Tips to maintain the results of Botox®

 Botox®, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein that works by paralyzing the nerves to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face. The nerve communication is blocked when given Botox injections, causing the facial muscles to relax and giving your skin a smoother, younger-looking appearance.

If you’ve had Botox® injections or are considering having them, you know they are not a long-term fix. The duration of Botox®’s effects can vary from person to person and is usually three to six months. Since the results of Botox® are not permanent, we understand your desire to maintain your more youthful appearance for as long as feasible.

There are tips you can follow to prolong the results of your treatment. We’ll go into more detail about these tips in this blog post.

Botox can last longer using several post-treatment care tips:

  1. Choose the right doctor for your treatment

Botox® is a treatment that can only be given by a licensed doctor because it is a prescription drug. Selecting a plastic surgeon or dermatologist with extensive expertise will help safeguard you from harm or other unfavorable side effects. The right doctor will put in a lot of effort to maintain and maximize the noticeable results of your Botox® treatment.

More importantly, At Novomed we do not rely only on the Botox injection but do offer you the opportunity to improve your skin health quality, and reverse skin aging or reverse your skin ageing using other interventions such as stem cell therapy using your own fat, or laser phototherapy that stimulated your own stem cells through an intravenous simple tiny canula or using superficial peels or HydraFacial’s that keep a natural glow and enhance the Botox results for a long time. We can also easily reverse skin ageing at visible areas like your hands or your neck.

  1. Comply with the aftercare instructions

To ensure the best results, you should strictly adhere to the aftercare instructions given by your injector. These instructions may include refraining from strenuous activity for a predetermined amount of time, avoiding touching the treated area, and refraining from consuming alcohol or blood thinners. You can extend the life of your Botox® results by following these instructions.

  1. Stay hydrated

It is crucial to stay hydrated because it prevents the development of wrinkles and keeps your skin firm and healthy. On the other hand, dry skin can lose its suppleness and make some aging symptoms more obvious. We advise consuming 6 to 8 glasses of water per day to keep your face hydrated and revitalized between your Botox® treatments.

  1. Reduce sun exposure

The skin can become damaged and prematurely age, developing wrinkles and fine lines as a result of the sun’s harmful UV radiation. To preserve your results, you should exercise extra caution and avoid the sun for a few days after treatment, but you’ll also need to take preventative measures in the long run. Even on cloudy days, you should apply sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30.

  1. Follow a healthy lifestyle

You can maintain the results of Botox® by leading a healthy lifestyle. This entails maintaining a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, working out frequently, getting enough rest, and abstaining from smoking and consuming large amounts of alcohol. Living a healthy lifestyle can help you sustain the effects of Botox® by keeping your skin healthy and delaying the aging process.

  1. Consider doing touch-up treatments

The results of Botox® usually last between three and six months before gradually fading. You may require touch-up treatments every three to six months to keep your Botox® results. Small doses of Botox® are administered during touch-up treatments to maintain the results of the initial treatment. To preserve the effects of Botox®, it is crucial to talk about touch-up treatments with your doctor.

  1. Avoid doing excessive facial expressions

Although Botox® can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, it’s crucial to avoid making overly expressive facial gestures to preserve the results. Excessive muscle contraction brought on by dramatic facial expressions may result in new wrinkles and fine lines. Avoiding exaggerated facial movements will help you preserve the effects of Botox® and stop the development of aging symptoms.

  1. Use high-quality skincare products

You can keep the results of Botox® by using high-quality skincare products that help maintain the hydration, plumpness, and health of your skin. Antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and other ingredients that support healthy skin should be found in the products. However, your skin will be sensitive after your treatment, which is why you should wait at least 48 hours before applying any of these products.

  1. Be patient with the results

When it comes to preserving your Botox® results, patience is key. Botox®’s results might not be noticed right away, and you might need several sessions to see the intended results. Additionally, each person experiences the effects for a different amount of time. By exercising patience and following the tips provided in this blog post, you can guarantee that you will achieve long-lasting results.
