Before the session of injections (hyaluronic acid or Botox)

1- Choose a practitioner who is used to giving injections. Better word of mouth than a random choice on the Internet for example.

2- Bring your Health Book of the Skin: any doctor, before giving injections, check the ones you already had to avoid incidents of allergies, granulomas ...

3- Demand brands of injectables that have proven their worth: Juvederm, Restylane ... Avoid those for which there is little perspective.

4- To avoid hematoma do not take anticoagulant (type aspirin), vitamin C, Gingko Biloba, Omega 3 (which fluidify the blood), 4 to 5 days before injections but on the contrary made two to three days before and after the session a homeopathic treatment of Arnica Montana 9CH, or apply 2 to 3 drops of pure Helicrysum essential oil pure or diluted in 20 drops of vegetable oil after the session. It is also effective against bruising.

5- No anti-inflammatory treatment in the previous 24 hours and the next four hours.

6- Schedule your appointment if you have an outbreak of herpes, eczema or inflammatory acne .

7- 24 hours before your appointment, flee the sun and do not drink alcohol.

8- Attention, caution: the practitioner will hesitate to practice injections if you are pregnant or breastfeeding ... as a precaution.

9- Forget injections of hyaluronic acid if you have a field of progressive allergy, if you suffer from autoimmune diseases, or hepatitis C or if you have previously received injections of non-absorbable products.

10- Namely: as regards botulinum toxin, the contraindications are few but can be serious, such as progressive muscular disease (myopathy) or botulism (poisoning with botulinum toxin rare today but caused for example by canned poorly sterilized housewives).

Important : In any case, do not hide anything from your doctor during the interview that precedes the session. So is the success of the results.

Good reflexes after the session of injections

1- No sauna or steam room before or after the injections: the heat as the cold weather are cons indicated because they disturb the circulatory system.

2- During the 24 hours following the injections, no sport, no facial massage, no aggressive makeup removal , which could "move" the product.

3- Do not wear a tight hat when you come out of the session and, do you ever know if you feel like it? Do not do the pear! This gym upside down may spread the product out of the treated area.
