Botulinum Toxin Type A After Care
Important Information Following your Type A Treatment
- Do not massage the treated area. If the area is washed, pat dry very gently with a soft towel. Do not rub the treated area for 48 hours.
- Do not bend excessively or lie down for at least 4 hours.
- Do exercise the treated muscles by tensing them and relaxing them for the first hour after treatment.
- Do not exercise, sauna or fly for 48 hours following treatment as these activities break down the toxin and will make the treatment less effective.
- Botulinum Toxin takes from 2 to 14 days to become effective. This is dependent on the strength of the muscles injected and the individual response.
- If the degree of muscle relaxation is not as you would wish, please contact your practitioner.
- Treatment with Botulinum Toxin is temporary and to maintain the effects, treatment is recommended every 3 to 6 months.
- If you have any concerns please contact your aesthetic practitioner.
