BOTOX AND COSMETIC FILLERS AFTERCARE

Do NOT have a facial, nor rub or massage the treated area for the first 24 hours after your treatment unless instructed by your doctor.
Do NOT lie down or do strenuous exercise for three hours after treatment. Also, avoid any exposure to a sauna, hot tub, or tanning for at least 4 days after treatment. Use SPF 30-50. Avoid exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment. This will prevent your blood pressure from rising and thus minimize the risk of bruising after treatment.
Do NOT wash or blow dry the hair for 24 hours after injection on the forehead.
AVOID alcohol for 24-48 hours after treatment.
You may (if instructed by your doctor) exercise your treated muscles for the first hour after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raising your eyebrows, or squinting). This helps to work the treatment into your muscles. Although this may help your procedure outcome, it will NOT impact your treatment negatively if you forget to do this.
Please be aware that some, though very few patients, experience a mild headache. You may take Paracetamol to help with this for pain relief. Avoid aspirin based products, Ibuprofen or Advil for the first 3-4 days.

Be assured that tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours after your treatment. There is a small risk of bruising. If this occurs, do not worry since it will only be temporary and can easily be covered up with makeup. Any little bit of bruising may last up to one week.
After Botox is placed into the targeted muscles, the weakening effect gradually begins anywhere from 3-7 days and is not complete for two weeks. Therefore, optimal results are not seen for at least two weeks
Botox will last approximately 2-3 months at first. However, if you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended, the duration of each treatment result may last longer than four months. The filler will last approximately 6-12 months.
After the filler is injected, you may be bruised, red, or feel some swelling. This will all go down in time and you will feel the full effect of filler in about two weeks.
Occasionally treatment may trigger an acne flare, which resolves in 1-14 days. This may require topical acne treatment, please speak to your doctor if you become concerned.
You may apply cold compresses for 5-10 minutes every 2 hours in case of swelling to the affected areas for Botox.
