BOTOX®
WRINKLE RELAXANT
Wrinkle Relaxant blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. It is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines.
Can also be used for excessive sweating.

BOTOX® Do's & Don’ts Following Treatment:
-
DON’T apply pressure when cleansing your face. Use gentle strokes away from the eyes. This is to avoid preventing the BOTOX® to reach the cells it needs to in order to work.
-
DO stay upright for 2 hours after treatment. This is to avoid pressure in the area and to avoid increased blood flow which might cause the BOTOX® to be dispersed and therefore not last as long.
-
DO exercise the injected areas for the first 24 hours after treatment by making pronounced facial expressions, e.g. frowning, smiling and raising your eyebrows. This helps the BOTOX® reach the cells it needs to in order to work.
-
DO avoid getting too hot 48 hours after treatment, for example strenuous exercise, hot weather, sun beds, sauna, steam room. This is because heat causes increased blood flow which might cause the BOTOX® to be dispersed and therefore not last as long.
-
DON’T apply makeup or have a spray tan for at least 6 hours after treatment. This is to avoid the risk of infection.
-
DON’T wear tight caps/garments in the area that has been injected. This is to avoid preventing the BOTOX® to reach the cells it needs to in order to work.
-
DON’T have facial massages, facial electric stimulation, microneedling, semi-permanent make up, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion for 2 weeks after your treatment.
