Perfect your lips

Yes, a consultation is required. As botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medication, you will need to meet with my partnered prescriber to ensure the treatment is suitable for you and to discuss your goals and any medical considerations.

No. If you choose to stop treatment, your muscles will gradually return to their normal activity, and your wrinkles will simply revert to how they looked before treatment—no worse.

To ensure the best results and minimise potential side effects, please follow these important pre-treatment guidelines:

• Plan ahead: Avoid scheduling treatments right before important social events, as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur.
• Travel notice: Inform us if you have any planned travel within 4 weeks of your treatment.
• Health status: Do not attend your appointment if you are feeling unwell in any way.
• Cold sores: If you're prone to cold sores, please discuss this with your treating medical professional. Treatment should be postponed if an active sore is present.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Anti-wrinkle injections are not suitable if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
• Medication disclosure: Inform your treating medical professional of all medications and supplements you're taking, as some may interfere with the treatment or increase bruising risk.
• Avoid Ibuprofen: Refrain from taking non-prescribed painkillers containing ibuprofen for at least 7 days prior to treatment, as they can increase bruising.
• Avoid alcohol and certain supplements: For 7 days before treatment, avoid alcohol and supplements such as:
• Fish oil
• Garlic
• Ginkgo biloba
• St. John’s Wort
• Vitamins A to E These can also increase your risk of bruising.

Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results and minimising side effects. Please follow these guidelines:

• Mild reactions: Small red bumps at the injection sites are normal and should resolve within an hour.
• No pressure: Avoid applying pressure or touching the treated areas for at least 8 hours post-treatment.
• Stay upright: Remain in an upright position for 4 hours following your treatment.
• No makeup: Do not apply makeup to the treated area for 24 hours.
• Avoid alcohol and exercise: Refrain from alcohol, strenuous activity, and exposure to extreme temperatures (e.g. saunas or hot showers) for 24 hours.
• Bruising: If bruising occurs, it may take a few days to appear and up to 10 days to fully resolve. Arnica cream can be helpful.
• Avoid ibuprofen and alcohol post-treatment: For 24–48 hours, avoid both, as they can contribute to bruising.
• When to expect results:
• Effects begin: 1–3 days after treatment
• Visible results: Day 7
• Full results: Day 14
