Welcome to Naturally Beautiful Aesthetics Medical Spa
Tox Post Care Instructions
● Visible bumps may be seen at the injections sites. These are normal and may last up to a few
hours.
● Botox will start to work in 2-7 days and peak in about 2 weeks. Please note, if additional
products are needed, it will not be injected until 14 days after your initial injection.
● Do not lie down for 4-6 hours post injections
● Do not massage the treatment area.
● Do not do strenuous exercise for 48 hours following your injection.
● Do not get a massage, do microdermabrasion or any other activity that may elevate your
core body temperature.
● If the forehead was treated, do not wear a hat or headband for 48 hours.
● You may cleanse your face normally this evening but please do not massage the injected
area. If you routinely use a Clarisonic brush, do not use it tonight. Also, do not use any
abrasive exfoliants or scrubs.
● Bruising may be seen. This happens in a small percentage of treatments but will not affect
your treatment results. There also may be some discomfort associated with it. Bruising
should resolve within one week. The use of Arnica Montana (available at health food stores)
may help with bruising. It is available both topically (as a gel) or orally.
● Cosmetics, moisturizers, lotions may be used the next day, but do not apply extreme
pressure or do anything that may cause discomfort.
● Exercising the muscles in the treated area may help the product get into the muscle faster,
but has no effect on the overall efficacy of the treatment. (You can “make faces” up to 10
times per hour for the first few hours after treatment).
● Headaches may be a possible side effect. Tylenol (acetaminophen) may be used as directed
on the bottle, for any discomfort after injection. Avoid Advil (Ibuprofen) and aspirin.
● Sensitive or blurry vision is possible for 2-3 days post treatment. Wear sunglasses and
moisturize eyes with moisturizing eye drops.
● Flu-like symptoms are rare, but may last 2-3 days. Fluids, rest and Tylenol (acetaminophen)
Microneedling post care
● You should expect erythema and edema to the treated area. This will subside
within a day or two.
● Tiny pinpoint scabs or peeling may appear 24-72 hours post-treatment and may remain for 3-7 days following. They should not be touched; itched or exfoliated as they will naturally shed off when ready.
● During the next 48 hours post-treatment you should avoid working out, hot
showers, massages, sun exposure, etc. The skin should be kept clean to avoid
contamination or infection while it is healing.
● Women – Do not apply any makeup to your skin for 12 hours after treatment
while your skin is healing. You may start applying emollient creams to alleviate
any dry, tight, or itchy sensations while your skin is healing.
● Men – Do not shave for 1-2 days post-treatment while your skin is healing. You
may start applying emollient creams to alleviate any dry, tight, or itchy
sensations while your skin is healing.
● You should apply a high-factor mineral sunscreen (at least 30 SPF) and protect the treated area from sunlight. Sun exposure may cause hyperpigmentation.
● Treatments vary depending on skin conditions, but typical protocol is between 3-4 sessions and every 4-6 weeks between sessions.
