Botulinum toxin is an injectable solution derived from a fermented strain of bacteria. When injected into facial muscles, it effectively blocks movement signals, leading to the relaxation of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it helps prevent the development of expression-related wrinkles, known as dynamic wrinkles. The outcome is a smoother, more youthful appearance, free from the furrows, fine lines, and creases that may make you appear older than you truly are.
What is Botox ?
Botox Aftercare
Botox can take up to two weeks to show final results. We recommend the following aftercare steps for best results with Botox:
-
Avoid hot environments like saunas, hot showers, or hot tubs
-
Avoid exercising or elevating your heart rate for 24 hours
-
Avoid laying down or bending over for four hours
-
Avoid taking blood-thinning medications like ibuprofen
-
Avoid massaging or rubbing the area for four hours
-
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
Additionally, make sure to exercise the injected muscles for the first 30 minutes after treatment. This helps the product take hold. You may have some redness, but you can cover it with makeup if needed. Botox can last for 3-4 months, at which point you can return for a touch-up.
