Frequently asked questions
Anti-wrinkle Injection Aftercare
First 4 Hours
-
Stay upright: Remain upright for at least 4 hours. Avoid bending down, leaning forward, or lying flat.
-
Do not touch: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated areas for 3–4 hours.
-
Avoid blood flow stimulants: Do not drink excessive alcohol, take vigorous exercise, use sunbeds, or eat hot, spicy food. Increased circulation can worsen bruising, swelling, and cause the toxin to migrate to adjacent muscles.
First 24 Hours
-
No air travel: Avoid flying on an aircraft for at least 24 hours following your treatment.
-
Gentle product application: If applying makeup or moisturiser on the first day, use light dabbing motions instead of rubbing or spreading.
-
Sleep: Avoid sleeping on your face for the first night. Try to sleep on your back to prevent unwanted pressure.
Days 2 to 14
-
No heat or UV exposure (7 days): Do not use saunas, steam rooms, or sunbeds for 7 days post-treatment.
-
No facial treatments (7 days): Avoid facials, chemical peels, microneedling, or laser resurfacing for 14 days, as these can displace the product into neighbouring areas.
-
Avoid face-down pressure (14 days): Do not place your face in the breathing hole or headrest of a massage, physiotherapy, or chiropractic couch for at least 2 weeks.
Skincare & Facial Movement
-
Gentle cleansing: When washing your face after the initial 4 hours, use light, upward strokes directed away from the eye area. Never deep-cleanse or massage the treated sites.
-
Active expression is encouraged: Normal facial expressions are safe and recommended. Gently tensing and relaxing the treated muscles during the first hour and over the next two days can help the toxin absorb faster into active muscle tissue.

Botulinum Toxin Treatments Aftercare Advice
If you experience any small swellings or bruising after your treatment, use a cold compress. Arnica cream can be useful. Do not drink excessive alcohol, take vigorous exercise, use sunbeds or eat hot spicy food for the first 4 hours after treatment-The increased blood flow can not only contribute to bruising and swelling after Botox injections, but it can also cause the Botox to migrate away from the injection site into the surrounding muscles. Do not massage the area - again this may spread the toxin away from the target site. Exercise the treated muscles by tensing and relaxing them for the first hour after treatment as the Botulinum Toxin absorbs quicker into active muscles. Continue the exercises each hour for the next 2 days. Refrain from touching the treated area for 3-4 hours. After this time, when you clean the area, do so gently. All movements should be stroking up and away from the eye area. Remain upright for 4 hours and avoid leaning your head forward during this time. There is a particular risk of eye lid or eyebrow complications should you have pressure on the area treated such as placing your face on a breathing hole on a physio or massage couch. This should be avoided for at least 2 weeks. Avoid sleeping on your face for the first night. Try to sleep on your back for the next week. When applying your make-up or moisturiser use dabbing motions instead of rubbing or spreading for the first day. Do not have any facial treatments - these may promote ‘tracking’ of the substance to neighbouring areas, for 7 days. (Facials, chemical peels or laser resurfacing) Do not have any sunbeds or saunas for 7 days following treatment. Do not fly on an aircraft for 24 hours following treatment. Botulinum toxin takes from 2 to 14 days to become effective. This is dependent on the strength of the muscles injected and the individual response. Finally, treatment with Botulinum Toxin is temporary and to maintain the effects, treatment is recommended every 3 to 4 months.
