You’ve just treated yourself to Botox, and those smooth, refreshed results are in sight! But did you know that what you do after your appointment can make a big difference in how long your results last?

The good news is that proper aftercare isn’t hard, but it’s key to getting the most out of your treatment.

Here’s aftercare tips from top clinics for Botox results that last in Austin, Texas.

Key Aftercare Instructions for Botox Results That Last in Austin, Texas

1. Hands off! (At least for 24 hours) 

No matter how tempted you are, don’t touch or rub the treated areas for at least a day. Why? Rubbing could cause the Botox to move to areas it’s not meant for and even lead to irritation. It’s easier to keep your hands busy than to risk messing with your results. 

2. Stay upright 

For the first four hours after your appointment, avoid lying down or bending over too much. Staying upright helps the Botox settle where it’s supposed to and keeps everything working as intended. 

3. Take it easy at the gym 

We get wanting to hit the treadmill or your favorite HIIT class but skip vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Increased blood flow from strenuous activity can cause the Botox to shift, so it’s worth taking the day off. 

4. Pass on wine and aspirin 

Alcohol and blood-thinning medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, can increase your risk of bruising at the injection site. Play it safe and avoid these for a couple of days before and after your treatment. 

5. Hydrate as much as possible 

Water is your skin’s best friend. Drink plenty in the days following your treatment to keep your skin healthy and achieve Botox results that last in Austin, TX.
