NEUROMODULATOR INJECTIONS

What can I expect after my Botox treatment?

• Bruising: Minor bruising may occur at the injection site. To minimize bruising, a topical arnica ointment can be applied.

• Bumps: A few minutes after treatment, small bumps may be visible on the skin. These will disappear within 1-2 hours.

• Headache: A temporary headache may occur with some clients. This can be treated with usual painkillers.

​

What precautions should I take following my Botox treatment? 

• No rubbing or massaging of the injected area for 4 hours after treatment.

• No strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.

• Keep upright for 4 hours and avoid laying down.

• Avoid saunas or hot tubs for at least 4 hours.

• Wait 4 hours before applying makeup to the treated area.

• Avoid headwear that is tightly fitted across the forehead.

• Avoid facial treatments for 48 hours following your treatment.

​

When will I see the full effects of Botox?

Botox takes 14 days to take full effect. We suggest scheduling a follow-up appointment for 2 weeks after your appointment. Either side of the face may metabolize faster than the other. It is important to wait 2 weeks to see the full effect before any judgment of the results. 

​

How long does Botox last and how often should I receive neuromodulator injections?

The effects of Botox last from 3-4 months. We recommend re-treating the area before the neuromodulator injection wears out completely.
