Immediately After Treatment
- Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal — This should subside within a few hours.
- Stay upright for at least 4 hours — Avoid lying down or bending forward to prevent product migration.
- Gently contract treated muscles — Lightly move the injected areas (e.g., raise eyebrows, frown) to help distribute the neurotoxin evenly.
- Drink plenty of water — Staying hydrated supports optimal healing.
First 24 Hours
- Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated areas — This prevents Botox or Dysport from spreading to unintended areas.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating — No intense workouts, hot yoga, saunas, or steam rooms.
- No makeup or facial treatments — Give your skin time to heal.
- Use a cold compress if needed — Apply gently for 10-minute intervals to reduce swelling or discomfort.
First 3-7 Days
- Results will gradually appear within 3-5 days — Full effects develop in about 10-14 days.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications if possible — This helps reduce the risk of bruising.
- No facials, microneedling, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks — Let the neurotoxin settle properly.
Maintaining Your Results
- Schedule regular treatments every 3-4 months — This helps maintain smooth, youthful skin.
- Use medical-grade skincare — Anti-aging products can enhance and prolong your results.
- Always wear SPF 30+ sunscreen — Sun damage accelerates aging and affects your skin's appearance.
