Treatment and Aftercare
Usual Symptoms
After receiving wrinkle relaxer injections, downtime is minimal, and most individuals can resume their daily activities right away. However, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and any medications you are taking (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners), you may experience temporary, minor side effects like:
- Slight swelling at or near the injection site
- Mild tenderness or bruising around the treatment areas
- Small red dots at the treatment sites
- A mild headache, based on the treated area
Next Steps:
To account for varying results, we recommend attending a follow-up appointment two weeks post-treatment to assess your results.
Aftercare instruction
- Avoid touching the treated area: To prevent the spread of bacteria and ensure proper healing, avoid touching, rubbing or applying makeup to the injected area for at least 4 hours after the procedure.
- Stay upright: For the first four hours after the injections, it’s recommended to remain in an upright position and avoid lying down. This helps to prevent the migration of the botulinum toxin to unintended areas.
- Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or activities that cause excessive sweating for the first 4 hours. Sweating can potentially spread the botulinum toxin to adjacent muscles.
- Avoid facial treatments: Steer clear of facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or any other facial treatments for at least one week after injections. These treatments may increase the risk of complications or interfere with the results.
- Use ice packs (if advised): If your injector recommends it, you can apply ice packs wrapped in a cloth to the treated area. This can help reduce swelling and alleviate any discomfort. However, be sure not to apply excessive pressure or ice directly on the skin.
- Refrain from alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 4 hours after the procedure. Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of spread of the botulinum toxin.
- Be patient: The full effects of botulinum toxin can take up to 2 weeks to appear. It’s essential to be patient and wait for the results to take effect which can take two weeks. Follow-up appointment: If your injector provider has scheduled a follow-up appointment, make sure to attend it. This allows her/him to assess the results and address any concerns or questions you may have.

How does wrinkle reduction treatments work?

Who should have wrinkle reduction treatments?

Do wrinkle reduction treatments hurt?
The injections needed for wrinkle treatment are tiny and typically painless. Although some individuals may experience a slight pinching or pricking sensation, it is usually mild and bearable. Since wrinkle reduction procedures work by relaxing the muscles, they can potentially alleviate pain rather than induce it.
