Maintain your refreshed look after Botox and anti-wrinkle treatments by following targeted aftercare steps. These simple practices at Alexandra Beauty Boutique in Horsham help lock in results, reduce downtime, and ensure smooth, natural-looking skin for months.
Immediate Aftercare (0–24 Hours)
The first day after your Botox and anti-wrinkle treatment is critical for preventing product migration and bruising.
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to treated areas
- Steer clear of tight headwear, hats, or glasses for at least four hours
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated to minimise swelling
- Skip intense workouts and alcohol to lower the risk of bruising
- Cleanse gently and refrain from applying heavy makeup
Days 2–14: Settling Period
During the two-week integration phase, maintain gentle habits to support lasting results from both Botox and anti-wrinkle injections.
- Do not indulge in saunas, hot tubs, or prolonged sunbathing for 48 hours
- Apply a cool compress for 10–15 minutes if redness or swelling appears
- Use a mild cleanser, hydrating moisturiser, and daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+
- Drink plenty of water and eat antioxidant-rich foods to promote skin recovery
- Continue avoiding vigorous facial massages or exfoliating treatments
Long-Term Maintenance for Lasting Results
Consistent routines at Alexandra Beauty Boutique will extend your Botox and anti-wrinkle outcomes well beyond the initial weeks.
- Schedule follow-up appointments every 3–4 months in Horsham to prevent wrinkle recurrence
- Incorporate gentle retinol or peptide serums at night once approved by your clinician
- Apply SPF 30+ each morning to protect against UV-induced collagen breakdown
- Manage stress, stay hydrated, and practise mindful facial expressions
- Complement treatments with professional skincare peels for enhanced glow
Handling Common Side Effects
Minor redness, tenderness, or bruising can accompany both Botox and anti-wrinkle injections. Here’s how to soothe them quickly.
- Continue using cold compresses on treated areas as needed
- Take paracetamol for mild headaches; avoid blood-thinning painkillers without clinical approval
- Monitor for uneven results or persistent swelling
