The Science of Recovery
Injections of neuromodulators and dermal fillers have transformed the way we age. But they are often accompanied by unwanted temporary imperfections and irritation.
Viktor Michael is formulated exclusively to minimize the appearance of these imperfections, to reduce downtime, and to promote the long-term radiance of skin throughout the injection cycle, from pre-treatment through post-injection and maintenance.

Ready
The week prior to treatment is an important time of preparation. In order to minimize post-injection symptoms, it’s helpful to reduce the risk of blood thinning throughout the body. This includes avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen and alcohol, as these inhibit platelet function. It’s also recommended to pause all non-prescription supplements like fish oil, vitamin E and garlic supplements. While beneficial in so many ways, these nutrients can increase the potential for bleeding and bruising. Begin adding Hidden Agenda Injection Care Serum to your daily skin ritual. The active enzymes, acids and phytoactives found in Arnica, Bromelain, Dragon’s Blood and Babassu will help prepare skin for the procedure, and our relaxing essential oil blend will help calm pre-injection jitters.
Recover
Depending on the type and location of injection, skin may feel sensitive to the touch immediately, and up to several days, post-procedure. While this is normal, there are ways to reduce skin sensitivity, swelling, redness and general discomfort. First, avoid direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, drinking, smoking and flying. These activities can affect cellular hydration, circulation and increase inflammation. Use icepacks to reduce tenderness and puffiness. A few hours following injection treatment, apply Hidden Agenda Injection Care Serum to cleansed, dry skin. Reapply to the entire face, or as a spot treatment, every 3-4 hours. The phytoactive properties found in our proprietary complex will continue to reduce irritation for a more even skin tone.
Regenerate
In the week following treatment, skin may return to normal with ease, as is the case for 80% of patients. But in the event of ongoing irritation, it’s imperative to continue your post-injection care ritual. This not only helps reduce post-injection imperfections more quickly, but it supports skin health.
For the 7-10 days post-procedure, continue to use Hidden Agenda Injection Care Serum daily, and Ciao For Now Injection Care Mask 2-3 times per week, as directed.
