The decision to have Botox is a huge one as it can have a drastic transformation on your whole appearance. Here are the do’s and don’ts of Botox:
Dos
Make sure you are being treated by a trained medical professional
Inform of any allergies or medication you
are taking as some antibiotics and drugs may interfere with the action of Botox Remain upright for at least 4 hours after a Botox injection Be aware that some tenderness, bruising, temporary headaches can occur after the treatment
Don’ts
Use Botox if you’re pregnant or breast- feeding Take ibuprofen, aspirin or vitamin E for 24 hours after injection Don’t take any exercise for at least four
hours after a treatment as lying down or bending down could cause the Botox to spread to other areas, which could lead to unwanted side effects like droopiness or double vision
