Post-Treatment Care

Aftercare

Following these simple guidelines after your toxin treatment will help you achieve the best possible results.

Things to Avoid

  • No direct sun or heat for 48 hours

    Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after treatment.

  • No alcohol

    Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.

  • No ibuprofen or aspirin

    These blood-thinning medications can increase bruising. Use Panado (paracetamol) if needed for discomfort.

  • No touching or manipulating the face

    Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for at least 4 hours after treatment.

  • No vigorous exercise for 24 hours

    Intense physical activity increases blood flow and can cause the toxin to migrate. Light walking is fine.

  • No hats or tight headbands

    Avoid anything that applies pressure to the forehead or treated areas for the first 24 hours.

Things to Expect

  • Mild swelling or bruising

    Small bumps or redness at the injection sites are completely normal and typically resolve within a few hours. Bruising, if it occurs, usually fades within a few days.

  • Take Panado for mild pain

    If you experience any tenderness at the injection sites, Panado (paracetamol) is safe and effective. Avoid ibuprofen or aspirin.

  • Results take 10–14 days

    Toxin works gradually. You will begin to notice softening within 3–5 days, with full results visible at 10–14 days. Please do not judge your results before then.

  • Schedule a follow-up

    A follow-up appointment is recommended 2 weeks after your treatment. This allows us to assess your results and make any small adjustments if needed.
