Skin Care Products Okay to Use After Juvederm and Botox?

I just got Juvederm and Botox between my eyes and above eyebrows and am scared to even touch the area. Is it ok to wax my eyebrows, use a face mask, cream, etc.? Are there any creams, cleansers, and anything I should avoid using? I am just using soap on the spot. I am so scared to have it go away. I love that my wrinkle is not visible anymore. Pleas help me with this!

Skincare products and waxing after Botox and Juvederm

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the results of your injections. You should be able to go about your usual daily routine including use of face creams and moisturizers. You may want to delay the waxing of the brows until 2 weeks after the injections; the inflammation could theoretically affect the injected products. I would also caution you not press on or massage the area that was injected if you have any inclination to do so as it may spread the Juvederm and Botox that were just... more

Fillers in face

If you just had the injections done within the past few hours, then I would say hold off on massages and waxing until a day later.
