Botox injections can temporarily reduce wrinkles in the skin for a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
Millions of people have received natural-looking aesthetic benefits from Botox, which is why we’re proud to offer this injectable treatment at NorthLife Aesthetics & Wellness. But at our clinic, the treatment process doesn’t just begin and end with your appointment.
Our board-certified injectors can provide you with the personalized advice you need to effectively prepare for and recover from your Botox injections in Coeur d’Alene. Read on to learn more about the steps you can take to make the Botox injection process smoother.
Preparing for Your Injections
Before your appointment, sit down with one of our providers for a consultation. We discuss your medical history, go over your treatment goals, and answer any questions you may have about the process.
When preparing for Botox injections, drink lots of water. Proper hydration is a vital part of any aesthetic treatment.
You should also avoid using tobacco products for 48 hours before your treatment and any exfoliating skincare treatments for at least 2 weeks prior to your Botox session.
Although we clean the treatment area, please arrive with a clean face (no makeup or lotions) to avoid getting any in or around the injection sites.
If you’re ready, we can perform your Botox injections on the same day, or we can find another time that works best for you, leaving you the necessary time to prepare for treatment.
Recovering After Your Appointment
You won’t need to take any dedicated downtime following your Botox treatment, but you can take some steps to ensure you see the best results.
Afterward, we tell patients to avoid touching or rubbing the treatment area, and not to lie down for at least 4 hours. When you go to bed, we recommend sleeping face up for 1 to 3 days.
Additionally, we recommend using SPF 30 (or higher) sunscreen when in direct sunlight. Continue to stay hydrated, and refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for at least 2 days.
