RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE ALL TREATMENTS

Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising.
Avoiding facial products such as retinoids and exfoliating acids before the treatment to prevent irritation, if your skin is of a sensitive type.
Drink plenty of water and eat regular meals beforehand - if you skip a meal for the appointment, it may increase the risk of feeling dizzy.
Avoid heavy makeup on the area to be treated when attending the appointment, as makeup in the area will need to be removed.
Regular medications - inform the clinician regarding your medications. In most cases you should continue your medication schedule.

Following a Botulinum toxin treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising, which should begin to subside within a few hours.
Bruising, if it occurs, may take up to two weeks to fully resolve.
Arnica tablets or gel can help with this.
It’s possible to experience a mild headache post-treatment, which can be managed as usual.
Results develop gradually over 5-14 days.

Dos & Don'ts

Do not touch or rub the treated area. If the treatment is near the eyes, avoid pressing or pushing towards them.
Avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after treatment.
Do not apply makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Avoid pressure on the treated area for 48 hours (e.g., avoid wearing hats, large headphones, etc.).
Avoid excessive heat for 48 hours – this includes hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and prolonged sun exposure.
Refrain from heavy exercise and alcohol for 48 hours post-treatment.
For skincare, use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh exfoliants or strong skincare products for a few days.
Avoid facials, facial massages, or skin resurfacing treatments for at least two weeks.

How Soon Will I See Results and How Long Will It Last?

The initial effects are typically visible within 5 days, with full results appearing within 2 weeks.
For first-time treatments, a follow-up appointment with your clinician is recommended after 2-3 weeks.
Effects generally last around 3 months. Fine lines that don’t fully fade within the first 2 weeks may continue to soften over time. Regular treatments every 3-4 months can lead to further improvements. If the lines persist, dermal fillers may offer additional benefit.
Botulinum toxin can also help prevent the formation of new lines. To maintain the best long-term results, most people benefit from treatments every 3-4 months.
