Botox Patient Instructions

What to do after your Botox treatment

  • You may have bruising, swelling, mild discomfort, and/or a headache following the treatment. You may use an ice pack on the treated area and take Tylenol for the discomfort.
  • Do not massage the treated area as this may diffuse the Botox into surrounding muscles, causing unwanted effects.
  • Call our office at (206) 505-1234 if you have any rashes or persistent abnormal swelling lasting 3 or more days.
  • Botox typically takes effect 3 to 7 days following treatment. Its effectiveness increases during the first week and lasts approximately 3 to 6 months.
  • Some patients have a heavy sensation in their forehead during the first week. This is normal and temporary.
