AFTER CARE

  • Any bumps or marks caused by the injections should disappear within a few hours of treatment.
  • Try to exercise your muscles a little for the first few hours after treatment (eg practise frowning, raising eyebrows and squinting).  This will help the botulinum toxin work into your muscles. However, do not make very extreme facial expressions.
  • Do not rub or massage treated areas for 48 hours after treatment. After washing treated areas, pat very gently with a soft towel.
  • Do not bend excessively, or lie down for at least 4 hours after treatment
  • It is recommended you do not engage in strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment, to stop Botox migration. 
  • Avoid wearing make up for 12 hours after treatment. Avoid facials or face massages for 2 weeks post treatment.
  • Try to avoid exposure to strong sunlight or saunas for two weeks after treatment
  • Botulinum toxins normally takes an average of 2 to 3 days to start working, although the full effects may take a little longer. The speed of action depends on the strength of the muscles injected and your individual response.
  • Remember that treatment is not permanent. To maintain the effects of Botulinum toxin treatments should be repeated approximately 2-3 times per year.
