After Treatment
- 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 3 hours after treatment. Also, avoid any exposure to a sauna, hot tub or tanning for 4 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 24-48 hours after your appointment that may last a few days. You may take Tylenol to help with thisfor 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. - If you have any questions or concerns regarding your recent injections, please contact the front desk.
