Post-Treatment Care
Bruising, swelling, or erythema (redness) may occur after the procedure. Most cases resolve within 1–2 weeks, but symptoms may last up to 4 weeks depending on individual variation.
Light rinsing with water is permitted from the day of treatment, but for skin stability, we recommend starting full cleansing and makeup the following day.
For optimal recovery, please avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas, steam rooms, swimming, and strenuous exercise for at least one week.
Please avoid opening your mouth too widely for 1–2 weeks after the procedure. When sleeping, avoid lying face down and sleep on your back whenever possible.
Foreign body sensation, pain, or tightness felt during facial expressions, cleansing, or eating is a normal part of the healing process and will gradually improve within 4–8 weeks.
If the inserted threads become exposed or discomfort persists abnormally, please contact the clinic immediately.
These instructions provide general post-treatment care information for patients treated at Lunn Dermatology Clinic.
If you need medical advice or have any concerns, we recommend contacting the clinic or scheduling an in-person consultation.
