Pre & Post Care Information
Pre and post care are essential components of any aesthetic treatment, and at Renew Aesthetics, they are a top priority for ensuring optimal results and client satisfaction. Pre-care helps prepare the skin or body for the procedure, minimizing risks and enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment. It includes guidelines such as avoiding certain medications or skincare products, ensuring that the skin is in the best possible condition before treatment.
Post-care is equally crucial, as it supports healing, reduces side effects like swelling or irritation, and helps maintain the longevity of the treatment’s results. By providing personalized pre and post care instructions, Renew Aesthetics ensures that every client experiences a safe, effective, and long-lasting outcome.
Pre-Care Instructions:
1 week before your appointment:
⦁ REFRAIN from using ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oils, and other blood-thinning medications, supplements, and foods (NOTE: Consult your GP before stopping prescribed medications).
2-5 Days before your appointment:
⦁ AVOID using skincare products containing active ingredients, such as retinols.
⦁ AVOID waxing, tweezing, and hair removal in the area where you desire treatment (irritated skin cannot undergo cosmetic injections).
⦁ Consider starting arnica tablets if you are prone to bruising and swelling (available at most health food stores).
24 Hours before your appointment:
⦁ AVOID consuming alcohol and smoking.
⦁ Inform your injector if you have any active cold sores, especially if you plan to undergo volume enhancing treatment (this is not recommended).
On the Day of your appointment:
⦁ Ensure you are well-hydrated and have eaten a substantial meal to prevent feeling faint or dizzy.

Post-Care Instructions:
Post-Treatment Guidelines for Wrinkle Reduction:
⦁ Maintain an upright position for a minimum of 4 hours.
⦁ Avoid touching, rubbing, or leaning on the treated area (you may gently cleanse your face at least 4 hours after treatment).
⦁ Refrain from strenuous physical activities for 24 hours.
⦁ Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours after treatment.
⦁ Stay away from heat exposure for 24 hours (e.g., sauna, spa, direct sunlight).
⦁ For 2 weeks following treatment, avoid facials, waxing, laser procedures, or face-down massages on the treated upper face.
⦁ Opt paracetamol for headache or discomfort relief.
(Refrain from using ibuprofen (Nurofen), diclofenac (Voltaren), and Aspirin for 24 hours)
⦁ Full results may take up to 2 weeks to become noticeable.
If you experience more muscle movement than expected or desired after 2 weeks, please schedule a follow-up appointment (additional adjustments/'top ups' may involve extra charges).
Post-Treatment Guidelines for Volume Enhancing Treatment:
⦁ Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated areas today and avoid applying pressure to these areas for the next week.
⦁ Ensure the treated area remains clean and avoid applying makeup for at least 12-24 hours post-treatment.
⦁ Limit physical activities and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
⦁ Abstain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours.
⦁ Try to sleep on your back for the first 1-3 nights following facial treatments, such as cheek, chin, and jawline volume enhancing treatment.

Signs of Tissue Damage/Necrosis
