After your Botox injection:

•	You may experience some bruising, swelling, mild discomfort, and/or a headache following the injection. Use an ice pack to the treated area and take Tylenol for any discomfort.

•	Do not massage the injected area. This may diffuse the Botox into surrounding muscles causing unwanted effects.  Any kind of manipulation or massage of this area should be avoided for the first few hours.  

•	Do not lie down for 2-3 hours after your Botox injection.  Try not to bend over for this same period of time.  

•	Call our office with any rashes or any persistent abnormal swelling (3 or more days.)

•	Botox typically has its effect in 3 to 7 days following the injection.  At times, it may take a full two weeks to see complete benefit from the injection.  The effect lasts approximately three to five months but may last shorter or longer based on your body's resorption.

•	Call our office with any questions or concerns.  

•	For the following three hours exercise the muscles. Make yourself frown, raise eyebrows, smile big and squint.
