At least 24 hours. Early manipulation of the face risks migration of the Botox and complication.
I would recommend waiting 24 hours post Botox injection before any manipulation to the face. Best of Luck,
Botox injections are fabulous for treating the wrinkles around the forehead and around the eyes. After waiting a few days you can proceed with any other facial injection or treatment. For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist who has a great deal of experience with Botox and facial injections.
You may have microcurrent 24 hours after receiving Botox injections. This is more than enough time after having the Botox to safely have a procedure.
Dear Miss Lofty:I advise my patients to wait 1 hour or longer prior to bending or physical activities and 24 hours prior to any massage or facial procedures following the injection of Botox.All the best!
It is generally recommended to wait 24 hours after botox injection before doing any facial procedure.
Miss Lofty,While I am not implying that microcurrent facial treatments are safe and effective, there is no reason that they need to be avoided after Botox treatments. However, swelling may limit current passage, so waiting a day or two may be prudent in the areas of Botox injection. I hope that this helps.Best wishes, Tom DeWire, MD, FACS Richmond, VA
We recommend not having any facial treatments for 24 hours after Botox. After that, you are fine to do any facials, microcurrents, etc. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
It would be worth further investigation before having another Botox treatment. Contact Allergan and speak to a representative who may be able to shed more light on the topic. Best,
Botox takes up to 2 weeks to see the full effects. Over the 2 weeks you will see changes taking place. If you have any concerns follow up with your injector to discuss concerns. Best,
You may want to consider having a filler treatment done to lift the corners of your mouth, instead of Botox, as it will not affect your ability to smile.
You should apply a cool compress to reduce bruising or swelling. Also, for about a week or two before and after your treatment, medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen and St. John's Wort should be avoided, along with alcohol consumption. Avoid working out the day or two before your treatment.
You should seek an in person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to determine whether it is suitable for you. Also, you will need approval for a parent/guardian.
Thank you for your question. Schedule a consultation with a neurologist to discuss the use of Botox for this purpose. Best,
