- Aim to schedule your session 1-2 weeks prior to significant events to reduce the chance of bruising or swelling.
- Arnica supplements, taken one week ahead, can aid in bruising prevention.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinners like Aspirin and Omega 3 supplements 5-7 days before your appointment, following your physician's advice.
- For those with a history of cold sores, consider antiviral treatment before undergoing procedures around the mouth to prevent outbreaks.
- If feeling ill or with an active infection, please reschedule with at least 24-hour notice.
- Reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding heavy physical activity and alcohol consumption 24 hours before your treatment.

- Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas until the next day. Avoid any facial treatments, lasers, or massages for a week.
- Avoid lying down for 6-8 hours post-treatment to prevent affecting treated areas.
- Postpone makeup application on treated areas for 24 hours, except when using Dermaceutic K Ceutic recovery cream, which is safe post-treatment and aids in healing.

- Avoid heat treatments like saunas and tanning for 48 hours.
- Skip exfoliating products for four days post-treatment.
- Use Paracetamol for any discomfort, avoiding blood thinners for 48 hours to reduce bruising/swelling risks.
- Bruising, if it occurs, is usually minor and temporary. Arnica and bruise-eze cream can help expedite healing.
- Delay invasive skin procedures like needling, lasers, peels, and facial tattoos for two weeks.
- Full effects develop between 4-14 days, with optimal results at two weeks. If concerns arise, contact Mel Hornery Cosmetics for a follow-up. Adjustments and additional treatments may incur extra costs. Follow-up appointments should occur within four weeks of the initial session.

Arrival Protocol: Please arrive without makeup and refrain from alcohol, smoking, and intense physical activity on the day. Reschedule if feeling under the weather, ensuring you've eaten and are hydrated to avoid dizziness.
Not suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have open sores, or are experiencing an active infection. Considerations include recent antibiotic use, upcoming overseas travel, or unmanaged health conditions like diabetes.
Through strategic application of muscle relaxants, we aim to sculpt the jawline, focusing on the masseter muscle to alleviate its bulkiness and reduce symptoms of grinding, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Muscle relaxants significantly mitigate bruxism and its associated discomforts, like headaches and jaw pain, by relaxing overactive muscles responsible for grinding and clenching.
The specific amount of units needed varies per individual, determined during a comprehensive consultation based on muscle strength. The average ranges from 20 to 44 units, tailored to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Results begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effectiveness visible after about two weeks. Results typically last a few months, with maintenance treatments suggested every 3 months for enduring effects.
Complete results are typically seen 2-4 weeks after treatment as the targeted muscles begin to relax. The duration of effects ranges from 3-24 months, influenced by personal factors which will be covered during your consultation. Follow-up appointments are advised for the best outcomes.
Side effects are generally mild and manageable, including potential headaches, slight swelling or bruising, and tenderness. Follow aftercare instructions diligently, and don't hesitate to contact Mel Hornery Cosmetics for any concerns or guidance.
We exclusively use premium, TGA-approved products, ensuring the highest quality for our clients. Specific product details are available during your consultation, in compliance with TGA guidelines.
