What are the DOs and DON'Ts after Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

DO:

• Drink lots of water
• Sleep elevated on a couple of pillows
• Avoid hot drinks straight after for a couple of hours – this can dilate the blood vessels and result in more bruising
• Use cold packs on the injection sites to minimise the amount of swelling and bruising

DON’T:

• Go lie down or go straight to bed afterwards – the Anti-Wrinkle Injections can theoretically trickle to other muscles
• Consume alcohol – it can increase the swelling and bruising
• Do any heavy exercise or go to the gym on the same day – this can increase the blood pressure and subsequently cause more bleeding and bruising
