AFTERCARE ADVICE FOR BOTULINUM TOXIN

• Frown repeatedly and engage the muscles that have been injected this has been shown to hasten the effect and increase the duration of action.

• It will generally take 2-3 weeks for full effect to be reached.

• Do not rub or touch the treated area for 3-4 hours.

• Do not lie down for at least 3-4 hours and avoid make up for this period of time too. – if applying make up please use a light dabbing motion instead of rubbing and spreading.

• Avoid exercise for 3-4 hours after treatment.

• Please avoid other facial treatments for the next 7 days as this may cause ‘tracking’ of the treatment to different areas.

• Side effects: bruising and redness. Rare temporary drooping of the eyelid/eyebrow may occur but this will completely resolve with time.
