What to Avoid Before Your Appointment
Before getting Botox, it’s important to avoid taking any aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication for approximately two days. Doing so helps protect you from potential bruising or swelling, which may otherwise increase with these medications.
What to Expect After Botox Injections
You may have made the informed decision to get Botox injections to treat your fine lines and wrinkles. However, what you may not yet know is what will happen after you receive the treatment.
When Will Results Appear?
The results of Botox injections typically begin to show 2–3 days after treatment, though this varies by individual. Between 3–7 days, the treated muscles start to relax, leading to a reduction in fine lines. Full results often take up to a month to appear and may last 3 to 4 months, with some patients seeing benefits for as long as 6 months.
Post-Treatment Instructions
These simple guidelines help prevent unwanted side effects and ensure the product stays precisely where it was placed. To ensure optimal results:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
- Refrain from lying down or bending over for 4 hours
- Do not press or massage the treated areas for at least 4 hours
Botox Recovery Time
One of the greatest benefits of Botox is the minimal recovery time. The procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive, so you can typically return to daily activities right away — as long as you follow the aftercare guidelines.

This is a common concern, but the so-called “frozen look” only happens when too much product is used or injections are performed incorrectly.
