Precautions After Botox

Please review the following guidelines carefully to help ensure the best possible results.

I. Aftercare Guidelines

• Please avoid pressing, rubbing, or applying strong pressure to the treated area.
• For 1–2 weeks, please avoid saunas, steam rooms, half-baths, strenuous exercise, massages, alcohol, and smoking.
• To allow the product to settle properly, please avoid massage, meridian therapy, or any strong pressure or stimulation on the treated area for 2 weeks.
• For the first few days, it is best to avoid hard or chewy foods such as gum or dried squid.

II. Changes That May Occur During Recovery

• Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, or muscle soreness may occur in the treated area, but these symptoms usually improve naturally.
• As the muscles gradually relax, you may notice mild fatigue or slight discomfort when chewing, but this generally settles over time.
• In very rare cases, if the product affects nearby muscles, there may be a temporary change in facial expression, but this usually resolves on its own.
• With salivary gland Botox, temporary dry mouth or a sensation of something in the throat may occur, but these symptoms gradually improve.
• To date, no permanent side effects from Botox treatment have been reported. Most reactions are temporary and part of the normal recovery process.

III. Results and Progress

• Results appear gradually, with the most stable outcome usually seen after 3 to 4 weeks.
• For a more accurate evaluation of your results, we recommend visiting the clinic within 4 to 5 weeks after treatment.
• Depending on your muscle condition, regular maintenance may be helpful to maintain a balanced facial contour.

IV. When to Consult Your Medical Provider

• If pain or swelling persists abnormally
• If inflammation or an allergic reaction is suspected
• If you experience any of the above symptoms, please contact our clinic and visit for an evaluation.
