The outcome of a treatment does not depend only on the injection: what you do afterwards matters too. These are general guidelines; always follow the specific instructions your doctor gives you.
After Botox
- Avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area during the first hours.
- Skip intense exercise and extreme heat for the first 24 hours.
- Stay upright for about 4 hours; avoid lying face down that night.
- You may apply makeup gently after a few hours, as advised.
After fillers
- Some swelling and occasionally small bruises for a few days are normal.
- Apply gentle cold if advised, without pressing.
- Avoid sauna, intense heat and strong exercise for 24–48 hours.
- Do not massage the area unless your doctor tells you to.
