When you choose Project Skin MD for your Botox treatment, we have several steps we recommend patients follow prior to their appointment.
The week before:
24 to 48 hours before:
Abstaining from these items is important, as they can all increase your risk of swelling, bruising, or discomfort following your Botox treatment.
During your personalized consultation, inform your physician of the medications you’re taking, and they will ask questions regarding your medical history that may affect the treatment.
Apart from a few exceptions, you can return to the majority of your regular daily activities immediately after your Botox treatment.
We recommend that you avoid rubbing or pressing on the treatment area for 12 hours after your appointment to prevent additional discomfort associated with receiving Botox injections. Potential side effects that you might experience include:
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after their Botox treatment. During the appointment, the needles used are very fine and tend to have a minimal, if any, feeling. You may experience a small pinching sensation, and if you are concerned about this feeling, we can numb your skin beforehand.
While you may have minor bruising or swelling after your treatment, these side effects are expected to go away within a few days.
After your Botox treatment, you should wait between 24 and 48 hours to drink any alcoholic beverages. As alcohol is a blood thinner, it can increase the risk of swelling and bruising after your appointment.
After your Botox treatment, you should wait to exercise for at least 24 hours. Exercise and other strenuous activities raise your blood pressure, which can increase your risk of inflammation and general discomfort after your treatment.
You should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before flying after you receive Botox treatment. The pressure changes that you experience when on an airplane can make your Botox migrate to other parts of the body, so waiting before you do will give it time to settle. The longer you can wait, the better.
You should wait between 3 to 4 hours before lying down after you receive Botox treatment. If you lay down too soon after treatment, the injection may spread or migrate and cause unwanted side effects outside of the treatment area.
Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours after your Botox treatment, as foreign substances can increase the risk of infection, redness, swelling, and overall discomfort. You can, however, cleanse and wash your face during this time period.
