TO TOP UP OR NOT TO TOP UP?
I have had a lot of patients who are contacting me 5+ weeks post treatment for a “top up”. So let’s have a chat…
Wrinkle treatments top ups must be done 2-3 weeks after the initial treatment. No sooner, no later.
Masseters (jaw) and Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) are always reviewed at 4 weeks post treatment. The other areas are done at 2-3 weeks.
“Topping up” wrinkle products after the desired time can increase your risk of secondary resistance in the future. This is when your body forms antibodies against the product and it STOPS working completely. We encourage you to wait for full muscle movement to return to normal before having another treatment for the same reason.
Topping up before 2 weeks is dangerous, as the product has not fully kicked in yet, so adding more will increase your risk of lid/brow droops.
I hope that clears some things up and as always, this is to protect you and your health & safety. ❤️
