After Botox Treatment

  • Avoid Touching the Area
    Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours to avoid spreading the Botox to unintended areas.
  • Stay Upright
    Remain in an upright position (no lying down) for at least 4 hours after treatment to ensure proper absorption.
  • Avoid Strenuous Activity
    Refrain from strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or bending over for 24 hours after your treatment. This helps prevent the Botox from migrating to other areas.
  • Avoid Heat Exposure
    Avoid hot tubs, saunas, sunbathing, or any exposure to heat for 24 hours. Heat can increase the risk of bruising at the injection site.
  • Bruising and Swelling
    Mild bruising and swelling at the injection site are normal and should subside within a few days. You can apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid Alcohol
    Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours after your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
  • Facial Movements
    Gently move the treated areas by smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows for the first few hours after treatment. This helps Botox settle into the muscles.
  • Results
    Botox results usually become noticeable within 3-7 days. Full effects may take up to 14 days. If you have any concerns or if results are uneven, contact us for a follow-up.
