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: Post Botox Activities You should be able to return to your normal daily routine, including exercise, cleansing face, showering with hot water, etc. without 1.5 hours. Take care not to stand in the hot shower too long or bump your injection sites so as to minimize bruising or swelling. As long as you are treated by a licensed and trained injector such as a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, you should be fine.

Answer: Botox Aftercare Thank you for your question, cici99fromcali! You would be fine to take a shower and wash your face, either in the sink or the shower, the night of your treatment.

Answer: Instructions after Botox These are excellent questions. You should feel free to continue your normal cleansing routines as long as you understand the following:After care instructions for Botox are designed to further minimize the already small chance of bruising: avoid aspirin and ibuprofen, heavy exercise and anything else that makes you hot and red (note: a long hot shower or time in the sauna can cause dilation of the vessels).

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.
