Botox post treatment instructions

Botox POST - TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

The guidelines to follow post treatment have been followed for years, and are still employed today

to prevent the possible side effect of ptosis (drooping of the eyelids).  These measures should minimize

the possibility of ptosis.

  • No straining, heavy lifting, vigorous exercise for 3-4 hours following treatment. It is now known that it


takes the toxin approximately 2 hours to bind itself to the nerve to start its work, and because we do no

want to increase circulation to that   area to wash away the Botox® from where it was injected.


  • Avoid manipulation of area for 3-4 hours following treatment. (For the same reasons listed above.)

This includes not doing a facial, peel, or micro-dermabrasion after treatment with Botox®.


  • A facial, peel, or micro-dermabrasion can be done in same day only if they are done

before the Botox®.


  • Facial exercises in the injected areas is recommended for 1-hour following treatment.  This is to

stimulate the binding of the toxin only to the localized area.


  • It can take 2 -10 days to take full effect.  It is recommended that the patient contact the office

no later than 2 weeks after treatment if desired effect was not achieved and no sooner to give

the toxin time to work.

Makeup may be applied before leaving the office.
