Post-Care Instructions for
Medical Therapies

Avoid rubbing the injection areas for at least 24 hours after treatment to prevent irritation and inflammation.
To allow the treatment to fully absorb into the skin, it's recommended to avoid cleaning the forehead, washing the hair, or applying makeup for the first day.
Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications as they may interfere with the natural inflammatory process, which helps with skin rejuvenation.
Keep all makeup brushes, glasses, and anything that touches your face clean to prevent the risk of infection.

Avoid strenuous exercises or activities that cause sweating for at least 24 hours after treatment to prevent irritation.
To avoid damaging the skin or interfering with the healing process, it's best to avoid sun exposure for three days after skin treatments.
During the first two days after PRP treatment, it's recommended to avoid visiting baths, saunas, swimming pools, gyms, open waters, or using a solarium to prevent infection and irritation.

Wait for 24 hours before resuming exercise, especially if it’s part of your daily routine. Your doctor may suggest waiting longer as physical activity can increase blood flow, which could spread the toxin and reduce its effectiveness at the injection site.

Performing facial exercises like frowning, smiling, and raising your eyebrows is safe and can actually help the effects of Botox appear sooner.

Avoid applying makeup on your skin for at least 24 hours after Botox treatment to prevent the potential dispersal of the toxin caused by rubbing.

Sit upright and avoid bending or lying down for the first 4 hours after receiving Botox to minimize the spreading of the toxin and maintain its effectiveness at the injection site.

Consult your doctor about medications that may increase your risk of bruising and when it is safe to resume taking them.

Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure on the treated area and maintain a normal heart rate to allow the Botox to settle into the muscles properly.

Avoid skin treatments like facial massages, exfoliating scrubs, and dermal fillers for the first 24 hours as they may also reduce the effectiveness of the Botox.
