Botox Aftercare

Botox Aftercare at Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa

Your results matter—and so does what you do after your appointment.

At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa in Moncton, we believe in science-backed beauty with a personalized approach. Botox is one of our most popular treatments, and for good reason—it’s quick, effective, and delivers a refreshed, youthful look. But to get the best results, proper aftercare is essential.

This guide covers everything you need to know to support your results and keep that smooth, confident glow.

Why Botox Aftercare Matters

Botox works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. While the injections themselves are quick, the effects take a few days to kick in—and your aftercare routine helps maximize the outcome and minimize any side effects.

Proper aftercare ensures:

• Faster recovery with fewer bruises or swelling
• Longer-lasting, more even results
• Lower risk of complications like unwanted spread or drooping

What to Do After Your Botox Appointment

1. Keep your head elevated
For the first 4 to 6 hours, avoid lying down flat. This helps prevent the Botox from shifting into unintended areas.

2. Skip touching, rubbing, or massaging the area
Try not to touch your face or apply pressure to the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This includes facials, massages, and using tight headwear or goggles.

3. Stay upright and keep moving
Gentle movement is fine, and it can actually help the product settle nicely. Just avoid anything intense like workouts or bending over repeatedly for the first 24 hours.

4. Avoid heat and alcohol
No hot tubs, saunas, or steamy showers for 24 to 48 hours. Alcohol and excess heat can increase swelling or bruising.

5. Wait before wearing makeup
If possible, skip makeup on the treated areas for the rest of the day. If you must apply it, be very gentle.

6. Be patient
Results typically start to show in 3 to 5 days, with full effects in 10 to 14 days. Don’t panic if you don’t see instant changes.

What to Avoid After Botox

• Lying flat for at least 4 to 6 hours
• Intense workouts or yoga for 24 hours
• Rubbing or massaging the face
• Facial treatments or chemical peels for at least 2 weeks
• Excessive heat exposure for 24 to 48 hours
