Things To Keep In Mind After Having Botox Treatment

BOTOX is a great solution for people who are in their early fifties or in their late forties. It is just the right age to get this anti-ageing treatment since this is the age bracket where the human skin still can produce collagen – the protein that makes your skin elastic, thus keeping wrinkles and related signs of ageing at bay.

With that started, it should be kept in mind that post-treatment care is a must for people who have had their BOTOX treatment and it comprises of the following –

Wait For At Least A Day Before Hitting The Gym Or Partaking In A Strenuous Activity

In case you are a fitness freak or simply a person who loves to sweat it out at the gym then you would need to refrain from your exercise routine for at least a day after you have had your BOTOX treatment.

Why?

Well, for starters, strenuous activities like exercise increase blood pressure which can spread the toxin to the areas that do not need the treatment. This will lead to a drop in the quality of the results that are intended to witness in the target areas of their body. It is as simple as that.

Do Not Use Cosmetic Products

Most BOTOX treatments are taken in the facial region hence; in case you have had these injections in your face then you would need to wait for at least a day before you can get back to touching your face let alone use cosmetic or makeup products.

Try To Sit Upright For A While After You Have Had Your BOTOX Treatment

You would need to sit upright for at least four hours before you can get back to your daily routine after you have had the treatment. Fail to do this or try to lie down then you might end up with bruises on the treated areas!

Avoid Sleeping On The Treated Areas Of Your Body

Avoid sleeping on the treated areas of your body as it will help keep pressure off from the same. This will allow the BOTOX to settle well in its designated place(s) thus rewarding you with a toned and uplifted look.

Avoid Getting Exposed To Sunlight And Artificial Uv As Well As Heat Sources

Sun exposure should be avoided for at least four hours since the moment you have had the BOTOX treatment. The heat from the sunlight can result in uncontrolled flushing in the treated areas of your body as it increases blood pressure. As direct sun exposure will end up with treated areas with redness and bruising making it ineffective.

In this context, you would also need to steer clear from artificial heat as well as UV sources such as:

• Tanning beds
• Jacuzzis
• Hot showers and
• Saunas
