 days — judge your result at the 2-week review.

03 Hyperhidrosis treatment

• Keep the treated area clean and dry for 24 hours.
• Avoid antiperspirants, deodorants, or hair removal on the treated area for 24 hours.
• Expect sweat reduction to begin within 3–7 days and reach full effect at 2 weeks.
• Effect typically lasts 4–6 months; we will plan your next session at your review.

04 Dermal Filler

• Some swelling and tenderness is normal for 24–72 hours. Lip filler often peaks at day 2.
• Use a cool compress in short intervals for the first day.
• Avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise, saunas and dental work for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid pressing or sleeping on the treated side for the first night.
• Do not have any energy-based facial treatment (laser, RF, ultrasound) for 2 weeks.
• If you notice severe pain, blanching, or skin colour change — contact us immediately.

05 Sculptra® · Collagen biostimulator

• Massage the treated area firmly for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (the "5-5-5 rule"). This helps even product distribution.
• Avoid intense exercise, saunas and steam for 24 hours.
• Mild redness or small bumps may appear briefly — these typically settle on their own.
• Sculptra works gradually over weeks. You will need 2–3 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, for full effect.

06 Skin Boosters

• Tiny raised bumps at injection points are normal and usually settle within 12–24 hours.
• Avoid make-up directly on the treated area for 12 hours.
• Hydrate well and apply a gentle moisturiser.
• A short course (typically 2–3 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart) gives the best result.

07 Belkyra® · Double-chin reduction

• Swelling can be significant in the first 1–2 days and may persist for up to a week — this is part of the treatment working.
• Sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first 2 nights.
• Avoid intense exercise, alcohol and saunas for 48 hours.
• Use a cool compress in short intervals to help comfort.
• Most patients need 2–4 sessions, spaced 6 weeks apart.

08 Aqualyx · Face fat-dissolving

• Swelling and tenderness for 3–5 days is expected; firmness in the treated area can last several weeks.
• Apply a cool compress in short intervals on the first day.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and hot environments for 48 hours.
• Wear a supportive compression garment if your clinician advises.
• Course typically 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

09 Alidya · Body cellulite

• Mild bruising and tenderness in the treated area is normal for a few days.
• Drink plenty of water — it supports the body in clearing the treatment.
• Light walking is encouraged; avoid intense exercise for 24 hours.
• Body brushing and gentle massage of the treated area (from day 2) can help texture.
• Full course is usually 7 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart.

10 IV Therapy · Link Medspa

• Eat a light meal before your drip and stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
• A small bruise at the cannula site is normal — keep a plaster on for an hour.
• You can return to normal activity straight after the drip. Avoid heavy alcohol on the day.
• If you have a course of drips, your clinician will recommend an interval suited to your goal.
