After a Botox procedure, refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area to prevent the spread of the neurotoxin, which could lead to undesired effects like a drooped eyelid or brow.
Lying down immediately after Botox can potentially cause the product to migrate to unintended areas. Schedule your appointment earlier in the day or avoid lying down for at least four hours post-treatment.
To prevent migration of Botox, sleep on your back the night after treatment and consider using an extra pillow for elevation.
Refrain from vigorous exercise or activities that increase blood flow for the first 24 hours post-Botox to minimize swelling, bruising, and potential spread of the product.
Drinking alcohol shortly after Botox can cause flushed areas, swelling, and increased risk of migration. Opt for hydrating beverages instead.
Steer clear of blood thinning medications or supplements before and after your Botox treatment to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding and bruising.
Wait at least 30 minutes to one hour, preferably 24 hours, after Botox before applying makeup to reduce the risk of infection and complications.
Refrain from washing your face or booking facial treatments for at least one hour after Botox to avoid pushing the neurotoxin into unintended muscles, which could increase the risk of eyelid drooping.
