Answer: Botox recovery Some swelling, redness, discomfort and bruising can appear in the days after your treatment. These go away in a couple of days to a week or so. You should not touch your face in the area treated right afterward and refrain from vigorous physical activity as this can contribute to swelling/bruising. Don't smoke or take any blood thinners. You can go back to a desk job right after your treatment.

Answer: Botox downtime Immediately after botox you might see little red bumps, and depending on the dilution used, the temporary swollen bumps from some physicians is greater than others. This goes away in less than an hour usually. There is a slight chance of bruising. Bruising may take two weeks to go away but you can use makeup almost immediately to cover it. Vitamin K cream may help lessen the bruise and V-beam laser can also lessen the bruise after it occurs. Avoid aspirin and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents such as Motrin also before your procedure to minimize the chance of bruising. Don't bend over at the waist for four hours after Botox or sleep flat on your back in that time. The next day exercise is permitted.
