Washing and applying cosmetics after Botox for Migraines? 1 day post op.

Question

I got my first treatment of botox for chronic migraines yesterday. I am seeing a lot of information on aftercare for cosmetic botox, but feel that botox for migraines may be different (more injections, multiple sites). My main concern is showering (washing hair and face) and applying cosmetics. How long should I wait before doing both?

You can apply cosmetics, wash face, hair, etc. after Botox for migraines. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. Hope this helps.

I recommend following up with your injector about after care following your Botox treatment. It should be fine to apply cosmetics and wash your hair/face after your treatment. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

At one day post treatment it is fine to shower normally as well as put on cosmetics.  Do not put heavy pressure or vigorously massage the treated areas.  Regular exercise routines can resume the day after injections as well.  Contact your provider for more information.

We typically tell patients that after botox injections, it is safe to put on makeup right away! However, we recommend against aggressive facial massages including facials and really hard scrubbing for the first couple of days. I hope the injections work well for you!
As always, contact your practitioner with questions.

Gentle cleansing and application of skin care products and cosmetics are not a problem. One wants to be careful not to use a tight fitting helmet or goggles, electric facial brush such as Clarisonic, engage in downward yoga positions, have a massage or chiropractic visit for 3-5 days after injections. Hoping the best for you!

It would be similar aftercare for botox for migraines. You can most definitely wash your face and hair now.
