Introduction You’ve had your anti-wrinkle injection treatment, and you’re on your way to a refreshed look. Now, it’s essential to follow a few simple aftercare steps to ensure your results settle beautifully and last as long as possible. At Dr Mirali Aesthetics, we provide clear aftercare advice to all our patients across South London, including those at our Streatham and Sydenham clinics.
The First 24 Hours: Dos and Don’ts
- DO gently exercise the treated muscles (e.g., frown, smile, raise eyebrows) for the first hour to help the product settle.
- DO NOT rub or massage the treated areas. This is the most important rule to prevent the Botox from spreading.
- DO NOT lie down or engage in strenuous exercise for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
- DO NOT apply makeup for 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.
- DO NOT consume alcohol or blood-thinning medication (like Ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours.
Tips for Long-Term Maintenance While anti-wrinkle injections are not a permanent solution, you can help prolong the results with these tips:
- Avoid Extreme Heat: Saunas, sunbeds, and intense sun exposure can shorten the life of your treatment.
- Stay Hydrated & Healthy: Good hydration and a healthy lifestyle support overall skin health and can help maintain your results.
- Regular Top-Up Appointments: To keep your lines smooth, schedule follow-up appointments with Dr Mirali every 3-4 months. Consistency is key!

FAQs Is it normal to have a small bump after the injection? Yes, small bumps that look like a mosquito bite are common and will subside within an hour or so. When can I have my next treatment? It is recommended to wait at least 3 months between sessions to prevent resistance to the product.
