Aftercare
Aftercare following Botox is just as important as the treatment itself, helping to ensure the best possible results and reducing the risk of complications. Simple steps such as avoiding strenuous exercise, keeping upright for a few hours, and not rubbing the treated area allow the Botox to settle evenly. Proper aftercare not only enhances the longevity of your results but also supports a smooth, natural-looking finish.
