I plan on getting Botox in the early afternoon. Would it be fine, by nightfall, to take a hot shower (my usual routine)? Also, how do you recommend cleansing the face after Botox? In the sink or shower okay? Also, is warm water okay? Please advise. Thanks.

Answer: Botox Injections Great question! There are no studies that have shown one way or another that post treatment activities like washing your face are safe or harmful. In my practice we usually tell patients that it's safe to wash your face after Botox injections.Warm water is fine and using a gentle cleanser is also not a problem. There are however always exceptions to the rule; for instance if you have had significant amount of Botox and filers you may receive different post-injection instructions from your physician. Botox injections are generally very safe, so my patients are normally able to resume their daily routines immediately.

Answer: Getting Ready for Botox Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. The product temporarily blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles; reducing the activity in these muscles thus decreasing the appearance of lines/wrinkles. Cleansing your face on the day of treatment will in no way affect the outcome of your treatment.#Botoxtreatments #afterBotox #skinafterBotox
