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
