Botox Aftercare

Immediately after: 

*Tiny bumps or redness at the injection site - usually resolves within 15-30 minutes

*Possible bruising at or near injection site is not uncommon

*Mild tenderness and swelling are not un-common.

First 24 Hours:

*Avoid pressure to the treatment area- to include but not limited to hats, facials, massages, etc.

*Avoid working out after treatment for 12 hours.

*Although Botox can begin working within first 24 hours - Remember it takes 10-14 days for full effect

Week 3-4:

*Muscle contraction can begin- but by no means should it resemble baseline - if you feel this is happening, reach out to your provider immediately. 

***Longevity of treatment will depend on numerous factors- The dose, patient lifestyle, genetics, etc. 

****To achieve optimal outcome, it is vital to protect your skin and to invest in your skin's integrity.

I recommend Skin Medica's HA5 as a hydrator to be applied 2x a day, a quality Moisturizer, Color Science Flex SPF, and ensure you are helping the cells of your face to turn over - Microneedling, Chemical Peels, Vampire Treatments, Laser, etc.
