What to do after a medical spa appointment?
Considerations for after your aesthetics appointment
At the end of your visit with Inspired Aesthetics Medical Spa, we will provide you with aftercare instructions. Some of those instructions may include:
Try to exercise your treated muscles for the first hour after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raising your eyebrows or squinting). This helps to work the treatment into your muscles. Although this may help your procedure outcome, it will NOT impact your treatment negatively if you forget to do this.
Do NOT have a facial, rub or massage the treated area for 24 hours after your treatment.
Do NOT lie down or do strenuous exercise for 4 hours after treatment.
Avoid any exposure to a sauna, hot tub or tanning for 4 hours after your appointment. This will prevent your blood pressure from rising and thus minimize the risk of bruising after treatment.
Please be aware that some, though very few patients, experience a mild headache. You may take Tylenol to help with this for pain relief.
If you experience tiny bumps or marks after your appointment, they will go away within a few hours after your treatment.
If you experience bruising, rest assured that it will go away. Temporary bruising can last up to one week. It is safe to cover bruising with makeup, if you wish.
After the wrinkle relaxer is placed into the targeted muscles, the weakening effect gradually begins anywhere from 3-7 days and is not complete for two weeks. Therefore, optimal results are not seen for at least two weeks.
After filler is injected, you may be bruised, red or feel some swelling. We will apply Arnicare Bruise Cream to the area treated to help reduce bruising. Possible bruising and swelling will all go down in time, and you will feel the full effect of filler in about two weeks.
