Dos and Don’ts for Skin Care with Botox, Fillers, and Cosmetic Treatments
Cosmetic treatments like Botox and fillers can enhance your look, but proper skin care is key to the best results. Here’s what to keep in mind before and after your procedure:
Before Treatment
- DO Choose a Certified Professional: Go with a board-certified practitioner to ensure safe and effective results.
- DO Avoid Blood-Thinners: Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and ibuprofen a few days before treatment to reduce bruising risk.
- DON’T Schedule Too Close to Events: Allow at least two weeks for potential bruising or swelling to subside.
Right After Treatment
- DO Follow Provider Instructions: Your practitioner’s guidance on care and restrictions is essential to follow.
- DON’T Rub or Massage: Avoid touching or massaging the area for 24-48 hours to prevent shifting.
- DON’T Exercise Right Away: Skip strenuous activities for 24 hours to reduce bruising and swelling.
Days After Treatment
- DO Use Gentle Products: Stick to mild cleansers and moisturizers; avoid harsh chemicals and exfoliants.
- DO Hydrate and Protect from the Sun: Drink water, keep skin moisturized, and use SPF to aid recovery.
- DON’T Use Retinoids or Alcohol: Skip active ingredients and alcohol for 24-48 hours to avoid irritation and inflammation.
Long-Term Care
- DO Schedule Maintenance Treatments: Botox and fillers are temporary; follow your provider’s recommendations for upkeep.
- DON’T Overdo It: For natural results, trust your provider’s guidance on timing and dosage.
Following these dos and don’ts will help you achieve a smooth recovery and the best possible results from your treatments!

How do Muscles Feel Pain
Your body needs to sense how long your muscles are to understand their position to help them function more efficiently. They have tiny sensory organs called muscle spindles. These are the sensory nerves that tell how long are short the muscle is worth it is quickly stretched.
Muscles have pain receptors in the membranes that surround them as well as where blood vessels course in the muscle. Research published in 2010 sheds new light onto how pain is felt in relation to these muscle spindles. When the muscle is injured such as an overload or a sprain strain these pain receptors are activated. Damage to these filaments can contribute to chronic muscle pain.
