Botox Jeuveau Xeomin Daxify Neurotoxin for the most beautiful new you!

1) DO NOT rub or manipulate the area that has been injected with the Botox solution. This can result in migration from the targeted muscle. 

2) DO NOT lie flat, recline or tilt your head side to side or look down for 4 hours after the procedure. Try and keep your head upright, like you are balancing books on your head. Staring down at a tablet, phone or a book can cause problems. Tilting your head or lying down (as for a nap) can cause the solution to migrate from the targeted muscle and lead to complications. Toxin injected between the browns and the outer brow for a brow lift are most likely to migrate with tilting the first 4 hours. This can cause toxin to impact the levator muscle in the middle of the eyebrow. This is the muscle that is responsible for involuntary upper eyelid movement. If toxin migrates to the levator muscle, you will have the sleepy, droopy eyelids, called “Ptosis”. There is no real treatment to reverse ptosis. You have to wait weeks to months for the tox to wear off. Our best and most practical advice is, avoid any head tilting for 4 hours. Do not do strenuous exercise like running or spin class for 24 hours. Compliance with the 4 hour rule will lead to beautiful results!

4) Although some patients may experience treatment effect in 48 to 72 hours, most patients do not notice full treatment effect for 7 to 14 days following the treatment. Should you desire additional treatment, a 30-day wait is desirable. 

5) Although extremely rare, allergic reaction to Botox type medications can occur. If you experience EXTREME skin redness, swelling or rash, or SEVERLY swollen or puffy eyes, or SEVERE headache, you may be allergic to Botox serum or you may have developed antibodies to the Botox serum from previous treatment. You MUST call the office immediately and be seen by the physician or go directly to your closet emergency room to confirm the reaction as allergic as well as be treated. 

6) Your desired results will start occurring in a few days. What you have in 14 days is likely your optimal result from the dose you received.  Smaller doses wears off the faster. Talk to your injector and make the best decision on your area of treatment and the proper dose to provide the longest lasting results. 

7) Dose equals duration. If you received the suggested recommended dose per the treatment area, you are likely to have 3 to 4 months of smoothness from your tox treatment. Most areas require 15 to 25 units of tox, depending on the strength of the muscle treated. Book your follow up treatment in advance in order to stay on schedule. Keeping the muscles that cause wrinkles in a relaxed state will prevent future wrinkles and the consistency of treatments every 100 days on average will look amazing!
