Thank you choosing and trusting your injectable treatment at Dermedica. We want to ensure your recovery is a smooth one.
Below are a few tips to help aid in recovery and healing after your injectable treatment:
For the next 24 hours:
- Do not do any vigorous exercise
- Avoid alcohol
- Add another pillow for a slightly more elevated sleep at night.
For the next 7 days:
- Apply Hirudoid cream (from pharmacy) to the bruised site if any. Massage the Hirudoid 3-4 times a day to assist in breaking down bruising topically. If the bruise is painful and is looking purple, please contact the clinic.
- Continue a good intake of water for hydration of the skin, 1 to 2 liters per day recommended.
- Consider taking ARNICA for 7 days post treatment to help reduce any swelling and bruising, along with applying your topical bruising treatment cream.
-
We advice not to plan any travel for at least 1 week after your treatment in the event that you may need to be reviewed by Dr Teh
After 7 days:
- AFTER 7 days post treatment, you may resume taking your Vitamin E, Fish Oil supplements and drinking green tea if you usually take them.
- Include in your diet lots of dark leafy greens, red and orange foods like sweet potato, pumpkin, berries, beetroot, citrus fruits to increase your antioxidants level plus Vitamin C intake to boost your healing
