Previously, after a similar procedure in the clinic, the cosmetologist “loaded” you with numerous restrictions:.

• stay up for 4 hours.

•do not massage injection sites.

• do not carry out hardware procedures for about 2 weeks.

• refrain from sauna, drinking alcohol and playing sports (and sometimes even sex! ) about 2 weeks, etc..

Doctors of the EDIT clinic have not imposed such restrictions on their patients for more than 3 years after injections of Botox and other drugs based on botulinum. It has now been proven that after 30 seconds at the injection site, botulinum toxin, as a chemical substance, is not detected, since it breaks down into light and heavy protein chains.. In this regard, neither the position of the body, nor the intake of alcohol or medication, much less a sauna or playing sports, can affect the effect of Botox.. If all this had any effect, then with an overdose of Botox, one should simply start doing all of the above, but it doesn’t help!

The only thing that should not be done is to touch the injection sites with non-sterile hands in order to exclude infection, as well as after any other injections..

The use of drugs, physical activity and cosmetology after the Botox injection procedure.

Drugs that are in the patient's blood at the time of injection can affect the effectiveness of Botox: some antibiotics can enhance the effect, some can weaken it, and others can not affect the result of botulinum toxin injections..

The same applies to some psychotropic drugs, muscle relaxants and magnesium.. If you use any of the listed drugs, cancel and wait until the drug is excreted from the body and only then go for "

In any case, if you are taking any medications, it would not be superfluous to inform the doctor about this on the eve of the Botox injection procedure, especially since there are such questions in the informed consent to the procedure that the patient fills out before the Botox injection..

After Botox injections, you should not expect an immediate effect and every half an hour you should watch what happens to your face, you need to understand that the final result will come in 5-21 days.

If you get a small bruise after Botox injections, exclude visiting the bath or sauna, intense physical activity so that the bruise does not blur. Cover the bruise with a camouflage agent and sunscreen so as not to explain to everyone what happened to you and prevent the formation of age spots.

Immediately after Botox injections (after counting 30 seconds), you can do any other cosmetic procedures, take any drugs, since Botox is no longer there, and it is no longer possible to influence something that is not there!

What to Avoid After Botox Injections?

You should not ask the doctor to administer the drug more than is necessary for the effect of relaxing mimic wrinkles, so that the doctor does not save units of Botox and in the hope of a longer effect. This approach can lead to undesirable phenomena: Botox, injected in excess and associated with the nerve endings in the planned area, will “go” to look for new nearby receptors for blockade in those places where it was not originally planned, which will cause the effect to be unpredictable.

You should not exceed the total dose of Botox administered in 1 session to 1 patient, the drug will have systemic effects, and in cosmetology we need only local (targeted) ones: elimination of wrinkles, blockade of the sweat gland, treatment of rosacea, etc..

It is not necessary to forget to come for a correction after 10-21 days after the Botox injection, so that by adding a small dose the doctor can improve the result of his procedure and write down your individual injection schedule on the card. This will allow the next time to carry out the Botox injection procedure without correction, and this is aerobatics..

No need to insist on Botox correction, even if it is free, when the doctor thinks that it is absolutely not needed.

Do not forget to repeat this procedure after 120 days after the Botox injection, as stated in the instructions, to ensure year-round prevention of deepening wrinkles..

No need to do chaotic booster injections of Botox! Collect all your ideas where you want to inject Botox for 1 visit to the doctor (face, neck, hair, armpits, palms, etc.. ) or ask a beautician where he would advise you to get Botox injections?

You should not come to the doctor’s clinic 3 weeks after Botox injections with the idea of \u200b\u200binjecting Botox into another wrinkle, you will have to wait at least 3 months.

Frequent injections of Botox can lead to subsequent complete insensitivity to the drug, and this is already a disaster - how can you eliminate wrinkles so easily, quickly and almost painlessly in the next 40 years of your life?
