Allergic Reaction to Botox...When Will the Symptoms Go Away???

I received Botox for the second time for my face and 3 days later was covered in hives, a sunburn like itchy burning rash over my torso, neck, chest and hands. The first botox treatment caused no such reaction. My Dr. put me on prednisone for a 10 day treatment. It has now been over 9 days since the botox, 6 days since being on the prednisone, and I am still itchy with hives that come and go. There are no hives on my face where I received the botox. When will this go away!!!

A: Botox reaction

It is very rare to get a reaction from Botox. In fact, I have been treating patients with Botox for 15 years and have not heard of any problems like this from Botox. It is more likely the hives are from something else. You might add an anti-histamine and see a Dermatologist for  a more thorough evaluation.

How Long After Dysport Can I Proceed with my Heavy Workouts which Include Lost of Sweating?

How long should I wait to do conitnue with my heavy work outs (lots & lots of sweating) after being injected with Dysport for crowsfeet and between eyes?

A: Exercise after Botox or Dysport

I like my patients to remain upright for 4 hours after their injections. I also prefer they not work out the remainder of the day. They can work out before their treatnment, but I treat this as a procedure and prefer they postpone a vigorous work out until the next day.

What else helps besides cold after Juvederm around the mouth?

A: Swelling and Bruisung after filler injections

First of all, avoiding aspirin , anti-inflammatories and vitamin E 2 weeks prior to the treatments help diminsh bruising. We use cold packs in the office after the treatments.  I also offer Arnica pills and an anti-bruise cream (Arnica based cream) for home use after the treatments.
