At High Point Medspa, we’re dedicated to helping you look and feel your best—naturally and effortlessly. Just had Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport? Wondering what comes next? We've got you covered with answers to the most common post-injection questions.
Q: What can I do if I feel a little discomfort after my injections?
A: Totally normal to feel a bit tender! Grab an ice pack and use it as needed to calm things down. If you’re still feeling some soreness, you can pop a Tylenol (that’s acetaminophen) or Motrin (Ibuprofen) to take the edge off. Oh, and here’s a pro tip: Arnicare topical or oral form is your friend! It’s a natural remedy that can help with any bruising or swelling. Use it as needed—it’s a game-changer.
Q: I’m a bit of a drama queen with my facial expressions. Can I keep frowning and smiling like usual?
A: Absolutely! Go ahead and make all the faces you want—frowning, smiling, raising those brows. It won’t mess with your results. In fact, it’s totally fine to move your face as usual right after treatment. Just be yourself!
Q: What about my daily routine? Can I shower or touch up my hair color?
A: Good news—you can shower the same day! Just use light pressure when washing your face or applying your skincare goodies. No need to be extra rough. And if you’re due for a hair color touch-up, go for it whenever you want. The treatment won’t interfere with your glam plans.
Q: I might’ve planned a little happy hour tonight. Is alcohol off-limits?
A: Nope, you’re in the clear! You can enjoy a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail after your appointment. Just don’t overdo it—we’re all about moderation, right?
Q: Okay, now the big one—what should I not do after my injections?
A: Great question! Let’s start with exercise—give it a rest for 3-4 hours. No sweaty workouts just yet; we want everything to settle in nicely. Also, skip the sauna for 24 hours—too much heat too soon isn’t ideal. And if you’re a makeup lover, hold off on applying anything over the injection sites for 24 hours to avoid irritation.
Q: I was thinking about booking a facial or waxing appointment this week. Thoughts?
A: Pump the brakes a little. No facials or facial massages for 48 hours, and no waxing or threading for 24 hours. We want to give your skin some time to chill out and avoid any unnecessary pressure or irritation around the treated areas.
Q: What if I need a touch-up or something feels off?
A: We’ve got you covered! Schedule a follow-up with us 10-14 days after your injections. It’s the perfect time to tweak anything if needed or address any concerns. Heads up, though—if you wait past 14 days for a touch-up, it might come with a small fee. And if anything pops up sooner—questions, concerns, whatever—call or text us at 201.618.5283. We’re here for you!
Q: Any other advice?
A: Just relax and enjoy the process! Toxin injections are all about subtle, beautiful results, and following these simple tips will help you get there. Ice it, take it easy for a day or two, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need us. You’re going to love the refreshed, natural look coming your way!
