Aesthetics Aftercare

Botox Aftercare
You’ve just had Botox — congrats on choosing Wrinkle Free apoearence
Now let’s not ruin it.
DO:
•Stay upright for 4 hours (yes, that means no lying down, no naps, no sofa slouching)
- Gently move the treated muscles for the first hour (frown, raise brows, pull faces this is encouraged)
- Keep the area clean and makeup-free for 24 hours
DON’T:
•Touch, rub, massage or “just check it” ❌
•Exercise, sweat, sauna or hot baths for 24 hours
- Drink alcohol the same day (sorry babe)
- Have facials, massages or lie face-down for 48 hours
What’s normal:
•Tiny bumps, redness or light bruising totally normal, calm down
- Results start appearing 3–5 days, full effect at 10–14 days
Important bit:
Botox settles where it’s placed.
Rub it, press it, lie on it and you risk migration. We don’t want rogue brows.

Dermal Filler Aftercare
(Face & Lips – read it, follow it, look unreal)
You’ve just had dermal filler — gorgeous choice.
Now let’s not undo it.
DO:
•Keep treated areas clean & makeup-free for 24 hours
- Stay upright for 4–6 hours (no lying flat, no face-plant naps)
- Apply a cool compress if swelling appears (light pressure only)
- Drink plenty of water — hydrated skin = better results
DON’T:
• Touch, rub, massage or “check for lumps” ❌
- Exercise, sauna, steam rooms or hot baths for 48 hours
- Drink alcohol for 24–48 hours (yes, it really matters)
- Have facials, massages or dental work for 2 weeks
Lip filler babes – extra rules:
Expect swelling (especially days 1–3 — normal, not drama)
- Avoid excessive kissing, lip rubbing or over-movement
- Use a straw for the first 24 hours if needed
- Avoid very hot, spicy or salty foods initially
What’s normal:
Swelling, tenderness, tightness
- Bruising (sometimes delayed)
- Small lumps early on — usually settle as swelling reduces
Results timeline:
•Swelling peaks: 24–72 hours
- Settling phase: 7–14 days
- Final result: 2–3 weeks
Golden rule:
Filler needs time to settle into place.
If you poke it, squash it or lie on it — it may move.
We don’t chase filler.
Follow the aftercare and you’ll look soft, defined and expensive
Ignore it… and we’ll know.

Bio stimulator Aftercare – The Rule of 5
To help your treatment settle beautifully and reduce the risk of lumps or granulomas, it’s really important to follow the Rule of 5:
🖐 Massage for 5 minutes
⏰ 5 times per day
📆 For 5 days
Why it matters:
Biostimulators work by stimulating collagen, and massage helps evenly distribute the product while it integrates into the tissue properly. Skipping this step can increase the risk of unevenness or small nodules forming.
How to massage:
•Always use clean hands
- Apply gentle but firm pressure
- Massage in slow, circular motions over the treated area
- If advised, use a light moisturiser or aftercare balm
⚠️Avoid heavy pressure, aggressive rubbing, heat, or treatments to the area during the healing period.
Trust the process – massage is not optional, it’s essential.
Your future collagen will thank you
