1. TIMING
Avoid all bodies of water for at least 2 weeks — this includes beaches, saunas, hot tubs, and pools. Be careful when showering.
Use a gentle cleanser such as Johnson’s Baby Wash on any sensitive skin after the procedure.
2. POSITION
For the first 2 weeks after treatment, sleep on your back with your head elevated by two pillows.
Do NOT rub, massage, or apply pressure to the treated areas unless your injector tells you otherwise.
A neck roll will be provided after your procedure — please sleep with the neck roll for the week after your procedure.
3. EXERCISE
Do NOT perform any strenuous activity for 1 week. You can resume normal activity after your practitioner clears you at your one-week follow-up.
Avoid facials for 2 weeks after your treatment. You may continue other daily activities as normal.
4. SWELLING/BRUISING
Small bumps or needle marks typically go away within a few hours after the procedure. Any dimpling is temporary and should last about a week.
