Botox®

For 3 hours following treatment:

  • Do not rub the area that was injected.
  • Do not lay down.

Fillers

For the first 2 weeks:

  • Avoid vigorous manipulation to the area that was injected.
  • Avoid sleeping on your face as much as possible. (of course while you are asleep you have no control over this).
  • In the unlikely event any small lumps develop, they can be massaged to resolution.

Bruising

Bruising can look worse after strenuous exercise, so if you have some bruising you may want to refrain for 1-2 days.

  • Ice, holding a paper towel between the ice pack and the skin off and on in 5 minute increments.
  • Arnica gel (homeopathic bruising remedy) is available over the counter and may help bruising resolve more quickly.
