Botox Aftercare Guide

Congratulations on your Botox treatment! To ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects, it’s important to follow proper aftercare. Botox takes time to settle, and how you care for your skin in the first 24 hours can impact your final outcome. Below are some simple guidelines to help you achieve smooth, natural-looking results!

• Do not be afraid to move your muscles. It is best to try to exercise your treated muscles for 1-2 hours after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raise your eyebrows, and squint). This helps to work the product into your muscles. However, you do not want to touch your face or rub your treatment area.
• Stay in a vertical position for 4 hours following injection. Do not rest your head or lie down; sit upright.
• Ice (but avoid firm pressure) for 15 minutes 3 times the day of treatment.
• You may take Acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness/discomfort Do not massage treated areas after treatment.
• After treatment there will be moderate swelling and redness with possibility of bruising. You may apply or take Arnica tablets to help decrease the amount of bruising.
• Avoid extended UV exposure until any redness/swelling has subsided. Apply SPF.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to reduce bruising. You may resume other normal activities/routines immediately.
• Avoid laser, IPL, or skin tightening treatments of the area for a minimum of 24 hours (or as directed by your provider) after injection.
• You may continue your topical products as mentioned above 1 week after injection.
