After BOTOX Cosmetic® Treatment
Please Do
- Enjoy our complimentary make-up "touch-up" at the clinic before you leave.
- If you need to apply makeup within 4 hours of your treatment, use a gentle touch to avoid rubbing the area.
- Try to gently exercise your treated muscles for the first 30 minutes after treatment: practice frowning, raising your eyebrows or squinting. This helps to work Botox Cosmetic® into your muscles. Although this is thought to help, it will not impact your treatment negatively if you forget.
- Feel free to shower and/or continue with other regular daily activities.
- Be assured that any tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours after your treatment.
Please Avoid
- Do not rub or massage the treated area for 24 hours after your treatment.
- Do not do strenuous exercise for 4 hours post-treatment. This will minimize the risk of raising your blood pressure and therefore, reduce the risk of temporary bruising.
- Avoid facials or saunas for 4 hours after your treatment.
- Do not lie down for 4 hours after treatment. This is to avoid the risk of both pressure on the treated area and rubbing the area accidentally.
Treatment Results/Expectations & Follow-up
- The results of your treatment can take up to 14 days to take full effect. Usually patients notice a change in 4-5 days. Please wait until the 14 days have passed before assessing your treatment results.
- We would like to see you for a 2 week follow-up assessment appointment, especially after your first treatment. This will ensure we are able to see how your facial muscles react to your treatments. If you require more product to fine-tune/adjust your treatment results, it will be done at this time at an additional cost. Alternatively, product may not be required.
- Likewise, Lakeshore Vein & Aesthetics Clinic recommends patients have a 3-4 month follow-up appointment so that we can achieve the best results for you. If you allow Botox Cosmetic® to completely wear off, it is difficult for us to be able to see how your individual muscles reacted and therefore optimal results for your face are harder to achieve.
