What To Do After Your Botox or Xeomin Appointment ​

Bumps or Swelling at the Injection Site:  These usually go away within 30 minutes as the product settles. Please don’t be massaging or touching the area.

Mild Headaches: Some experience slight headaches post-treatment—this should subside within 36 hours. If needed, take Tylenol (avoid aspirin or ibuprofen).

Bruising: If bruising occurs, it should fade within a few days to a week. Avoid alcohol until the bruising disappears. You can gently apply makeup to cover any marks.

Tenderness or Redness: Apply a cool compress in short intervals to reduce discomfort. Keep the skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free product.

Itching or Skin Sensitivity: Itching may occur due to alcohol prep before injection. Apply hydrocortisone 1% with Aquaphor® or Vaseline® as needed. An oral antihistamine like Benadryl®, Allegra®, or Claritin® can help if necessary.
