Wanting to stay young and maintaining youthful radiance is a natural human instinct. We all want to be forever young. Thanks to the option we have to lead a healthy lifestyle, it isn’t difficult to achieve.

Beauty treatments are also a great way to keep our skin looking vibrant and youthful. Take our Hydrafacial, for instance.

The positive effects of facials should always be maintained with a proper skin regimen, and Skinceuticals is everything you’ll ever need in your beauty routine. Another element that boosts our beauty points by tenfold is Botox! 

Many people utilize the amazing rejuvenating powers of Botox to get rid of those pesky frown lines, fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Botox has become immensely popular with a wide age range, as it isn’t merely a cure for the signs of aging anymore. Even people in their 20s have started using this cosmetic procedure as a preventative measure. 

Once you’ve the age-defying procedure done, you would immediately notice results. The next step to take is care and maintenance. Here are a few things to keep in mind to maximize the results of Botox: 

1. Avoid Touching the Injection Area 

Refrain from rubbing the injection site for at least 24 hours after the procedure. It could be tempting to rub or massage the injection site if it feels sore, but keep in mind that doing this could cause an infection or bruising. 

2. Avoid Swelling With Ice 

It’s normal to feel slightly sore after the procedure. Soothe the pain by applying an ice pack to the injection site. In case you don’t have one at the moment, a packet of frozen peas wrapped in a clean piece of cloth works as a viable alternative. Botox is relatively painless, however, the levels of discomfort may vary from one person to another, so if you feel extreme discomfort, you can ask your for a pain reliever that doesn’t thin the blood, such as Tylenol. 

3. No Lying Down for 4 Hours 

Avoid lying down for four hours after the Botox injection. It is recommended that you still sit in a comfortable position in a chair and elevate your feet. However, your upper body needs to stay in an upright position to ensure that your blood flow doesn’t rush to your face. This prevents bruising and keeps the Botox in the right position. 

4. No Alcohol 

Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours after your treatment. Alcohol is a blood thinner, so drinking it could increase the risk of bruising. 

5. Avoid Strenuous Activity 

Steer clear from sports or strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after getting Botox injections. If you exhaust yourself after your treatment, the blood flows through your muscles increases, which could risk the diffusion of the Botox substance. 

6. No Hot Showers 

We all love a relaxing hot shower, but if you’ve just undergone Botox treatment, it is advisable to take a shower 24 hours after with warm water. 

7. Use Cold Water When Washing Your Face 

Do not wash your face with hot water. Experts recommend using only ice or cold water on your face after getting Botox. 

8. No Cosmetic Treatments 

Avoid getting a facial, dermabrasion, or chemical peel treatment within the first 24 hours after the Botox procedure.
