What Happens After Botox?

So, You Got Botox—Now What?

You’ve done it. You took the step, got Botox or fillers, and now you’re standing in front of the mirror, wondering when the magic will happen.

Spoiler alert: it’s coming, and it’s going to be good.

But let’s talk about what you can expect, how to make sure your results last, and what not to do after your appointment.

What to Expect in the First Few Days

Botox doesn’t work instantly—so don’t freak out if you don’t see a change right away. Here’s the typical timeline:

✅ First 24 Hours: Minimal swelling or redness (if any). Avoid touching or rubbing the area.

✅ Day 2-3: The Botox starts settling in. You might notice slight changes, but full results take time.

✅ Day 7-14: Maximum effect! Lines soften, your skin looks refreshed, and the results fully kick in.

💡 Fillers? Those give immediate volume, but minor swelling and bruising can happen.

Don’t panic — it fades quickly.

How Long Do Results Last?

🔹 Botox: Expect 3-6 months before needing a touch-up. Regular maintenance keeps results looking fresh.

🔹 Fillers: Depending on the area and product, they last 6 months to 2 years.

Factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and skincare routine can affect longevity.

But don’t worry — we’ll track your results and adjust as needed.

Post-Treatment Care: The Do’s and Don’ts

❌ DON’T

• No rubbing or massaging the area for 24 hours.
• No intense workouts for 24 hours (sweat can interfere with the settling process).
• No alcohol or blood thinners for a day to avoid extra bruising.
• No sleeping face-down the first night.

✅ DO

• Stay upright for a few hours post-treatment.
• Keep your skin hydrated and follow your usual skincare routine.
• Wear SPF to protect your results.
• Be patient—let the results fully develop.

Simple, right? A few small adjustments and your results will be flawless.

When to Book a Touch-Up?

The best way to maintain results is preventative treatment. Waiting until everything fully wears off means starting from scratch—staying ahead of it keeps things looking smooth and natural.

🔹 Botox: Touch-ups every 3-4 months for consistent results.

🔹 Fillers: Typically last longer, but minor adjustments can be made as needed.

Botox wears off naturally over time. Fillers can be adjusted if needed.

Give it a few hours, just to be safe.
