WRINKLE TREATMENTS
-
Wrinkles are a natural part of ageing as the skin becomes thinner, drier, and loses elasticity over time. Continuous muscle movements, such as smiling or frowning, can also lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, which may deepen into static wrinkles if left unaddressed. Other factors like sun exposure, dehydration, genetics, and lifestyle choices can accelerate the appearance of lines and creases.
At Blush, we understand that every face tells a unique story. In your consultation with Nurse Melinda, our experienced aesthetic nurse, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, explore your cosmetic goals, and receive a thorough facial assessment. Nurse Melinda will walk you through personalised treatment options designed to soften wrinkles and enhance your natural beauty, ensuring you feel comfortable, well-informed, and confident in your choices.
Book your complimentary consultation today and take the first step towards refreshed, youthful skin.

To ensure the best results from your appointment, please follow these important guidelines in the lead-up to your treatment:
Avoid Vigorous Physical Activity: Refrain from any strenuous exercise for 24 hours before your appointment, as increased blood flow can heighten the risk of bruising.
Limit Alcohol Consumption: Please avoid large intakes of alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your treatment, as this can also contribute to bruising.
Steer Clear of Certain Medications: Do not take aspirin or Vitamin E supplements for one week before your treatment, as these can increase the likelihood of bleeding and bruising.
By following these instructions, you can help ensure a smoother treatment experience and optimal results. If you have any questions or need further guidance, feel free to reach out to our team.
-
Avoid touching the treated area: To prevent the spread of bacteria and ensure proper healing, avoid touching, rubbing or applying makeup to the injected area for at least 4 hours after the procedure.
Stay upright: For the first four hours after the injections, it's recommended to remain in an upright position and avoid lying down. This helps to prevent the migration of the botulinum toxin to unintended areas.
Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or activities that cause excessive sweating for the first 4 hours. Sweating can potentially spread the botulinum toxin to adjacent muscles.
Avoid facial treatments: Steer clear of facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or any other facial treatments for at least one week after injections. These treatments may increase the risk of complications or interfere with the results.
Use ice packs (if advised): If your injector recommends it, you can apply ice packs wrapped in a cloth to the treated area. This can help reduce swelling and alleviate any discomfort. However, be sure not to apply excessive pressure or ice directly on the skin.
Refrain from alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 4 hours after the procedure. Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of spread of the botulinum toxin.
Be patient: The full effects of botulinum toxin can take several days to appear. It's essential to be patient and wait for the results to take effect which can take two weeks.
Follow-up appointment: If your injector provider has scheduled a follow-up appointment, make sure to attend it. This allows her/him to assess the results and address any concerns or questions you may have.
-
Injection site redness: Mild redness around the injection sites is a common and temporary side effect. It typically subsides within a few hours or days.
Swelling: Some degree of swelling may occur at the injection sites. This swelling is usually mild and localized, resolving within a few hours to a few days.
Bruising: Bruising can occur at the injection sites, especially if you are prone to bruising. The severity and duration of bruising vary from person to person but typically resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks.
Tenderness or discomfort: You may experience mild tenderness or discomfort at the injection sites. This sensation is generally temporary and should resolve within a few days.
Headache: In some cases, a mild headache may occur after receiving botulinum toxin injections. This headache typically subsides within a few hours or days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary.
Flu-like symptoms: Some individuals may experience flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, mild fever, or muscle weakness after botulinum toxin injections. These symptoms are usually temporary and resolve within a short period.
Drooping or asymmetry (rare): In rare cases, the injected botulinum toxin may spread to unintended areas and cause temporary muscle weakness, resulting in drooping eyelids or asymmetry of facial features. These effects are typically temporary and resolve within weeks to a couple of months as the botulinum toxin wears off.
VOLUME TREATMENTS
-
Restore your youthful glow with our non-surgical facial volume treatments at Blush. As we age, our skin naturally loses volume, collagen production declines, and elasticity diminishes, leading to a loss of definition and symmetry. Our skilled Cosmetic Registered Nurse will listen to your concerns and identify your unique needs during a thorough consultation.
Using non-invasive techniques, we can enhance areas such as the lips, jawline, chin, and mid-facial region, helping to revitalise your skin and create a refreshed, youthful appearance. Embrace the opportunity to reverse the signs of ageing and celebrate a more youthful you. Book your consultation today to explore personalised treatment options designed just for you!

Avoid touching or applying significant pressure to the treated area for 2 weeks after the procedure. This includes avoiding excessive rubbing, massaging, or pressing on the area.
Minimize strenuous exercise or activities that increase blood flow to the face for the first 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. This can help reduce swelling and bruising.
Apply cold compresses or ice packs to the treated area for the first 24 hours as needed. This can help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Remember to wrap the ice pack in a clean cloth to protect your skin.
Avoid exposure to excessive heat, such as saunas, hot tubs, or steam rooms, for at least 48 hours after the procedure. Heat can increase swelling and potentially affect the results.
Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours after the procedure, as alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
Keep your head elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling. Try using an extra pillow or sleeping in a slightly upright position.
Follow any specific instructions provided by your injector regarding follow-up appointments or additional treatments.
Attend follow-up appointments: It's important to attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider. She/he can assess your progress, address any concerns or questions you may have, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Swelling: Swelling is a common side effect of filler injections and usually occurs immediately or within the first few hours after the procedure. It can last for a few days to a week, depending on the individual and the specific filler used.
Bruising: Bruising at the injection site is also common and may appear as small, localized areas of discolouration. The bruising can vary in severity and typically resolves within a week or two.
Redness: Some redness or mild inflammation may occur at the injection site, which is usually temporary and subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
Tenderness or sensitivity: The treated area may feel tender or sensitive to touch for a few days after the injection. This tenderness is usually mild and should improve over time.
Itching: Itching or a mild sensation of tightness may be experienced in the treated area. This is generally temporary and should resolve on its own.
Lumpiness or unevenness: Initially, the filler may create a sensation of lumpiness or unevenness in the treated area. This is usually temporary and should smooth out as the filler settles.
Discolouration: In rare cases, the injected area may appear slightly bluish or discoloured. This is usually due to superficial bruising and should resolve as the bruise heals.
Rare complications: Although uncommon, there is a risk of more serious complications such as infection, allergic reactions, or vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel). If you experience severe pain, excessive swelling, or any concerning symptoms or are otherwise concerned, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Please see the clinical contact details to reach your injector and after-hours support.
HYDRATION TREATMENTS
-

Using advanced, non-surgical techniques, our expert team infuses the skin with hydrating boosters that plump and revitalise, addressing dryness, fine lines, and uneven texture. Each treatment is tailored to enhance your skin’s natural radiance, giving you a refreshed, youthful look that glows from within.

After your Hydration Treatment, you may notice some mild side effects as your skin adjusts. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
1. Small Bumps at Injection Sites
Tiny raised bumps or "bee-sting" marks at the injection points are normal.
These usually settle within 24–48 hours as the product integrates into the skin.
2. Mild Redness & Swelling
The treated area may appear slightly red or puffy, especially within the first few hours.
Swelling is usually minimal and resolves quickly.
3. Slight Tenderness or Sensitivity
The skin may feel a little tender or tight, especially in the first 24–48 hours.
This is normal and should gradually improve.
4. Minimal Bruising
Some clients experience mild bruising at injection sites.
This fades within a few days and can be covered with makeup after 24 hours.
5. Gradual Skin Improvement
Unlike dermal fillers, this is a skin booster, meaning results develop over time.
You’ll start noticing smoother, more hydrated, and radiant skin over 2–4 weeks as the hyaluronic acid attracts moisture.
Maximum results are typically seen at 4 weeks and can last up to 9 months.
If you experience severe pain, skin discoloration (pale or blue patches), or prolonged swelling beyond 7–10 days, contact your provider immediately.
BIOSTIMULATORS
-
Biostimulator injections are an advanced treatment designed to restore volume, improve skin quality, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate volume, biostimulators work gradually to enhance skin firmness and elasticity by stimulating collagen types I and III and elastin —the key building blocks of youthful skin.

After your Biostimulator treatment, you may experience some common side effects as your skin adjusts. These are completely normal and typically resolve within a few days.
1. Mild Swelling & Redness
Some swelling is expected, especially in the first 24–48 hours.
The treated area may appear slightly red or feel warm.
Swelling usually subsides within a few days but can last up to a week in some cases.
2. Bruising
Minor bruising at the injection sites is common, especially if you are prone to bruising.
Bruising can take a few days to a week to fade.
Using a cool compress (gently) can help reduce bruising and swelling.
3. Tenderness or Mild Discomfort
The treated area may feel slightly firm, lumpy, or tender for the first few days.
Any tenderness should gradually improve over the next week.
4. Immediate but Developing Results
You may notice an instant improvement in volume and contour.
Radiesse stimulates collagen production, so final results continue to improve over 4–6 weeks.
5. Skin Firmness or Tightness
Some clients report a temporary feeling of tightness as the filler integrates with the skin.
This is part of the collagen-stimulating process and settles over time.
If you have any unusual symptoms, such as severe pain, skin discoloration (pale, blue, or dusky patches), or persistent swelling beyond 7–10 days, contact your provider immediately.

Before your Hyperhidrosis treatment , follow these guidelines to ensure the best results and minimise side effects:
1. Avoid Shaving (24–48 Hours Before)
Do not shave the treatment area (e.g., underarms) for at least 24–48 hours before your appointment to reduce irritation.
2. Clean & Dry Skin
Arrive with clean, product-free skin—no deodorant, lotions, powders, or perfumes in the treatment area.
3. Avoid Blood Thinners (7 Days Before)
To reduce bruising, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (Nurofen), naproxen, and other NSAIDs.
Avoid supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, ginseng, and garlic, which can thin the blood.
4. Minimise Alcohol & Caffeine (24 Hours Before)
Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine, as they can increase the risk of bruising and sensitivity.
5. Wear Loose, Breathable Clothing
If treating the underarms, wear a loose-fitting top to avoid irritation after treatment.
6. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your body well-hydrated.
7. Avoid Vigorous Exercise (On the Day of Treatment)
Heavy sweating before your appointment can make the skin more sensitive.
8. If You Have a Big Event, Plan Ahead
Results take 2 weeks to fully develop, so schedule your treatment accordingly.
-
Following your Hyperhidrosis Treatment, it’s important to take care of the treated area to ensure the best results and minimise side effects.
1. Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Area (24 Hours)
Do not massage, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area.
Avoid scratching or applying deodorant, lotions, or perfumes to prevent irritation.
2. No Exercise or Excessive Sweating (24–48 Hours)
Avoid intense workouts, saunas, hot showers, or anything that causes excessive sweating.
This prevents the product from spreading outside the intended area.
3. Skip Hot Showers & Baths (24 Hours)
Use lukewarm water to avoid stimulating sweat glands while the product settles.
4. Avoid Alcohol & Blood Thinners (24 Hours)
Reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding alcohol and medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil.
5. Wear Loose, Breathable Clothing
If treated in the underarms, avoid tight clothing that may irritate the skin.
6. Be Patient – Results Take Time
You’ll start noticing reduced sweating in 5–7 days, with full effects in 2 weeks.
Results typically last 4–6 months, depending on individual factors.
-
After receiving a Hyperhidrosis Treatment, you may experience some mild side effects. These are completely normal and typically resolve within a few days.
1. Mild Redness & Swelling (First Few Hours)
The treated area may appear slightly red, puffy, or raised, similar to small mosquito bites.
This usually settles within a few hours.
2. Tiny Bumps or Tenderness at Injection Sites (24–48 Hours)
Small bumps at the injection sites are normal and should fade within a day or two.
Some mild tenderness or sensitivity may occur but should not be painful.
3. Possible Mild Bruising
Light bruising can appear, especially if you bruise easily.
Bruises usually fade within a few days to a week.
4. No Immediate Sweat Reduction
Sweating does not stop instantly—it gradually reduces over 5–7 days.
Full effects develop over 2 weeks, so be patient as your body responds.
5. Skin Feels Normal – But Drier!
Once the treatment takes effect, you’ll notice a significant reduction in sweating.
The treated area may feel drier than usual, which is completely normal.
6. Longevity of Results
Results typically last 4–6 months, but this varies from person to person.
Regular maintenance treatments help prolong the benefits.
If you experience severe pain, significant swelling, or skin discoloration (pale or bluish patches), contact your provider immediately.

Proper preparation can help ensure the best results and minimise side effects from your PDO Skin Tightening Threads treatment. Follow these guidelines leading up to your appointment:
1. Avoid Blood Thinners (7 Days Before)

Aspirin, ibuprofen (Nurofen), and naproxen
Fish oil, vitamin E, ginseng, garlic, and other natural blood thinners
If you take prescription blood thinners, consult your doctor before stopping.
2. No Alcohol or Caffeine (24–48 Hours Before)
Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine, as they can increase bruising and swelling.
3. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support healing and collagen production.
4. Avoid Dental Work (2 Weeks Before & After)
Dental procedures can introduce bacteria and increase infection risk.
5. No Intense Exercise (24 Hours Before)
Avoid vigorous workouts, saunas, or anything that increases blood flow right before your appointment.
6. Arrive with Clean Skin
Avoid wearing makeup, moisturiser, or skincare on the treatment area.
7. Plan for Recovery Time
Most people experience mild swelling and bruising, so avoid scheduling important events for at least a week after treatment.
-
After your PDO Skin Tightening Threads treatment, proper care is essential to help your skin heal, achieve the best results, and avoid complications. Here’s what you should do:
1. Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area (24–48 Hours)
Don’t touch, massage, or apply pressure to the treated area. This helps the threads settle and reduces the risk of infection.
2. No Intense Exercise (48 Hours)
Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that increase your heart rate and cause excessive sweating, as this can put pressure on the threads and cause swelling.
3. Avoid Heat (48 Hours)
Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, or anything that generates excessive heat, as it can increase swelling and affect the threads.
4. Sleep on Your Back (First Few Nights)
Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated (use extra pillows) to avoid putting pressure on the treated area, especially in the first few nights.
5. No Facial Treatments (2 Weeks)
Avoid facials, chemical peels, or other invasive treatments for at least two weeks to allow the threads to fully settle and integrate into the skin.
6. Avoid Alcohol & Blood Thinners (48 Hours)
Refrain from consuming alcohol or taking blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for at least 48 hours to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
7. Mild Swelling & Bruising (Normal)
Expect some swelling, redness, and bruising, which should start to subside within a few days to a week. If swelling persists or worsens, contact your provider.
8. Gentle Skin Care
Use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants around the treated area. Stick to mild cleansers and moisturisers.
9. Avoid Smoking (As Much as Possible)
Smoking can interfere with collagen production and slow down healing, so it’s best to avoid it during your recovery period.
10. Follow-Up Appointments
For optimal results, follow-up appointments may be scheduled depending on the treatment plan.
11. Be Patient with Results
The final results of PDO threads can take 2–3 months to fully develop as collagen stimulation occurs.
If you notice severe pain, infection signs (fever, increased redness), or significant swelling after 7 days, contact your provider immediately.
-
After a PDO Skin Tightening Threads treatment, some mild side effects are common and part of the natural healing process. Here's what to expect and what’s considered normal:
1. Mild Swelling and Redness (First Few Days)
You will likely experience some swelling and redness in the treated area, which is normal.
The swelling typically peaks within the first 24–48 hours and should gradually subside over the next week.
2. Bruising (Common, but Mild)
Some mild bruising can occur at the insertion points of the threads.
Bruising is usually mild and fades within 5–10 days.
This can be covered with makeup after 24–48 hours if needed.
3. Feeling of Tightness or Slight Discomfort
It’s normal to feel a tight or firm sensation in the treated area as the PDO threads work to lift and tighten the skin.
There may also be some mild tenderness or soreness at the injection sites.
These sensations should subside in a few days to a week.
4. Visible Lumps or Bumps
It’s normal to feel small bumps or lumps under the skin where the threads were placed.
These should soften and become less noticeable as the threads dissolve and the skin heals, typically within 2–4 weeks.
5. Minimal to Moderate Swelling in the First Week
Swelling may take up to a week to fully subside, and some areas may feel slightly swollen or puffy.
This is typically temporary and should improve as the skin adjusts to the threads.
6. Gradual Improvement in Skin Tone and Tightness
The tightening and lifting effects will become more noticeable as your body stimulates collagen production, typically over 4–6 weeks.
Full results can take 2–3 months to appear as collagen continues to build.
7. Long-Term Results
The effects of PDO threads typically last 6–12 months, depending on individual factors like skin type and the area treated.
After this period, you may need a touch-up treatment to maintain the results.
8. Sensitivity to Movement
In the first few days, excessive facial movement or expressions may feel uncomfortable, as the threads are settling.
Try to limit extreme facial expressions (like wide smiling or frowning) during the early recovery period.
9. Possible Mild Inflammation or Infection (Rare)
Signs of infection include increased pain, redness, or pus at the injection sites.
If these symptoms occur, contact your provider immediately.
It’s important to remember that the results and any side effects vary from person to person, but generally, these effects should subside within a few days to a week.
