2. Hold off on strenuous exercise — just for a couple of days
We’re all for fitness, but post-Botox, it’s wise to skip strenuous exercise for at least 24–48 hours.
Why? Elevated blood circulation and intense physical activity can spread the product beyond the intended area, weakening the effectiveness of the treatment. That includes cardio, weights, and even vigorous facial exercises.
Stick to gentle walking and light movement, and let your Botox settle in peace.
3. Protect your results with SPF — every single day
One of the quickest ways to undo your results? Skin damage from the sun.
UV rays accelerate collagen loss, impact skin elasticity, and can trigger the reappearance of wrinkles faster than you’d think. Daily SPF helps maintain your skin appearance and supports the longevity of your injectable treatment.
Opt for broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every single day — rain or shine.
4. Keep up with your appointments (your muscles will thank you)
Like going to the gym or following a healthy diet, Botox benefits from consistency.
With regular sessions, your muscle strength adapts, and over time, you may find you need less product or less frequent visits. We typically recommend a follow-up treatment every 3–4 months, depending on:
- Your facial movements and expressions
- Your metabolism
- How long your skin holds results over a period of time
We’ll create a personalised treatment plan to suit your aesthetic goals and skin types.
5. Back it up with the right skincare
Think of Botox as treating the cause (i.e. muscle activity) and skincare as treating the surface.
Support your results with a smart skincare routine, including:
- Hyaluronic acid – to hydrate and plump skin cells
- Peptides – to stimulate collagen production
- Retinol – to improve skin quality and refine texture
- Vitamin C – for brightness and antioxidant protection
- A gentle facial cleanser – to maintain a healthy barrier
Just wait a few days post-treatment before introducing actives.
6. Support your skin from the inside out
What happens on the inside shows on the outside. And when it comes to Botox, lifestyle is a key factor in longer-lasting effects. Here’s what helps:
- Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration
- Avoid smoking – it impairs healing and breaks down collagen
- Limit alcohol – it dehydrates and disrupts blood vessels
- Sleep well – rest supports skin renewal
- Manage stress levels – cortisol accelerates ageing
- Follow a healthy lifestyle – rich in omega-3s, leafy greens, and antioxidants
- Simple habits = longer-lasting skin confidence.
7. Consider combining Botox with other skin-boosting treatments
For even better outcomes, Botox can be part of a multi-step plan. We often recommend pairing it with other cosmetic treatments to address surface texture, volume, and overall radiance. Popular combinations include:
- Skin boosters – to hydrate and support skin elasticity
- Microneedling – for texture and collagen stimulation
- Facial fillers (like lip filler or tear troughs) – to balance volume with hyaluronic-based fillers
This integrative approach targets both muscle activity and skin concerns, giving you more complete, long-lasting results.
