What Are the Post Treatment Instructions After Botox?

Botox is meant to temporarily block the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles; reducing the
activity in these muscles thus decreasing the appearance of lines/wrinkles.
Cleansing your face on the day of treatment will in no way affect the outcome
of your treatment . We recommend avoiding any direct pressure to the brow
such as visors, massage tables and cleansing brushes for 1 week. #Botoxaftercare    #expectationsofBotox  #BotoxAfterCare

I don't have any specific post botox instructions. I say thanks for coming in, enjoy it. have fun! In the past, people have had instructions such as don't lie down for 4 hours, Don't excericise, don't go on a flight etc. All of these have been proven to be unnecessary. For instance, botox doesn't migrate if you lie down after injection. Hope that helps.

It would be good to resist exercising immediately after Botox as the Botox could be metabolized before it is able to diffuse to the treated area, causing the treatment to be less effective. For the first 4 hours after treatment it is good to refrain from lying down, and for 24 hours after treatment it is good to refrain from exercise. If you’re a regular gym attendee, maybe schedule your injections a few hours after your daily gym exercise, and have the following day be your rest day for that week. For specific recommendations for you, seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to receive Botox injections, or injections of any other type.

I always suggest the following to my patients after a treatment -
No exercise for 24 hours after surgery
No lying down for at least 4 hours after treatment No rubbing the treatment area e.g don’t have a facial straight after your botox treatment
No laser or invasive treatments in the area for 1-2 weeks depending on the type of treatment.
Don’t have a top up with botox until you have reached the 2 week post injection time frame. It’s important to see what results you can achieve with the initial injection. This way you don’t risk over treating, which could cause ptosis in the area

Thank you for your question about botox.  Following your treatment, our office recommends taking it easy for the rest of the day.  We also discourage patients from wearing a hat or helmet.  It is important not to massage the injection sites.  Make up can be applied at the office following treatment.  Keep in mind taking Ibuprofen can increase bleeding and bruising.
To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Thanks for this great question.I ask my patients to avoid medications such as motrin, advil or aspirin 1 week prior to botox treatment.Also, fish oil and omega 3 pills and vitamin E thin the blood.Avoid lying down or bending down for 4 hours and exercising for one day.Hope this is helpful.Best,Dr Sajjdain
