Top 5 Things To Do After a BOTOX Cosmetic Injection

You've just had a BOTOX injection to help smooth away the lines running across your forehead and the deep creases between your brows. The injection has left you a little sore, but you can't wait to see the results that will appear over the following few days - and you can help make them appear faster by following these 5 tips:

1. Keep your head elevated for at least 4-5 hours after the injection, which means you should not bend over or lie down for this time. If you have to pick anything up, bend at the knees. This maximizes the results achievable with the injection. This is particularly important if you've had the injection in the brow area.

2. Perform the facial exercises recommended by the medical professional who treated you. Doing so improves the effectiveness of the injected BOTOX. These gentle exercises should be performed as often as possible to keep the area treated muscles conditioned and will help the treated muscles travel further into the nerve endings.

3. Don't do anything physically strenuous for at least a day. Lifting heavy things, exercising, or any other vigorous activity should be avoided to help with recovery.

4. The injection may cause a bruise. To ease bruising and discomfort, you can apply a cool pack for a few minutes every hour following treatment. However, it is vital that you do not use it for longer than a few minutes. The compress should also be cool, and not cold.

5. If you experience a headache, let your medical professional know, even though it's a common side effect of treatment. The headache can last for a few hours to a couple of days, and should gradually disappear with time. You can take a pain reliever like Tylenol to ease the throbbing. This won't affect the effectiveness of BOTOX.

Another side effect that may result from treatment is droopy eyelids. The occurrence is much rarer than a headache, and generally is due to too much product injected or incorrect location for the injection. Again, please let your specialist know if this happens.

These are just a few tips to follow which can help you improve your rate of recovery. Other than this, the best thing you can do to help results appear faster is to always follow the care instructions given to you by your doctor.
