One of the questions I hear most often in clinic is:
"𝘐𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭?"

The answer is yes, mild bruising can happen after treatment and is usually a temporary part of the healing process.

Small blood vessels may be affected during the injection, and because everyone heals differently, some people bruise more than others. Certain medications and supplements can also increase the likelihood of bruising.

In most cases, bruising begins to improve over the following days and settles naturally within 1–2 weeks.

The most important?
Allow your body time to heal.
Simple aftercare, such as avoiding vigorous exercise for the first 24–48 hours and following your practitioner's advice, can support the normal healing process.

If you experience increasing pain, significant swelling, skin colour changes, or have any concerns after treatment, contact your treating practitioner promptly for individual advice.

Despite what you may have heard, hair loss doesn’t have to be inevitable.

Just follow these simple maintenance tips to prevent damage and save your strands 😊

Our first tip is to avoid styles that pull on the hair!

Hair fibers have some degree of flexibility, but they can only stretch so far before they’re damaged.

Tight hairstyles like ponytails or braids pull your hair away from the scalp, and over time, the bond between your hair and scalp will loosen.

Your best bet is to avoid hairstyles that tug too tightly.

Next, make sure you keep your hair tools on low heat.

We love styling our luscious locks just as much as the next hair care fanatic.

But if you’re not using them properly, heated tools like blow dryers and curling irons can dehydrate your hair follicles and cause irreversible damage.

Do your hair a favour and drop the heat down low!

Lastly, schedule an appointment if you notice any excessive hair loss.

𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 is one of the most common culprits of hair loss. High androgen levels can shrink your hair follicles, this will prevent your hair from growing properly.

Exfoliation helps remove some of the dead skin cells that build up on the skin’s surface. When chosen carefully for your skin, it may help improve the appearance of dullness, uneven texture and blocked pores.

If you've ever looked in the mirror the morning after treatment and thought, "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥!", that's a very common reaction.

The good news is that what you're seeing is usually swelling, not your final result.

Lips have a rich blood supply, so it's completely normal for them to appear fuller during the first 24–48 hours as part of the body's natural healing response.
