What should you not do after a brow lift with botulinum toxin?
A brow lift with botulinum toxin is a popular and effective treatment that provides a fresh, open look. For an optimal result and safe recovery, it is important to avoid certain things after the treatment. In this blog, you can read exactly what you should not do.
1. Do not rub or massage around the treated zone
After a brow lift with botulinum toxin, it is important to leave the treated area alone for at least 24 hours. Rubbing or massaging can cause the botulinum toxin to move to unwanted areas, which can negatively affect the result.
2. Avoid lying flat for the first few hours
After the treatment, remain upright for at least 4 to 6 hours. Lying down or bending forward can affect the spreading of the botulinum toxin. Keep your body in an upright position so that the substance continues to work properly in the right place.
3. No make-up immediately after the treatment
Do not use make-up on or around the treated area for at least 12 hours. This prevents infections or irritation of the skin, and avoids unintended pressure on the treated area.
4. Avoid intensive sports and sweating
During the first 24 to 48 hours, it is important to avoid intensive sports. Sweating can negatively affect the effect of the botulinum toxin. Instead, choose light exercise such as walking.
5. No sauna, sunbed or hot shower
Avoid high temperatures for at least 48 hours after the treatment. Heat can increase blood circulation, which can influence the spreading of the botulinum toxin. This applies to saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds and even very hot showers.
6. Avoid alcohol consumption
Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and may influence the effect of the botulinum toxin. It is advisable not to drink alcohol 24 hours before and after the treatment.
7. Do not self-correct or touch if unsure
Does something not feel right or are you in doubt about the result? Always contact your practitioner instead of pressing, rubbing or correcting it yourself.
Finally
Following this advice ensures a beautiful, safe and long-lasting result from your brow lift with botulinum toxin. Do you have questions or are you experiencing unexpected side effects? Then always contact your treatment specialist.
