The Do’s and Dont’s of Neurotoxin

Written By sydney rochester

The Do's of Neurotoxin Aftercare:

  • Be gentle with your skin for 24 hours after treatment. 

  • Avoid touching or rubbing the area.

  • If possible, avoid sleeping on the side of your face where your injections were administered.

  • Ice the area if necessary.

  • Drink plenty of water before and after treatment. 

  • Follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your provider. 

The Don'ts of Neurotoxin Aftercare:

  • Don’t lay flat for 4 hours after treatment.

  • Don't exercise vigorously for 24 hours following treatment.

  • Don't take ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medications within 48 hours after treatment.

  • Don't apply makeup right away after treatment; wait until any redness has subsided before applying makeup over treated areas in order to cover up any bruising or discoloration that may have occurred during injections.

  • Don’t get a facial for at least two weeks post-injection.

  • Don't forget sunscreen! Sun exposure can lead to premature aging so make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ when going outdoors following neurotoxin treatments—this will help protect your skin from sun damage and prolong its youthful appearance.
