Aftercare for Lanluma

Thank you for choosing Skin Medical for your Lanluma treatment. To ensure the best possible results and a smooth recovery, please review the following aftercare guidelines. 

What to expect following your Lanluma treatment: 

• Moderate to severe swelling at the injection sites is common and should begin to subside within 7–10 days. 
• Redness, bruising, and tenderness may occur. These symptoms are temporary and will improve as your skin adjusts to the treatment.
• Pinching or firm lumps may be felt under the skin for a short period as the product settles. This is normal and will typically resolve in a few days.

These side effects are normal and should subside shortly. If you experience anything more severe or prolonged, don’t hesitate to contact us. 

✅ Massage the Treated Area: Gently massage the treated areas using a pinch motion for 10 minutes twice a day for 3 weeks following your treatment. This helps with product distribution and ensures the best possible results. 
✅ Avoid Touching, rubbing or applying pressure to the Treated Area: For the first 24 hours, avoid touching or applying any pressure to the treated area to allow the product to settle properly. 
✅ Exercise and Heat Exposure: Refrain from strenuous physical activity,  saunas, hot tubs, or any activities that raise your body temperature for 24 hours post-treatment.
✅ Avoid extreme temperatures, UV light, saunas, sunbeds, swimming pools, hot baths, cold plunges until swelling and redness subside.
✅ Avoid intense facial treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments until your treatment is completely healed.
✅ With hand augmentation, avoid carrying heavy objects and do not wear any jewellery, such as rings or watches, until any swelling has resolved.
✅ Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen on treated areas during this time. 
✅ Take Paracetamol if Needed: If you experience discomfort, you may take paracetamol as needed. Please avoid taking Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Nurofen, or other anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours as they may increase bruising. 
✅ Avoid Alcohol for 24 Hours: Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and swelling, so it is recommended to avoid alcohol for 24 hours after your treatment. 
✅ No Makeup for 24 Hours: You may apply makeup 24 hours after your treatment, but we recommend using clean tools or new sponges to minimize the risk of infection. 
✅ Cold Compress: If you experience swelling, apply a cold compress (not directly on the skin) to help reduce swelling.
✅ Avoid laser treatments, chemical peels, or skin resurfacing treatments in the area being treated for at least two week after treatment.
✅ Stay well-hydrated: Drink plenty of water helps improve collagen stimulation and enhances treatment results. 
✅ Results Timeline: Lanluma stimulates collagen production, and while some results can be visible immediately after the treatment, full results typically appear within 4–8 weeks as collagen continues to form. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, and your aesthetic professional will guide you on the number of treatments you need. Results vary from person to person, but additional treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired outcome. Your treatment plan will be tailored based on your skin and aesthetic goals.
