BOTOX & Fillers Post-Care

BOTOX & Filler Post-Treatment Instructions

Do not massage, rub or apply pressure to the treated area for 6 hours after treatment
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and drinking alcohol for a few days following treatment
Do not exercise for 24 hrs

Apply topical Arnica Montana cream to any areas with redness, bruising or swelling
Avoid exposure to the sun and cold outdoor activities until redness from treatment disappears
Do not restart Retinol or Retin-A for 2 days

Avoid kissing, puckering, using a straw, and “lip plumpers”. This can displace the filler material and cause complications
Immediately apply ice to the area treated with very light pressure to reduce swelling. Ice should be applied for 10-20 minutes and then removed for 10-20 minutes. This cycle can be continued throughout today
Mild to moderate bruising is very common with fillers. Apply Topical and/or oral Arnica Montana to help with any areas of bruising and/or swelling
Stay well hydrated can improve results. Filler attracts and binds to water to add volume to the skin
Avoid facials, peel, micro-dermabrasion, dental treatment, “face down” massages for two weeks. Also, sleep on your back for the next few nights
If possible, avoid makeup today. Gentle cleansing and moisturizer is fine
The effect of filler is immediate with full effect in 7 days
