Consultation:

• Before your appointment, you will have a no-obligation consultation. This provides an opportunity to discuss your goals, look at treatment options together, discuss any concerns you may have and to review your medical history. This allows us to ensure suitability of this treatment. We will discuss expectations and results of the treatment.

• During the consultation the prescriber I work in partnership with will be present to complete there face to face assessment should you wish to go ahead with treatment.

Before your appointment:

To achieve the best possible results, please follow the below guidance:

• Drink plenty of water on the day of your appointment.

• Inform me of any medications that you are taking or changes to health.

• Arrive with a clean face and ideally without makeup on.

• Avoid drinking alcohol for 24hours before your appointment.

• Avoid taking blood thinning medications such as Aspirin for 7 days before you appointment as these increase the likelihood of bruising . If your doctor has prescribed aspirin or other blood thinners for a medical condition, do not stop taking it.

• Other supplements to avoid 3-7 days prior include fish oil, Vitamin E, & Ginkgo Biloba.

• Ideally don’t schedule your appointment immediately before a big event as there is a chance of bruising. Results will not fully develop until 2 weeks post treatment and at this time any adjustments required can be made.

During your appointment:

• Before we start treatment we will quickly go over your medical history and review if there are any changes to health since your consultation.

• Treatment areas will be cleansed.

• I will ask you to make a few different facial expressions and will photograph the treatment areas both in expression and at rest.

• I will mark up injection sites with a white pencil which can be removed easily post injection.

• I will then inject each site using a very fine needle. This is usually virtually painless but you may feel a slight pinch or tingling sensation as the product is injected into the targeted muscles. Injecting does not take long.

• Once completed, I will clean the area once more and aftercare advice will be provided.

Aftercare:

• Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for 24hours.

• Avoid intensive exercise for 24hours (this includes yoga and Pilates).

• Avoid alcohol for 24hours.

• Avoid heat such as Saunas, hot tubs and baths for 24hours.

• Do not lie down for 4 hours post treatment.

• You may gently cleanse you face that evening but please avoid rubbing the area and ideally do not apply make - up to the area if avoidable or at least for 4 hours post treatment.

Follow-up appointment:

• You will be offered a follow up appointment 2 weeks later. This is so that we can review results and make any adjustments or top up any areas as required. In this appointment I will again ask you to make a series of different facial expressions. This allows us together to review the treatment, discuss if treatment goals have been met and for me to photograph the areas, allowing us to compare before and after results.

• This appointment also allows you to ask any additional questions you may have.
