Botox Care Instructions

After Your Treatment

• Do not massage or apply pressure on the treated area for 6 to 8 hours after treatment
• Do not lie down for 3 hours after treatment
• Avoid rigorous exercise, extensive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages on treatment day
• Avoid facials and saunas for 24 hours after treatment
• Try to exercise your treated muscles for 2 hours after treatment. For example, practice frowning, raising your eyebrows, and squinting
• This helps work the Botox into your muscles.
• Headaches may occur. We recommend tylenol if you need something.
• If you develop a bruise, it will fade like any other bruise in about a week. If you have redness, it may last 1 to 2 days.
• Your treatment may take up to 14 days to take full effect although many people will see results in a few days.
• You may apply makeup as usual.
• If you have any swelling, you may use cold compresses 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off as needed.
