Botox® – post operative advice

Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire explains in his latest blog how CODE recommend as post operative advice after your botox treatment.

You should frown repeatedly for about one hour immediately following the treatment. This will help the treatment to be more effective by increasing the uptake by the targeted muscle groups.

Do not rub the treated area, stay upright for at least 4 hours and try to avoid sleeping on your face for the first night.

You can gently apply light makeup after the treatment but use a light dabbing motion instead of a rubbing or spreading motion for the first day.

Do not have any facial treatments for 7 days after treatment as they may cause ‘tracking’ of the Botox^®to neighbouring areas.

Side effects of this treatment are rare. Occasionally, temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow may occur, which usually lasts for a few weeks and if longer, will resolve when the effects of the toxin wear off.
