Guidelines to follow before and after botulinum toxin

This substance is administered by our qualified professional locally in the area you want to improve. Despite having an extremely wide safety margin, at UDEMAX GROUP we believe it is necessary to follow some guidelines before and after Botox.

Recommendations before and after Botox

Before treatment

We must have a good specialist in facial treatments, as the results depend on the patient’s musculature, the technique used and the skill of the doctor. For this reason, at GRUPO UDEMAX we have the best treatments at our centre with accredited professionals.

We should not hide anything from the doctor. The relationship must be one of trust in both directions, so you should not hide any details of your medical history to ensure that there are no contraindications (pregnancy, egg allergy or neuromuscular diseases are some of them).

Ask any questions you have about the procedure to the doctor who is treating you.

Do not drink alcohol in the days before the Botox injection.

After having Botox injections

Avoid massaging the treated area for the next 24 hours.

Do not use swimming pools or saunas, as they may reduce the effect of the treatment.

No strenuous physical exercise or exercise that makes you lie face down for 24 hours after treatment.

Do not lie flat for at least four hours after Botox treatment.

Do not consume large amounts of alcohol.

During the following fortnight we must exercise the area so that the Botox treatment is more effective.

Warnings of botulinum toxin treatment.

You should know that the treatment is not permanent and does not work the same on everyone. After three or four months you will notice how the effects gradually diminish and in five or six months they will disappear, so if you wish you can repeat the treatment.

If you want to maintain its effectiveness throughout the year, ask at Clinicas Udemax for the maintenance treatment.
