Recovery from injectables like wrinkle filler or Botox?

Before getting an injection like Botox or a wrinkle filler I wanted to know:  what will it take to recover from the injection?

  • Make certain you have soft, flexible, cool compresses available for the first 24 hours after treatment.
  • It is important that you not exert yourself with exercise or any activity that can increase your blood pressure in the first 24 hours after treatment. This can increase the potential for swelling and bruising.
  • Have a good, rub-proof, sweat-proof non-irritating concealer or camouflage make-up available to touch up any discoloration after treatment.
  • Needle sticks may bleed a bit after treatment. You may apply an antibiotic ointment to the treated region.
