Botox® and Xeomin® Aftercare

After Care Instructions

• Do not touch the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This helps prevent the spread of the Botox® or Xeomin® to unintended areas.
• Do not lie down for at least 4 hours after the treatment. This helps to prevent pressure on the treated areas and reduces the risk of accidentally rubbing the area.
• Refrain from engaging in strenuous physical activities, such as intense workouts, for at least 4 hours. This can help prevent increased blood flow to the face, which may cause the Botox® or Xeomin® to move.
• Avoid facials, massages, or other facial treatments for at least 4 hours after the procedure
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and saunas for 4 hours to minimize the risk of skin irritation and optimize recovery. If outdoors, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen.

Additional Tips

• If you experience any post-procedure swelling or discomfort, consider using cool compresses on the treated areas. This can help soothe the skin and reduce inflammation.
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as adequate hydration is essential for skin recovery. Moisturize the treated areas after 24 hours.

Follow Up Appointment

• This ensures we are able to see how your facial muscles responded to your treatment dosage and make any adjustments to the result at an additional cost. Alternatively, additional product may not be required.

Long-Term Care and Maintenance 

• Follow-Up Appointments:
  • Attending scheduled follow-up appointments is important to assess results and discuss any concerns.

• Additional Treatments:
  • Consistency with Botox® and Xeomin® treatments helps to maintain optimal results after 3-4 months. It is also common to combine Botox® and Xeomin® with other treatments such as dermal fillers, as this may provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

• Lifestyle Factors:
  • The lasting effect of Botox® or Xeomin® is dependent on certain lifestyle factors. For example, smoking, alcohol, and stress decrease the effect, whereas staying hydrated and maintain a balanced diet help to optimize overall skin health.

• Regular Skin Care Routine:
  • To optimize results, it is important to maintain a healthy skin care routine including cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. Ask us about our medical-grade skin care products selected by our dermatologist to suit your needs.
