Congratulations on taking the first step towards a smoother, more refreshed you with Botox or Dysport at Tulum Wellness Spa! To ensure you get the most out of your treatment, we've prepared this comprehensive aftercare guide, filled with expert tips to maximize your results and minimize any potential side effects.
Immediately After Treatment:
- Stay Upright for 4 Hours: For the first few hours, avoid lying down or bending over extensively. This simple precaution helps prevent the product from spreading to unintended areas.
- Hands Off: Resist the urge to touch or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This could potentially disrupt the product's placement and impact the final outcome.
- Express Yourself (Gently!): Making gentle facial expressions like frowning or smiling can actually be beneficial. This helps the Botox or Dysport settle into the muscles more effectively.
- Cool Down: If you experience any swelling or discomfort, apply a cool compress to the injection sites. This can help reduce inflammation and provide relief.
The First 24 Hours:
- Take it Easy: Refrain from strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or any activity that significantly increases blood flow to your face.
- Skip the Heat: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, or any excessive heat exposure, as this can potentially worsen bruising or swelling.
- Alcohol in Moderation: It's best to limit alcohol consumption during the first 24 hours, as it can thin your blood and potentially increase the risk of bruising.
General Tips for Optimal Results:
- Bumps are Normal: Don't be alarmed if you notice small bumps at the injection sites. These are common and should dissipate within a few hours.
- Be Gentle: When cleansing your face or applying makeup, be extra gentle around the treated areas to avoid any unnecessary pressure.
- Sunscreen is Key: Protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. This helps maintain your results and overall skin health.
- Schedule a Follow-Up: We recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with your Tulum Wellness Spa provider two weeks after your treatment. This allows us to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments.
When to Seek Medical Attention:
While rare, serious side effects can occur. If you experience any of the following, contact your doctor immediately:
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Vision problems
- Muscle weakness
- Severe pain or swelling
