Botox and Cosmetic Fillers: Essential Aftercare Instructions

Congratulations on your Botox and fillers treatment! To ensure the best possible outcome and a smooth recovery, please follow these important aftercare instructions:



Muscle Exercise: Within the first hour after treatment, try to use the treated muscles by practicing frowning, raising your eyebrows, or squinting. While this can aid in integrating the treatment into your muscles and potentially improve results, rest assured that forgetting to do this won't negatively impact your treatment.



Avoid Facial Treatments and Massaging: Refrain from having any facials and avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This allows the product to settle properly and minimizes the risk of adverse effects.



Limit Physical Activities: For the next three hours following the treatment, avoid lying down and engaging in strenuous exercise. Additionally, stay away from saunas, hot tubs, or tanning for four hours to prevent an increase in blood pressure, reducing the risk of bruising.



Manage Mild Headache: In rare cases, some patients may experience a mild headache after treatment. If this happens, you can take Tylenol for pain relief.



Temporary Side Effects: After the procedure, you might notice tiny bumps or marks in the treated area. These typically disappear within a few hours. Although there is a small risk of bruising, it's usually temporary and can be easily covered up with makeup. In the rare event that bruising occurs, it may last up to one week.



Gradual Effect of Botox: The effects of Botox will gradually start to appear within 3-7 days, but it can take up to two weeks to see the full results. Please be patient and allow the treatment to take its full course.



Longevity of Botox and Filler: Botox generally lasts around 2-3 months initially. However, with regular treatment appointments as recommended, the duration of each treatment's effects may extend beyond four months. Fillers typically last between 6-12 months.



Post-Filler Effects: After filler injections, you may experience some bruising, redness, or swelling in the treated area. These side effects will naturally subside over time, and you'll be able to appreciate the full effect of the filler within approximately two weeks.



Contact Your Plastic Surgeon: If you have any questions or concerns about your recent injections, don't hesitate to reach out to your Plastic Surgeon's office. They are there to support you throughout your recovery journey.



By adhering to these aftercare instructions, you'll be well on your way to enjoying the transformative power of Botox and fillers in Malta while ensuring a safe and satisfying experience.
