Post-treatment Care: Tips From Professionals to Ensure Optimal Results
Congratulations on getting your Botox treatment! If it’s your first time or 40th time, it’s important to take proper care of yourself post-treatment to ensure the best results possible.
First and foremost, avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This will help prevent the spread of the toxin and ensure that it stays in the targeted areas. Additionally, avoid lying flat or doing any activities that may cause pressure on the injected areas. This will reduce the risk of any potential migration of the product.
In terms of skincare, it’s best to stick to gentle cleansers and avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubs for the first few days after treatment. This will allow your skin to heal and reduce the risk of any irritation or inflammation. Also, be sure to protect your skin from the sun by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
To further enhance your results, consider maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and staying hydrated can help improve the longevity of your Botox results.
How to Make the Most Out of Your Botox Experience
Now that you’ve taken the necessary steps to care for your skin post-Botox treatment, let’s delve into some strategies that can help you maximize your overall Botox experience.
Firstly, it’s crucial to have realistic expectations. Botox can do wonders, but it won’t magically transform your appearance overnight. Understanding the limitations of the treatment and discussing your goals with Dr. Abramson will help set realistic expectations and ensure you’re on the same page.
Communicating openly and honestly with Dr. Abramson is also vital. Share your concerns, preferences, and desired outcomes before and during the treatment. This will enable him to tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
Patience is key when it comes to seeing the full effects of Botox. Results typically start to show within a few days, but it may take up to two weeks for the full outcome to be visible. Refrain from making any drastic judgments too soon and give the treatment time to settle in.
Lastly, consider scheduling follow-up appointments to maintain your results. Botox is not permanent, and its effects typically last for about three to four months. By being proactive and scheduling regular touch-up appointments, you can ensure long-lasting and consistent results.

Is there a way to maximize your Botox® results? Dr. Abramson answers.
“So patients many times will ask, what can I do before I have my Botox to maximize my experience, and reduce any postoperative complications?
The primary risk of Botox that we see in our practice has been some bruising. Most of the time it’s exceedingly light and very superficial. Sometimes there will be a vein that creates a bruise that’s a little deeper down. What we have patients do to maximize their outcome, is to reduce any Aspirin or Ibuprofen, which includes the other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin, approximately 1-2 weeks prior to their scheduled Botox treatment. Also, it’s recommended to not have alcohol the night before you have your Botox treatment. We will also use ice while we have the patient in the procedure chair to also reduce the risk of having bruising.
We also recommend for the patients to wash their face with a little cleanser, either Cetaphil or even Phisohex or your daily cleanser, prior to coming in for your Botox, so that we can maximize your time here and get you back to whatever you were doing quicker.
So we have just a few recommendations for the first 24 hours after Botox. Those include not massaging the area in which the Botox was placed. Also we don’t recommend any heavy exercise just after the Botox and until the next day. The next day, patients can return to their full activity as they would like to. Also, I have had patients in the past schedule massages after their Botox, and as you can imagine, putting your face in a ring to get a massage thereafter is probably not indicated.”
After the Botox we do recommend patients do what we call the Botox exercises. Wherever the Botox was placed, we recommend the patients for 20 times, to either smile, or frown, or raise your eyebrows in order to help that Botox work into where it needs to get to quickly.”
