Botox is a quick and effective way to minimize facial wrinkles while still looking natural.
What To Expect After Your Botox Treatment
? Injection sites can be red and swollen immediately after injections but should resolve quickly
? As with all injections, bruising can occur and may take 1-2 weeks to disappear. Arnica gel is an over the counter product that may help diminish bruises.
? The effects of Botox are not immediate and will take 3-5 days to start working and up to 2 weeks to see the full effect. The best outcomes with Botox depend on adequate dosing. Please consider the dosing recommendations given by your Provider.
? It is normal to experience a headache after receiving Botox. If needed, you may take Tylenol for any headaches or discomfort as long as you do not have any allergies to Tylenol.
? A medical grade skincare regimen is recommended to maintain and enhance your results. Our favorite products include SkinBetter LINES and SkinBetter AlphaRet.
? Be sure to call and schedule your next appointment once you see your muscles beginning to gain movement again.
For the best results, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:
? Do NOT lie flat for 4 hours after your Botox treatment
? Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for the remainder of the day
? Do NOT apply make-up or skin care products for 12 hours
? DO NOT take Ibuprofen, aspirin or vitamin E for 24 hours to prevent further bruising
