Are Forehead Contouring treatments safe?
All medical procedures carry risks. At Contour Clinics, your cosmetic doctor will discuss these risks as they relate specifically to your individual circumstances during your consultation.
Forehead contouring treatments performed at Contour Clinics follow clinical best practices and professional standards. Our doctors use techniques and equipment aimed at supporting patient safety and comfort, with the goal of achieving balanced, natural-looking results.
Individual outcomes, risks, and experiences may vary, and your clinician will discuss these thoroughly during your consultation.
Can I Get Forehead Contouring Treatments While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Forehead contouring treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as a precaution to ensure the safety of both mother and baby. At Contour Clinics, patient safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we advise postponing cosmetic treatments until after you have finished breastfeeding. For personalised guidance tailored to your situation, please contact our clinic to arrange a complimentary consultation. Our doctors will discuss suitable treatment options and appropriate timing based on your individual circumstances.
Do Forehead Contouring Treatments Hurt?
Forehead contouring treatments are typically very well-tolerated, and most patients describe only minimal discomfort during the procedure. At Contour Clinics, your comfort is our top priority. Before treatment, we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible. We also offer additional comfort measures, such as nitric oxide if clinically indicated, to further promote comfort.
Our experienced doctors use techniques designed specifically to reduce discomfort, maintain strict hygiene standards and improve safety. You may feel slight pressure or minor sensations during the treatment, but significant pain is uncommon. Your Contour Clinics doctor will talk you through each step and ensure you feel relaxed, informed, and comfortable at all times.
What Precautions Should I Take Before My Forehead Contouring Treatment?
Taking the right precautions before your forehead contouring treatment can greatly enhance your comfort, safety, and results. At Contour Clinics, we recommend the following guidelines:
-
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for at least 7 days before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Do not cease any prescribed medication before speaking with your General practitioner or specialist medical practitioner.
-
Minimise alcohol consumption 24–48 hours prior, as alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
-
Stay hydrated and maintain good skin hygiene, as this helps optimise healing and outcomes.
-
Inform your clinician if you have any active skin infections, allergies, or recent illnesses, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
During your complimentary consultation at Contour Clinics, your clinician will provide personalised pre-treatment advice tailored specifically to your individual situation and treatment goals.
