Find your treatment

Important: when to seek help

For sudden severe pain, blanching or white/dusky mottled skin, worsening colour changes, cold skin, or visual symptoms after filler: contact your practitioner immediately and seek emergency assessment. Sudden visual changes after facial filler are an emergency: call 999 / attend A&E.
Call 999 for breathing difficulties, swelling of the tongue/throat, collapse, or other signs of severe allergic reaction.
Contact the clinic promptly for increasing redness, heat, swelling, discharge, fever, severe or worsening pain, or any unexpected reaction. For urgent out-of-hours concerns use NHS 111; for emergencies call 999.

Anti-wrinkle injections (1–3 areas, full face and small areas)

Mild redness, small bumps, tenderness or bruising at injection sites can occur and usually settle quickly.
Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and excessive heat for the rest of the day.
Keep skin clean; avoid applying make-up until injection points have closed (ideally several hours).
Effects often begin in 3–5 days, with the full effect typically assessed at around 14 days. Attend your agreed review if needed.
Seek urgent medical advice for difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, or unusual widespread muscle weakness.

Nefertiti neck lift, masseter and hyperhidrosis injections

Follow the anti-wrinkle injection guidance above; avoid rubbing the injection sites.
For masseter treatment, temporary chewing fatigue or tenderness can occur. Seek advice for significant chewing weakness or asymmetry.
For neck treatment, urgently report swallowing, speech or breathing problems.
For underarm sweating treatment, avoid deodorant on irritated or broken skin immediately after treatment and avoid vigorous activity for the rest of the day. Results may take up to 2 weeks.

Dermal fillers (lips, cheeks, jaw, nose, folds and 8-point lift)

Swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary unevenness are common. Lips may swell more during the first 24–48 hours.
Do not press, massage or manipulate the area unless specifically instructed. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and excessive heat for 24–48 hours.
Use a cool compress gently if advised; keep the area clean and avoid make-up until injection points have closed.
Allow approximately 2 weeks for swelling to settle before judging the result; follow the individual review plan.
IMPORTANT: Increasing or disproportionate pain, pale/grey/mottled skin, cool skin, or any vision change requires immediate emergency assessment. Nose filler has particular vascular risks.

Filler dissolving / hyaluronidase and patch testing

Mild redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness can occur after a patch test or dissolving treatment.
Avoid rubbing the area and strenuous exercise or heat for 24 hours. Follow the clinician’s advice about when filler can be reassessed or replaced.
An allergic reaction is possible even after a negative patch test. Seek emergency help for breathing difficulty, throat swelling or collapse.
Contact the clinic for worsening pain, spreading redness or unusual skin colour changes.

Skin boosters and polynucleotides

Small raised injection bumps, swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising may occur; bumps usually settle over the next few days.
Do not massage or pick injection points unless your clinician has specifically advised it. Avoid make-up until sites close, and avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and intense heat for 24–48 hours.
Use gentle cleanser, moisturiser and daily SPF 50. Avoid strong exfoliating acids and retinoids for around 48 hours or until irritation has settled.
Improvements are gradual and multiple sessions may be recommended. Your course schedule is individualised.
Contact the clinic for worsening pain, marked swelling, heat, discharge or skin colour changes.

Fat dissolving injections (Aqualyx / Lemon Bottle)

Swelling, tenderness, bruising and temporary firmness can occur; the duration varies by product and area.
Avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol, saunas and excessive heat for 24–48 hours. Do not massage unless instructed for the exact product used.
Follow the product-specific instructions given in clinic; not all fat-dissolving products have the same evidence, regulatory status or aftercare.
Seek prompt assessment for severe or worsening pain, blistering, discolouration, spreading redness, fever or drainage.

Vitamin injections (B12, vitamin C, vitamin D and iron)

You may experience temporary soreness, redness or bruising at the injection site. Keep the area clean and avoid rubbing it.
Contact the clinic for persistent pain, redness, swelling or a rash. Seek emergency help for signs of anaphylaxis.
Iron injections may cause lasting skin staining if medicine leaks into the tissue. Report burning, marked pain or staining immediately.
Follow the specific medicine information and any blood-test or review plan given by your prescriber; different preparations require different monitoring.

Hydra facial

Mild pinkness, tightness or sensitivity may occur and generally settles within a day.
Use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and SPF 50. Avoid exfoliating acids, scrubs and retinoids for 24–48 hours, or longer if your skin remains sensitive.
Avoid saunas, very hot showers and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Do not pick or scrub the skin.
Contact the clinic if you develop blistering, persistent burning or worsening redness.

Microneedling with exosomes

Redness, warmth, tightness and mild swelling are common for 24–72 hours; pinpoint marks or flaking can occur.
For the first 24 hours, use only the products advised by your practitioner, avoid make-up, touching the face unnecessarily, sweating and heat. Use clean pillowcases and hands.
Once skin tolerates it, use gentle cleanser, bland moisturiser and SPF 50. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs and active skincare for approximately 5–7 days or until fully recovered.
Avoid swimming pools, saunas and intense exercise for 48 hours or until the skin barrier has recovered. Do not pick flaking skin.
Exosome products vary in formulation and regulatory status; follow the specific product instructions. Seek advice for worsening redness, pus, fever or unusual rash.

Laser carbon facial

Mild warmth, redness or sensitivity may occur. Use gentle skincare, moisturiser and SPF 50.
Avoid retinoids, acids, exfoliation, saunas and excessive heat for 48–72 hours or until skin settles.
Do not pick or scrub treated skin. Report blistering, burns, significant swelling or increasing pain.

Laser hair removal

Redness and perifollicular bumps may occur for several hours to a couple of days. Cool gently if advised.
Avoid hot baths, saunas, friction, perfumed products and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning; use SPF 50 on exposed areas. Do not wax or pluck between sessions; shaving is usually acceptable once skin settles.
Report blisters, burns, pigment changes or prolonged pain.

Laser tattoo / pigmentation removal

Heat, swelling, crusting and sometimes blistering can occur. Keep the area clean, protected and covered as instructed by your laser practitioner.
Do not pop blisters or pick scabs. Avoid friction, swimming, saunas, tanning and sun exposure until healed; use SPF 50 once skin is intact.
Follow the dressing and wound-care instructions specific to your laser and treated area. Seek review for spreading redness, discharge, fever or increasing pain.
Pigment changes and scarring are possible; healing and clearance take multiple weeks and sessions.
