The treatment does not work instantly; takes about 4 hours to absorb into the muscle  and starts to visibly work within 2-6 days after treatment. At 14 days it is at its  maximum effect.  

The full effects last from 6 – 16 weeks before movement returns. The rate of  movement return varies from person to person and the frequency of treatments is an  individual choice if a restricted movement is to be maintained. If you get some  movement back after a few weeks, this is normal and reflects the rate of your cell  receptor replacement occurring in the facial muscles.  

After your treatment some activities may increase the risk of side effects: 

•  Do not touch the injection areas as you may introduce bacteria and cause  infection 
• For 4 hours after the treatment, do not lie down or do any rigorous exercise or  exert pressure on the area treated  

For 24-36 hours after treatment, do not expose yourself to extreme movements,  exercise or temperatures to avoid the solution migrating to other muscles

If you experience any adverse effects, contact UDrip and your GP as necessary

• A slight purple discolouration of the skin for 2-3 days post treatment can occur due to the colour of the plasma that has been injected.

Micro-Sclerotherapy Pre-Treatment Advice

-Do not use lotions or oils on your skin 24 hours prior to your treatment

-Dress in loose, comfortable clothing on the day of treatment to allow for your support hosiery

-Bring your support stockings with you to the clinic on the day of treatment

Micro-Sclerotherapy Post Treatment Advice

-Take a 10minute walk immediately after your treatment

-It is suggested that support hosiery is worn for 72 hours day and night post treatment, only

removing to shower or bath.

-The treated areas may look worse when you remove the hosiery - this is completely normal at this stage.

-Wear the hosiery during the day for a further 5-7 days, removing overnight.

-Avoid extremes of temperature for 14 days i.e. very hot baths, saunas, sun beds, ice-packs.

-Avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks - pigmentation may be enhanced and take longer to fade.

-Consider wearing long term compression hosiery to reduce the appearance of thread veins.

-Do not forget to bring your support hosiery with you to your next treatment session

Microneedling Aftercare 

The following aftercare advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment complications, to improve your comfort/healing and to help achieve the best possible results from treatment.

Please follow the aftercare advice for microneedling.

• The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling and appearances may be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases.

• Use a mild cleanser with tepid water to clean your face for 3 days after the treatment and gently dry the treated area. Keep your hands clean when touching your face.

• Avoid any perfumes, fake tan or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment.

• Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of infection.

• Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area.

• Avoid any skin exfoliation for 72 hours following treatment.

• It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two to three times a day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling.

• Avoid any products that contain alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and glycolic acid for at least 7 days after treatment.

• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds and exposure to heat for 72 hours after treatment. These can cause sweating which can irritate the delicate skin and slow down your ability to heal quickly.

• Avoid swimming for 72 hours after treatment.

• Avoid any excess alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours after treatment.

• Wear SPF 30 or greater sunscreen for at least 2 weeks following treatment as

your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight afterwards.

• Avoid any further cosmetic treatments e.g. Botox or dermal filler for 2 weeks

following treatment, or ask your practitioner for advice.

• Avoid any hair removal treatments such as waxing for 2 weeks after treatment or until the initial redness and swelling has resolved.

• You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.

• You must contact your practitioner as soon as possible if you notice any other unwanted side effects.

• Your practitioner will advise when further treatment appointments are required. If you are advised to attend a follow up appointment, please do make every effort to attend them. You should do this even if you believe that the recovery process is going well and you cannot see that there are any visible complications. It is essential that you have read all of the information available. Once you have read and understood all of the below, please sign the declaration at the bottom of this form. Please do let your practitioner know if you have any questions or if you do not understand any of the aftercare instructions provided below.
