Pre-care

-It is crucial that you do not consume alcohol at least 24 hours before undergoing the FillMed Skin Booster injections, as alcohol can thin the blood and increase the possibility of bruising.

​

-Don’t use any aggressive products or have any aggressive procedures (for example AHA’s, strong retinol, acid peels, laser) in the area for a few days before.

​

-If you’ve had your covid vaccine, you must wait for 4 weeks before having this treatment.

​

-You should also avoid medications like Blood Thinners, Aspirin, Anti Inflammatories, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for at least 1 week prior to your treatment.

​

-Avoid other facial treatments at least 1 week prior to your treatment.

​

-Avoid extensive sun exposure / the use of tanning beds at least 3 days prior to your treatment.
(We obviously advise that you stop using tanning beds altogether because they increase your risk of skin cancer and accelerate visible signs of aging).

​

-Likewise, avoid Hair Removal (to the area you are receiving Botox) at least 1 week prior to your treatment.
(Whether that be Waxing, Laser or Cream – Shaving is okay if done gently ensuring no nicks).

​

-In addition, please make sure you are not wearing makeup on the day of your treatment.


Helpful tips to prevent bruising at the injection point:

-As mentioned above avoid medications like Blood Thinners, Aspiriin or Anti Inflammatories for 1 week prior to your treatment.

Take Arnica tablets for 1 week prior to your treatment

​

-Up your Iron, B12 & Vitamin C intake if you are prone to bruising.

After-care

What To Expect:

After your treatment you may leave clinic with lots of small bumps (papules) where the product has been injected. These small bumps gradually disperse and can last anywhere from 1 - 24 hours for NCTF and up to 48 hrs for MHA10.

​

Bruising is minimal, if at all and usually shows immediately and may last for 3-5 days.

There can also be some mild swelling and tenderness. This is all completely normal and generally reduces within a few days to a week. No recovery time is required, and you can return to your daily activities immediately. 

 

Aftercare:

-If you wish to massage the injection points to encourage breakdown of the small bumps, please do so gently to avoid bruising. Ensure your hands are clean and sanitised before touching your face. 

​

-Do not wash your face or apply any skincare products until the following day

​

-Do not apply makeup on the area for 24 hours.
  Once 24 hours has passed and you wish to wear makeup, please ensure your brushes are clean and sanitised

-Avoid exercise / sweating for 24 hours

​

-Avoid swimming, sauna’s and spa environments for 48 hours

​

-Sleep on a clean pillowcase at night.

​

-Golden Rule: Make sure that you are also avoiding direct sun exposure. Especially tanning beds.
(Preferably forever! But if you must, please wait 7 days)

​

-Drink LOTS of water!

Consent

It is important to know bruising at the injection point can happen.
It is rare that you will bruise at each and every injection point but it is important to know It can happen. This doesn't mean anything has gone wrong or it has been administered incorrectly, it just means the end of the needle has nicked a blood vessel just below the surface - lower than the eye can see, which has caused the blood to come up to the surface and form a small bruise.

DO:
-Apply a cold compress to the bruise, but be sure to not press down hard
-Apply Arnica Gel
-Be Patient, the bruise will go

DON'T
-Massage the area, this will cause the bruise to spread
