What should I avoid after Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin?

Avoid exercising, wearing hats or headbands, and lying down or bending forward with your head down for at least 24 hours after treatment. These guidelines help prevent migration of the neurotoxin and support optimal results.

How can I reduce bruising or swelling after neuromodulator injections?

If you experience bruising at the injection site, apply ice in 10-minute intervals using a cloth barrier. Avoid direct ice-to-skin contact.

When can I resume facial treatments after Botox or Dysport?

Avoid facials, facial massage, exfoliating treatments or tools, and lash or brow services for two weeks after your neurotoxin appointment.

GENERAL POST CARE POLICIES

Medications

Avoid all medications, supplements, foods, and alcohol listed in the Pre-Care Policies (link) until bruising and swelling have fully resolved—unless they are medically necessary.

Exercise

Refrain from exercise until all visible bruising and swelling have subsided, as increased circulation may prolong healing.

Pain Relief

If you need pain relief, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to use—unless contraindicated based on your medical history or other medications.

Bruising/Swelling

You may take Arnica to help reduce bruising and swelling, unless it is contraindicated (e.g., with high blood pressure or other medical conditions). Always follow the instructions on the label.

POST-CARE POLICIES

For 24 Hours

Avoid exercising or engaging in strenuous physical activity.
Do not wear hats, headbands, or anything that puts pressure on the treated area(s).
Avoid lying down or bending forward with your head down for at least 3 hours after treatment. (If needed, squat instead of bending at the waist.)
If you experience bruising at the injection site, apply ice in 10-minute intervals (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off).
Never apply ice packs directly to the skin—use a clean cloth or barrier to protect the area

For 2 Weeks

Avoid the following to prevent disruption of the treated areas:

Facials or facial massage
Exfoliating treatments or tools (including Clarisonic devices)
Lash or brow services (tinting, lifting, extensions, etc.)

Until Bruising & Swelling Have Resolved

Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure, as this can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Continue to avoid exercise until bruising has fully healed, as increased circulation may prolong recovery time.

Please read these instructions carefully to ensure nothing is missed. Proper post-care not only minimizes the risk of complications and speeds up healing—it also helps achieve the best possible results.)
