Just Had Botox? Here's How to Protect Your Results
➡️ In the hours right after treatment, Botox is still settling into place. A few simple habits go a long way toward locking in proper placement, keeping bruising to a minimum, and setting your results up right.
Non-negotiable aftercare rules:
✔️ Stay upright for the first 4 hours
✔️ Hands off, no rubbing, pressing, or massaging the area
✔️ Skip intense workouts for 24 hours
✔️ Hold off on alcohol for 24 hours
✔️ Avoid saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and heat for 48 hours
✔️ Wait 4+ hours before washing your face or putting on makeup
✔️ Stick to a gentle cleanser, skip the harsh scrubbing
✔️ Pat dry, don't rub
✔️ Hold off on retinoids and exfoliating acids for a few days
✔️ Give it 2 weeks before facials, peels, or microneedling
✔️ Keep skin hydrated and protected from the sun
✨ Be careful those first 48 hours, be gentle with your skin, and let life go back to normal after that. These small steps help your Botox land exactly where it should, so you get smoother results with barely any downtime.
