BOTOX
What to Do After Botox
1. Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours after treatment.
– This helps prevent the Botox from migrating to other muscles.
2. Gently move the treated muscles (e.g., raise your eyebrows, smile, frown) for a few minutes every hour for the first 4–6 hours.
– This can help the Botox bind to the targeted muscles more effectively.
3. Use a cold compress if you notice mild swelling or bruising.
– Avoid pressing too hard; just gently apply a cool pack.
4. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
– Gentle cleansing is fine, but be very careful around the injection sites.
5. Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup (if possible).
– This reduces the risk of infection or irritation.
What to Avoid After Botox?
1. No touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
– This includes facial treatments or even sleeping face-down.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, or hot tubs for 24–48 hours.
– Heat and increased circulation can make Botox spread and reduce its effectiveness.
3. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications/supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil) for 24–48 hours.
– This helps prevent bruising.
4. Don’t lie down or bend over excessively for about 4 hours post-injection.
5. Avoid other facial treatments (like facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser) for at least 1 week.
