Botox or Cosmetic Post Operative Instructions

  • DO gently ice the area for 20-30 minutes for up to four hours after the injection
  • DO NOT touch the area except to ice it for at least four hours after the injection
  • DO NOT lie down for at least four hours after the injection
  • DO NOT exercise for at least four hours after the injection
  • AVOID alcohol, NSAIDs like ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin, or naproxen sodium for at least four hours after injection.
  • Each patient is different. Clinical improvement generally begins within the first two weeks after injection with maximum clinical benefit at approximately six weeks post-injection. Most subjects were observed to have returned to pre-treatment status by 3 months post-treatment. It is important for you to keep your follow up appointment so Dr. Alfe can evaluate your response for effectiveness.
