I don't restrict any skin care after these procedures. I tell patients not to manipulate the areas I treated with fillers for a few days if possible, but nothing with regards to the skin regimen. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
In general, it is ok to resume your skincare routine after treatment with Botox as long as you keep the following things in mind: 1) Be careful to avoid putting any pressure on the are where the Botox was administered2) Avoid lying down for up to four hours after the treatmentI would recommend contacting your injector, as he.she may have specific guidelines for you to follow. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
The key is, you dont want to apply pressure and move the injection around. As long as you are genlte and do your best not to disturb anything that was injected, you'll be fine. Dr B
You can definitely apply creams or lotions after Botox or facial fillers. I tell my patients not to massage the treated area for 72 hours so that you do not affect the results. Sunscreen should be applied daily.
I ask my patients to leave their faces alone for 4 hours after injecting Botox or fillers. After that time, they may continue with their normal cleansing and moisturizing after Botox treatment, but should avoid anti-aging products, massaging or exfoliating for 1 to 2 days after fillers to prevent any irritation.

Use a gentle cleanser and avoid lots of manipulation of an area immeadiately after having filler. But: it is ok to cleanse your face and apply lotion.
I ask that people maybe avoid harsh exfoliants or retin-A after injections only because they can be irritating. It won't harm you or the efficacy, but it might irritate your skin. In general it's fine to follow your normal skincare regimen after Botox and fillers.

This is a good question. There is potential that an increase in sweat may cause the Botox to wear off faster, however, I do not believe that there would be a very significant change in the length of time it would last. It is important for your overall health to continue to exercise regularly, so...
When you do not use your muscles, they begin to relax and become smaller, a term called atrophy. It is likely that your masseter muscles may reduce in size if you were to decrease excessive chewing, like with gum. However, as you require your masseter muscles for chewing food, it is not possible...
Botox can relax the frown muscle so the skin won't bend but the existing crack in the skin will only improve by filling it, so combination of Botox and filler is the best for optimal improvement. Filler injection would be safe if injected very superficial.
Generally, the maximal results from a Botox treatment are not seen until 14 days post-procedure. However, by 11 days, you should see most of the effectiveness. 15 units of Botox to treat a frown area in a male is likely too low, as men usually have stronger muscles that require higher doses than...
To answer your question, which I am often asked by patients who have been seeing me for years but decided to try another provider after seeing a discount, I will enclose a recent newsletter I shared with my patients on this important topic. Hope you find this to be helpful.What is Botox...
