Your Botox is placed — now what? A few simple aftercare steps in the first 24 hours help your results settle exactly where they should. Here's what to do (and what to skip) after Botox at Beauty Ranch Medical Spa in Brentwood.
The first 4 hours: the golden window
- Stay upright — don't lie flat for about 4 hours so the product settles where it was placed.
- Don't rub, massage, or press on the treated areas.
- Skip facials, microcurrent, and laser the same day.
The first 24 hours: what to avoid
- No intense exercise or heavy sweating.
- No saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga.
- No alcohol if you can help it — it can increase bruising.
- Skip blood thinners like ibuprofen or fish oil unless prescribed.
What's totally fine
- Gentle skincare and makeup after a few hours.
- Normal daily activities.
- Making expressions — smiling, talking, laughing all help the product settle.
