Botox & Fillers Post-Care
Botox & Filler Post-Treatment Instructions
- Do not massage, rub or apply pressure to the treated area for 6 hours after treatment
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and drinking alcohol for a few days following treatment
- Do not exercise for 24 hrs
- Apply topical Arnica Montana cream to any areas with redness, bruising or swelling
- Avoid exposure to the sun and cold outdoor activities until redness from treatment disappears
- Do not restart Retinol or Retin-A for 2 days
If You Had Botox Today:
- Stay erect; do not lie down for at least 4 hours
- You may experience occasional tingling sensations
- An immediate headache is common especially, if it is your first botox treatment
- It can take 2-14 days to take full effect. Botox can last 3-4 months
- Makeup can be reapplied after treatment
If You Had Filler Today:
- Avoid kissing, puckering, using a straw, and “lip plumpers”. This can displace the filler material and cause complications
- Immediately apply ice to the area treated with very light pressure to reduce swelling. Ice should be applied for 10-20 minutes and then removed for 10-20 minutes. This cycle can be continued throughout today
- Mild to moderate bruising is very common with fillers. Apply Topical and/or oral Arnica Montana to help with any areas of bruising and/or swelling
- Stay well hydrated can improve results. Filler attracts and binds to water to add volume to the skin
- Avoid facials, peel, micro-dermabrasion, dental treatment, “face down” massages for two weeks. Also, sleep on your back for the next few nights
- If possible, avoid makeup today. Gentle cleansing and moisturizer is fine
- The effect of filler is immediate with full effect in 7 days
