Botox/Dysport Post Care
- Keep upright for at least 4 hours after injections. This is very important to minimize migration to unwanted areas leading to undesired results. Avoid lying down, leaning forward, and activities that require bending at the waist.
- For the Botox/Dysport to settle into specific muscles, it is recommended to move/exercise the areas that have been treated (forehead, around the eyes, frown lines, etc.) to “work the Botox/Dysport into the muscles”. Facial exercises are recommended for the first hour following treatment.
- Tiny bumps or pinprick marks at the injection sites should resolve within a few hours. Wait until any pinpoint bleeding, redness, and swelling at the injection sites has subsided before applying makeup. Only use a GENTLE touch to avoid rubbing the treated area.
- In the first 24 hours after injection AVOID exercise or strenuous activities.
- For 14 days following treatment AVOID: facial massaging, microneedling, microdermabrasion, laser or radio frequency treatments, and using any Clarisonic cleaning system. This is very important to minimize migration to unwanted areas leading to undesired results.
- Be patient. Results can take a full 2 to 3 weeks to maximize.
- Botox/Dysport treatment lessens dynamic wrinkles on a temporary basis, usually 2 to 3 months when the recommended dosing is followed. Please maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended by your medical provider for the best long-term outcomes.
