Aftercare advice
​
-
Relax for the rest of the day
-
Sit up/ remain upright for the first 4 hours after getting Botox.
-
Maintain a normal heart rate
-
Avoid steam room and saunas, sunbeds, hot showers for 48 hours
-
Avoid touching, rubbing, or physical pressure on the affected area - no facial treatments for 14 days (facials, scrubs, massages, fillers)
-
leave the treated area alone
-
Take a break from makeup for 24 hours.
-
Applying makeup will rub the skin, potentially dispersing the toxin.
-
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
-
Wait 24 hours to exercise
-
Physical activity increases blood flow. This could potentially spread the toxin to unintended areas and reduce its effectiveness at the injection site. It also increases the risk of bruising.
-
Exercise also contracts your muscles, which may decrease the toxin’s effectiveness.
