Post-Treatment
Exercise should be avoided for 4 hours after treatment, and the area should not be massaged for three days.
You should remain in an upright position for 4 hours following treatment to limit the spread of the substance at the injection site.
There is a particular risk of eyelid or eyebrow complications should you have pressure on the area treated such as placing your face in the breathing hole on a physio or massage couch. This should be avoided for at least 2 weeks.
When you feel the muscle relaxing (4-10 days) gently massage the area with your regular moisturiser twice a day. Please remember, that the treatment will usually only last 3-4 months and movement will start to return anytime
