Botox Post Treatment Care

Congratulations on your Botox treatment at Total Anti-Aging and Wellness!

To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, please follow these post-care instructions:

Avoid Touching or Rubbing
Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 6 hours following your Botox injection. This helps prevent the spread of the toxin to unintended muscles.

Stay Upright
Maintain an upright position for at least 6 hours after treatment. Avoid lying down or engaging in strenuous exercise during this time to prevent the migration of Botox to unintended areas.

Avoid Heat
Refrain from exposure to excessive heat, including sunbathing, hot tubs, saunas, or intense exercise, for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Heat can increase blood flow to the treated area, potentially causing swelling or bruising.

Limit Alcohol Consumption
Minimize alcohol intake for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Alcohol can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.

Be Gentle with Skincare
Avoid aggressive facial massages, peels, or treatments in the treated area for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Gentle cleansing and moisturizing are recommended.

Avoid Blood Thinning Medications
Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) for 24-48 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Expect Mild Side Effects
It’s normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Applying ice packs intermittently can help alleviate swelling or discomfort.

Patience is Key
Botox typically takes 7-14 days to fully take effect. Be patient and allow the treatment to work its magic.
