Palm Springs Botox doctors

We don’t recommend extensive exercise after Botox injections. i.e. straining or even facials for at least six hours after injections. Exercise will not decrease the results; you just don’t want any manipulation of the injected areas that could potentially lead to the Botox migrating or spreading out further than where you want it.

Botox is averaged by the FDA to last “up to” three months. Everyone’s body is different and the strength of your muscles will determine how long Botox will last. The stronger your muscle, the more you will need. In my practice, we always schedule follow-up appointments two weeks after the initial procedure to make sure the product has reached it maximum effect. Then when the patient needs more, we will tailor their injected amount based on how long the product lasted. Unfortunately for most people, it is very hard to determine how much Botox you will need until you have established a good maintenance regimen and this may take up to three visits before getting it right. It is important to understand the factors which influence the length of time the product will last. Again, these factors include: dosage amount and strength of muscles. For some patients, we may recommend maybe trying Dysport as it can last a bit longer in some patients.

First of all, there is no way that the Botox can cause a new line to form and especially after one day. You may notice it because you are paying closer attention to your face now and have not noticed that line before. At Contour Dermatology, that is why we take photos before we do any procedure, cosmetic or medical, because patients tend to forget what they “really” look like.  Finally, it does take one week or so for the Botox to kick in, so be patient and wait the week or so.  If you still don’t see any results, then go back to visit the injector.
