Botox After Care

If necessary, dab at (but do not rub) injection sites. You may experience some bruising at these injection sites. You may cover these with make-up.   Following Botox injections, "SCRUNCH" the targeted muscles several times for the rest of the day. This helps the Botox get into the affected muscles.

Do not workout or do strenuous activity for the remainder of the day.  Do not lay down for  4 to 6 hours after your Botox treatment .  Most people begin to see results within 2-3 days, however, it is not unusual for it to take a week to 10 days.  Do not expect to see results immediately following injection.

If you continue to have function in the muscle after 10 days, contact our office to schedule an appointment.  Dermatech Inc. is not responsible for the follow up treatment after 10 days.

 The Botox effect should last 6 to 8 weeks, however, this is per the individual. Generally, the more you have Botox, the longer you can go between treatments as the affected muscles begin to atrophy. To maintain, you should schedule another treatment when you first notice a return of muscle function. If you wait until you have full return of the function, your results may be sub-optimal.
