What to Expect After Botox

When it comes to botox, most people are totally unaware that aftercare is just as important as the pre-treatment preparations even on dentistry side. Although the procedure is relatively simple, there are side-effects related to the use of botox, therefore patients should take proper care to ensure that healing takes place quickly and completely.

 

Doctors generally advise patients to avoid rubbing their face for any reason for up to 4 hours after treatment, and that includes getting a facial massage. Rubbing the treatment area could potentially cause the botox to migrate from the area it was injected in. However, if you are planning a facial massage, be sure to consult with your injector ahead of time.

After treatment patients are also advised not to sleep on their face. The effects of doing this are similar to what could happen if you massage your face, as the botox may move away from the targeted areas.

 

Strenuous activity and exercising should also be avoided for at least 24 hours after injections. This is because strenuous activity can increase blood flow to the face, and the increased circulation could shift botox away from the injection site. This could potentially decrease the results of treatment.

 

The aftercare instructions related to botox are few, but they are designed to ensure that the product gets a chance to settle evenly so that patients get optimal results. It’s best to play it safe, as this will minimize any possible risks. That’s why doctors recommend that patients take it easy for the first few hours after treatment. However, aftercare recommendations may vary among providers, so it’s best to adhere to the specific instructions of your dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
