Botox® requires little to no downtime, but following proper aftercare helps ensure the best results and reduces the chance of side effects. For the first 24 hours, avoid rubbing the treated area, intense exercise, and exposure to heat like saunas or hot tubs. Stay upright for at least 3 to 4 hours after treatment, and avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications unless your provider approves.
Most clients experience little to no discomfort, with mild side effects like redness, swelling, or slight bruising that typically resolve within a day or two. By following these guidelines and maintaining regular treatments, you can enjoy smoother skin and long-term improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
