Before your procedure our doctors or nurses will create tailored treatment for you and your personal needs. We recommend avoiding smoking and consuming alcohol as this can dehydrate the skin. Avoid consuming green and ginger tea, fish oils and supplements, chilli, garlic and krill prior to your treatment as well as taking aspirin based products.
This procedure takes approximately an hour to complete and afterwards you will have minimal recovery time. After your treatment, ice the treated area 4-5 times a day to reduce swelling and bruising, rest for a full day after the treatment and rest your facial movements. Our doctors will organise a post-treatment plan for your pain killers. It is recommended that you eat to avoid nausea and that you focus on drinking liquids.
