To ensure your line-refinement treatment settles perfectly and gives you that calm, confident look we’re aiming for, please follow these simple steps for the next few hours:

The Golden Rules for Today:

• Keep Upright: Please stay upright for the next 4 hours—no lying down or bending over forward.

• Hands Off: Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the product from moving.

For the Next 24–48 Hours:

• Skip the Gym: Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms.

• The Finishing Touch: Please avoid traditional makeup or heavy skincare "actives" until tomorrow.

• Alcohol: Try to avoid alcohol for 24 hours to minimise any potential bruising at the injection sites.

See you in two weeks for your Reveal!

Your results look beautiful, and I’m so excited for you to see the final look once everything has settled.

Dermal fillers are a journey, and the first few days are all about letting the product integrate with your tissues. Please follow these guidelines for the best results:

The First 24–48 Hours:

• Hands Off: Avoid touching, poking, or firm massaging of the treated area unless I have specifically instructed you to do so.

• Keep it Cool: Avoid intense heat (saunas, sunbeds, hot tubs) and vigorous exercise, as these can increase swelling.

• Sleeping: If we treated your face, try to sleep on your back with an extra pillow to keep your head elevated tonight.

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to minimize the risk of bruising.

The "Finishing Touch":

• Makeup: Please avoid applying traditional lipstick or heavy foundation directly over injection sites for the rest of the day.

What to Expect:

• Swelling & Bruising: This is completely normal! Swelling is usually at its peak the morning after treatment.

• The 2-Week Rule: It takes a full 14 days for the filler to fully integrate and for all swelling to subside. Please wait until the 2-week mark to see your "true" final result.

If you experience any unusual pain, skin mottling (a lacy/dusky pattern), or extreme coolness in the area, please contact me immediately.

I can't wait to see your enhanced look!

It was a pleasure seeing you today! Your skin has worked hard during your [Microneedling/Peel] session, and now it’s time to let it repair and glow.

Because we have intentionally stimulated the skin’s surface, your barrier is extra sensitive right now. Please follow these guidelines for the next 5–7 days:

The First 48 Hours:

• Hands Off: Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area—even if it feels tight or itchy.

• Keep it Clean: Use only lukewarm water and a very gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.

• Cool & Calm: Skip the gym, saunas, hot showers, and swimming pools.

Essential Long-Term Care:

• Sun Shield: Your skin is now highly sensitive to UV. Continue using mineral-grade SPF every single morning—even if you're staying indoors.

• No "Actives": Please pause all Retinols, Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) for at least 7 days, or until all redness has completely subsided.

• Hydration is Key: Use a bland, hydrating moisturizer to support your skin barrier as it heals.

What to Expect:

You may experience some "sunburn" redness, tightness, or mild flaking over the next few days. This is a sign that your skin is renewing itself! Please let any flaking skin shed naturally to avoid any risk of scarring.

I can’t wait to see your results at our next session!

Your skin is now on its way to a deeper level of hydration and regeneration.

To ensure the [Skin Booster/Polynucleotide] product integrates perfectly and gives you that effortless glow, please follow these guidelines:

The First 24–48 Hours:

• Hands Off: Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area to allow the product to settle naturally.

Hygiene & Washing

• Initial Window: Avoid washing or showering for at least 8 hours post-treatment.

• Baths: No hot baths for 48 hours. After that, limit baths to 15 minutes for the first week to help manage any bruising.

Swelling & Sensation

• Icing: Apply ice immediately and as needed for the first 24–48 hours to manage swelling.

• Timeline of Sensations: It's helpful to note that redness or stinging can occur within 15 minutes to 2 hours, while swelling and bruising typically peak between 6–72 hours.

• Keep it Cool: Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours.

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to help minimize any potential bruising.

The Finishing Touch:

• Makeup-Free: Please avoid applying traditional makeup for the rest of the day to keep the injection sites clean.

• Internal Hydration: Drink plenty of water! These treatments love a hydrated environment to maximize that "plump" effect from within.

What to Expect:

While you might see a "glow" quickly, remember that polynucleotides and boosters work at a cellular level. Your best results will continue to build over the coming weeks.

If you have any questions as your skin settles, please don't hesitate to reach out.

If you notice extreme redness, heat, swelling, or pain at the injection site seek immediate medical attention.

Thank you for choosing Sculptra® treatment.

Sculptra® works differently from traditional dermal fillers. It stimulates your body's natural collagen production, meaning results develop gradually over the weeks and months following treatment. It is normal for the treated areas to appear fuller immediately after treatment due to the sterile water used during preparation and the body's initial response. This temporary fullness will reduce over the following days and does not represent your final result.

What to Expect

Following treatment, it is common to experience:

• Mild swelling

• Redness

• Tenderness

• Bruising

• Mild itching

• Temporary discomfort at the injection sites

These effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days.

The 5-5-5 Massage Protocol

To help promote even product distribution within the tissues, massage the treated areas:

5 minutes

5 times per day

For 5 days

Please follow any additional massage instructions provided by your practitioner, as treatment areas and protocols may vary between patients.

For the First 24–48 Hours

Please avoid:

• Strenuous exercise

• Excessive heat exposure

• Saunas and steam rooms

• Sunbeds

• Excessive alcohol consumption

• Facial treatments

• Unnecessary pressure to treated areas

You may continue with gentle skincare and normal daily activities unless advised otherwise.

Bruising and Swelling

If required:

• Apply a cool compress intermittently

• Sleep slightly elevated on the first night

• Stay well hydrated

Bruising and swelling vary between individuals and may occasionally persist for several days.

Treatment Results

Sculptra® does not provide immediate final results.

Collagen stimulation occurs gradually, and improvements typically become noticeable over the following weeks and months. Multiple treatment sessions may be required depending on your treatment plan and individual response.

Please attend any review appointments recommended by your practitioner.

When to Contact the Clinic

Please contact the clinic immediately if you experience:

• Increasing pain

• Significant swelling

• Signs of infection

• Skin colour changes

• Blistering

• Visual disturbance

• Any symptoms that concern you

Although serious complications are uncommon, prompt assessment is important.

Important Reminder

Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator designed to provide gradual tissue support and rejuvenation. The best outcomes are achieved through a combination of appropriate treatment planning, adherence to aftercare advice and attendance at follow-up appointments.

If you have any questions or concerns following your treatment, please contact the clinic for advice.

• Step 1: Recovery. We apply Teoxane RHA Serum and Deep Repair Balm to instantly soothe and hydrate your skin at a cellular level.

• Step 2: Protection. We finish with Mineral SPF. This provides essential medical-grade protection and a polished finish, replacing the need for traditional makeup.

• Maintenance: To ensure you get the best results possible, we recommend continuing this protocol at home. Available to purchase in-clinic & the SkinCare Shop.

Restoring your natural balance.

Following your elective dissolving treatment, your skin and tissues need a little grace as they settle. Because we prioritize your long-term skin health, we have designed this protocol to ensure you feel comfortable and empowered throughout your recovery.

The First 24–48 Hours

Keep it Clean: Avoid applying makeup, skincare products (other than what we have recommended), or active serums to the area for at least 24 hours. Let the skin breathe.

Gentle Movement: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or hot baths. We want to keep your circulation calm while the enzyme settles.

Minimize Touch: It is natural to feel curious about the area, but please avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated site.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water. Hyaluronidase works by breaking down hyaluronic acid; keeping your body hydrated supports the natural lymphatic processes that follow.

What to Expect (The Normal Response)

Swelling: It is completely normal for the treated area to appear puffy or swollen—sometimes significantly more than you might expect. This is a temporary part of the process and will subside.

Tenderness: The area may feel slightly tender, warm, or bruised. This is your body’s natural response to the treatment.

The "Reset" Feeling: You may feel like your features look a little "different" or "deflated" while the swelling settles. Be patient; this is the process of returning to your natural, unique architecture.

Supporting Your Skin’s Recovery

Sun Protection: As always, prioritize your mineral-grade SPF to protect your skin barrier while it recovers.

Avoid Irritants: Skip any heavy exfoliants, retinoids, or AHAs/BHAs for at least 5–7 days following your treatment.

Follow-up: We will schedule a review appointment to assess the results. This is the perfect time to discuss your next steps, whether that is continuing your skin-first journey with our boosters or simply enjoying your refreshed, natural look.

When to Reach Out

Your comfort and safety are our priority. If you experience persistent, spreading redness, severe pain, or any concerns that feel out of the ordinary, please contact us immediately via your booking portal or direct line. We are here to support you.
