Aesthetic Aftercare

 Here are some aftercare tips for Botox injections: 

• Avoid touching the treated area: Don't rub, massage, or put pressure on the treated area for at least 12 hours.  
• Stay upright: Avoid bending or lying down for at least three to four hours after treatment.  
• Avoid strenuous activity: Avoid physical exertion for at least 24 hours after treatment.  
• Avoid heat and sun: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and tanning for at least four hours after treatment. Also, wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ when going outside.  Avoid sun exposure for at least 4 hours. The heat can promote flushing and increase your blood pressure, which may encourage bruising. To be extra safe, avoid the sun for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol for at least 24 hours after treatment. Alcohol thins the blood and widens blood vessels, which can increase the chance of bruising.  
• Avoid makeup: Wait until any redness has subsided before applying makeup over treated areas.  
• Use ice packs: To reduce swelling, you can hold a cool compress or an ice pack wrapped in a towel to your injection site for up to 10 minutes at a time.  
• Avoid facial treatments such as chemical peels, massages, dermal fillers, and laser treatment for two weeks. Botox needs time to settle and provide the desired results.
• Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours after the treatment to prevent spreading the neurotoxin to other areas. 

Take Anti-Bruising Supplements may be take before & after your treatment. The following supplements may prevent bruising and swelling, but we advise that you check with your doctor first before adding to your regimen:

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin K
• Arnica
• Bromelain

Eating foods rich in antioxidants (e.g., berries, pineapple, kale, spinach, etc.) can also help reduce bruising. 

 A few of the steps you should take after your dermal filler appointment include the following:

Staying hydrated is crucial after your first dermal filler appointment. Drinking a lot of water helps your body heal after dermal filler injections, which enables you to see results sooner.

After your first dermal filler appointment, you may have some facial swelling and soreness. If our team says it's okay, you can apply ice to the treatment site to ease discomfort and control inflammation.

Taking specific pain medication is okay if you feel discomfort after getting dermal fillers. Ask the team first, though, as you want to avoid anything that thins out your blood, which could lead to significant bruising.

Keeping your head elevated helps to reduce swelling associated with dermal fillers. Stay elevated for the first 24 hours to promote healing and keep inflammation to a minimum.

Just as there are steps you should take after your dermal filler injection, there are also things you should avoid. Our team advises you on what you shouldn't do after your dermal filler appointment, including:

You mustn't sleep on your face for the first day or so after getting dermal fillers. Putting pressure on your face can worsen swelling and bruising after your appointment.

You want to ensure you allow your skin to heal after receiving dermal fillers. Avoid applying makeup to your face or lips for at least 24 hours after your appointment to avoid complications.

Something else you should avoid for at least 24 hours after you get dermal fillers is strenuous exercise or physical activity. These activities increase your blood pressure, exacerbating bruising and swelling around the injection sites.

After your dermal filler appointment, you want to avoid any hot and humid place. For example, don't rush to the sauna or a hot tub right after your treatment. The high heat makes swelling in your face a lot worse.
