What to do DURING and After Botox


What to do DURING and After Botox

The first five parts discussed what Botox can do for your skin, how much it costs, whether it's safe, what side effects to expect, and what mistakes inexperienced Botox injectors tend to make.

This section is a final checklist for the things you should and shouldn't do before you get Botox, during a Botox treatment, and after you get Botox injections so you can get the absolute best results.

While you can read about all of this online, it's best to hear it straight from your doctor's mouth. Also, ask about what your doctor will do on the off chance that something goes wrong with your Botox treatment. If you have significant bruising, will he give you a discounted v-beam laser treatment to minimize the bruising? If you end up with Spock brows, will he fix them free of charge? What if your Botox wears off in a week, will he give you an additional touch-up for free? Do not be afraid to ask questions! It's better to have answers before than after.

What to do DURING Botox

What you do during Botox is not as important as what you do before and after Botox, but here are some things you should keep in mind for a good treatment session:

Go au naturel

Your skin will be cleaned with rubbing alcohol or an antiseptic before you get Botox, so feel free to show up to your appointment with nothing on your skin. If you wear makeup, they will take it off anyway.

Stay still but pay attention

If you are afraid of needles, don't make yourself writhe with discomfort by thinking about them. Set your mind on something random, like monkeys juggling pineapples. The Botox will be over before you know it. Stay still but pay attention and follow your doctor's instructions. He/she will tell you to smile, relax, frown, etc. during the injection process.

Use an ice pack

Ice before, during, and after Botox can help reduce any potential signs of bruising.

What to do AFTER Botox

What you do after Botox and how you take care of your skin is very important. Here are some things you should and shouldn't do after getting Botox injections:

Don't touch your skin where the Botox was injected. Avoid rubbing and massaging the treated area for 24 hours because you don't want to make the Botox spread to other unintended muscles.

Avoid strenuous physical activity.

Avoid consuming large amounts of alcohol.

Avoid getting facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, etc. for 24 hours.

Avoid taking the blood thinning medications mentioned above.

If you get a Botox bruise, topical vitamin K and arnica can help. Or you can get v-beam, pulsed-dye, or KTP laser treatments to make the bruising go away faster. Green or yellow concealers can also help cover up the bruises.

Go back for touch-ups if you need it or are unsatisfied with your results.

Call your doctor or seek medical attention if you experience any side effects or complications from the Botox treatment.

Taking these measure before, during, and after Botox will help you get both a better Botox experience and better Botox results.

We've reached the end of this section about Botox! Thanks for reading and I hope you learned a lot about Botox. If you choose to get this injectable for your skin, I hope it gives you great results! Feel free to ask questions or share your experience in the comments below.

How to Measure Your Height

How to Measure Your Height Sometimes we might be taller than we really are and we don’t realize it. One of the easiest ways to make the mistake in thinking one is shorter than what we really are is because we have not been standing or using the right posture when we are getting our heights measured. I personally know that from a quick shift in posture or positioning of one’s standing or feet, ones height can deviate by as much as 0.5 of an inch. When you are getting measured for height, most of you want the nurse, (or your mother) to make as accurate of a measurement as they possibly can. Especially when you are on some program or routine where you are trying to increase your height, you want to be very accurate and exact in your methodology for measuring your height. What you might have thought was a slight height increase was really from a different standing position. If you are one of those types of people who had a perfectionist attitude, you might want your height down to...
