post-care instructions

Tox (Xeomin)

  • “Mosquito bite” bumps from the various injection points will fade and decrease in redness over the next few hours. This is due to the localized trauma from the injections

  • 4-6 hours: no laying flat on your back (napping/sleeping flat), no laying face down (massages, sleeping on your belly), no tight rimmed hats/headbands that apply pressure to the treated areas

  • 24 hours: no excessive exercise/sauna/hot tub, alcohol (to avoid the appearance of bruising)

  • Your final results will have kicked in and settled within a few days to 2 weeks

  • Some clients will need a touch up, but no sooner than 2 weeks

  • Please contact me with any questions/concerns at 847-893-0733

filler

  • Discomfort, swelling, bruising: to be expected the first 2-3 days, the greatest swelling the first 24 hours, then slowly tapering off. If bruising develops, it may take up to 1 week to resolve

    • Try sleeping with your head of bed elevated on a few pillows when sleeping at night to help decrease swelling. Swelling is always more prominent in the mornings upon waking up

    • You may try Tylenol/acetaminophen for any discomfort

    • Avoid Motrin, ibuprofen, aspirin, or aleve which can make you bruise more

    • For swelling, try gently icing the treated area (hover an ice pack a few centimeters above the skin) every few hours for 5 minutes at a time

  • Any lumps, bumps, unevenness will smooth out over the upcoming weeks

  • 24 hours:

    • NO makeup

    • NO alcohol (to avoid the appearance of bruising)

    • NO excessive exercise/sauna/hot tub

  • Results: in 3-4 weeks your filler results will have settled, and swelling and bruising will have resolved

  • Follow up: I typically. have my clients send me a photo of the treated area the first few days after a treatment to ensure things are healing appropriately

    • Natural lighting works best

    • Selfies work great, or you can ask someone to take your photo

    • REMEMBER to send me a photo 3-4 weeks after your initial treatment so we can discuss your results. My goal is to ensure you are satisfied and happy with your results!

  • EXCESSIVE PAIN/BRUISING

    • Please contact me with any EXCESSIVE PAIN OR BRUISING that develops at any time. Especially anything that develops in an area that was not injected

    • Your safety is my priority! 847-893-0733
