Key facts
- Washing and makeup: after 2 to 3 hours
- Patch: off the next day
- Gentle massage: 2 to 3 times a day for 3 days
- Avoid for 1 week: alcohol, sauna, hard exercise
- Bruise cream: provided by the clinic
What happens in the first few hours?
Skin boosters such as Rejuran, Juvelook, Sculptra, Radiesse and exosome products leave small bumps at the injection points. A lumpy feeling is temporary. After 2 to 3 hours you can wash your face and apply makeup. Keep the first wash gentle.
What is the day-by-day plan?
- Day 1: remove the patch. Begin gentle massage of the treated area, 2 to 3 times a day.
- Days 2 and 3: continue the gentle massage. Use the bruise cream the clinic provides on any bruises.
- Days 4 to 7: stop the massage after day 3. Avoid alcohol, sauna and hard exercise through the end of week one.
- Weeks 1 to 2: bruising, swelling and itching settle.
This massage advice differs from filler, where massage is avoided, so follow the instructions for the product you had.
What is normal?
Bruising, swelling and itching typically settle within 1 to 2 weeks. The bumps fade as the product spreads. If your plan includes a repeat, the clinic usually schedules it about a month later, and boosters are often combined with Secret RF.
What should you avoid?
- Alcohol for 1 week
- Sauna for 1 week
- Hard exercise for 1 week
- Pressing hard on the area after the 3-day massage period
When should you contact the clinic?
Contact Shinebom Clinic if lumps grow or feel hard and painful after a week, if redness, warmth or swelling worsen, or if the skin changes color. These need a doctor's review. Enquiries in English are welcome on the contact page.
