Botox and Icing Right After Injection?

 Icing the treated area may help the patient feel less discomfort associated with a needle prick and may reduce swelling.  As Botox is injected into the muscle, applying pressure on the area is not going to compromise your results.

Thank you for your question. Botox is injected into the muscle and icing shouldn't affect your result. Icing helps with bruising and for comfort. I would avoid massaging the area. I hope this helps.

Ice packs are used to decrease swelling and bruising. We give each patient a pack to apply after treatment. It wont jeopardize your results but it will hopefully make you feel better. Good luck.

Applying ice following treatment is generally done to minimize swelling, and should not compromise your result. It can also be applied prior to the injections to help minimize any pain associated with the injection itself. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

Thanks for the question. I routinely give my patients a disposable ice pack to decrease swelling after injectables (Botox, fillers, etc.). I discourage them from doing any sort of massage or manipulation of the area, however.
