Neurotoxin Aftercare

Please follow the following aftercare instructions to encourage optimal treatment results. It can also minimize the risk of bruising and spreading to other areas.

• Avoid alcoholic beverages on treatment day.
• Do NOT have a facial, nor rub or massage the treated area for 24 hours after your treatment.
• Do NOT lie down or do strenuous exercise for three hours after treatment. Also, avoid any exposure to a sauna and hot tub for four hours. This will prevent your blood pressure from rising and thus minimize the risk of bruising after treatment.
• Please be aware that some, though very few patients, experience a mild headache. You may take Tylenol to help with this for pain relief.
• Be assured that tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours after your treatment. There is a small risk of bruising. If this occurs, do not worry since it will only be temporary and can easily be covered up with makeup. Any little bit of bruising may last up to one week.
• After the neurotoxin is placed into the targeted muscles, the weakening effect gradually begins anywhere from 3-7 days and is not complete for two weeks. Therefore, optimal results may not be seen for at least two weeks. After 2 weeks, DO call us if you are not completely satisfied with your results.

Follow-Up Treatment

Neurotoxin appointments are ideally scheduled 3 months apart for the first 3 treatments. After that, the interval between appointments can be gradually lengthened depending on the individual. Try to have your next treatment before the results return completely to baseline. This will help you maintain your results longer.
