Post-Injectables Care
Simple aftercare for Botox, Dysport, filler, and Kybella—so you can protect your results and feel your best.
Botox / Dysport post-care.
Botox results appear within 7 days, with full effects visible after 2 weeks. Treatment typically lasts 3–4 months clinically. Immediately after treatment: avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for 2 days; Arnica and bromelain supplements may help reduce inflammation; some redness is normal; bruising may occur and may persist up to a week; and limit alcohol consumption on injection day.
24 hours post-treatment: if the forehead was treated, avoid hats or headbands. Skip hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, tanning beds, and workouts for 24 hours. Don’t vigorously wash or scrub the treatment area, including facials, massages, or exfoliating treatments. Avoid facials and massages for 2 weeks.
Filler post-care.
⚠ DO NOT FLY WITHIN 48 HOURS OF FILLER TREATMENT.
Results appear immediately, though optimal results develop over 2–4 weeks as swelling subsides and the filler settles. Most fillers last 9–12 months, with some lasting up to 2 years. Regular touch-ups help maintain your appearance.
Immediately post-treatment: no makeup for 6 hours; no workouts or yoga for 24–48 hours; apply ice gently for short periods (max 10 minutes per area); sleep elevated on several pillows; Arnica may accelerate bruise healing; and Benadryl or Tylenol can address itching or swelling. For 2 weeks, avoid massaging the injection area, facials, massages, waxing, laser treatments, and extreme temperatures such as tanning beds, hot tubs, and saunas.
Kybella post-care.
What to expect
Have ibuprofen and antihistamines available. Expect swelling, bruising, and redness lasting under 5 days—up to 14 days for some people.
Ice application
Use fabric-lined ice packs or wrap plastic packs in thin towels. Apply 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off to avoid frostbite. Use a cold compress for 20 minutes per hour, for up to 3 days.
Activity & sleep
Avoid strenuous activity for 3 days. Sleep with your head elevated on 2–3 pillows. Don’t scratch, pick, or massage the injection site.
