Botox & Fillers Aftercare
Try to 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
Do NOT have a facial, nor rub or massage the treated area for 24 hours after your treatment.
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 four hours. This will prevent your blood pressure from rising and thus minimize the risk of bruising after treatment.
Please be aware that some, though very few patients, experience a mild headache. You may take
Tylenol to help with this for pain relief.
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.
Filler will last approximately 6-12 months.
After 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.
