Ideally, arrive with a clean face and no makeup; otherwise, we will cleanse your skin before treatment. The practice advises avoiding alcohol for 24 hours beforehand and reporting any changes in your health.

Do not stop prescribed medication on your own. Tell the doctor about aspirin, blood thinners, ibuprofen, naproxen, other anti-inflammatory medications and supplements. Some increase bruising: any change requires authorization from the prescribing doctor. For nonessential medications, ask whether you should avoid them before treatment.

Report medical conditions, allergies, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a tendency to develop abnormal scars and episodes of herpes. Also mention previous injectables or procedures, including the areas and dates, even if performed elsewhere.

According to the practice’s guidance, you may do your usual exercise before attending if you feel well. This differs from exercise after treatment: confirm that day’s restrictions with the doctor.

Let us know if you have a fever, infection, active herpes, lesions in the treatment area or a recent illness. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with certain medical conditions, it may be preferable to postpone aesthetic procedures. The doctor will assess your case.

Botulinum toxin acts on muscle activity to soften expression lines. Biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse address collagen and support, depending on the case. Skinboosters focus on hydration and skin quality. They are not interchangeable; your assessment determines what you need.

The doctor’s approach prioritizes natural-looking results, proportion and skin quality. An individual plan is proposed after discussing the changes you want. No procedure can guarantee an exact result; reviewing expectations is part of the assessment.

Discomfort depends on the procedure, area and your sensitivity. When appropriate, topical or local anesthesia and comfort measures are used. Tell us about any discomfort during the session; a pain-free procedure is not guaranteed.

Temporary swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising may occur. Some people resume their usual activities that day, but recovery varies. Tell us about upcoming travel or an important event so we can plan with enough time.

This depends on the treatment: botulinum toxin takes effect progressively, and biostimulation also takes time. Initial swelling is not the final result. The doctor will explain progress, follow-up and the possible need for additional sessions.

In some cases, yes, if medically appropriate. The doctor decides whether to combine them in one visit or schedule them separately. You do not need to choose a package or several procedures before your consultation.

As general practice guidance, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours, and pools, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid intense sun exposure during the first few days. These guidelines are adjusted to your procedure and do not replace individual instructions.

Do not massage or manipulate treated areas on your own. Some biostimulators have specific massage instructions, while other treatments require avoiding it. Follow only the technique and frequency prescribed by the doctor.

Safety begins with a medical assessment, review of your history and treatment selection. The approach includes anatomical planning, hygiene measures, an explanation of benefits and risks, personalized aftercare and follow-up guidance. These measures aim to reduce risks, not eliminate them.

The practice uses recognized aesthetic medicine brands such as Sculptra, Radiesse, Botox, Belotero and Restylane when appropriate. Selection depends on the product’s characteristics and your skin’s needs. A premium brand does not make a procedure risk-free: assessment, technique and follow-up also matter. You can ask which product is proposed for your case.

Listening to your goals, explaining alternatives and costs, answering questions before you decide and providing aftercare instructions. It also means recognizing when a procedure is unsuitable and guiding follow-up according to your progress.

After an injectable, severe or increasing pain, very pale skin or unusual patches, or vision changes require immediate assessment. If you experience vision loss, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or neurological symptoms, seek emergency care without waiting for a WhatsApp reply. Also inform the doctor. Fever or increasing redness requires prompt medical advice.
