Patients can typically return to work immediately after receiving neurotoxin injections such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. However, it’s advised to wait 4-6 hours before lying down and 24 hours before engaging in strenuous exercise to optimize results. Temporary bruising, swelling, and soreness may occur for one to two weeks post-treatment.
Results usually become visible within 3-14 days after injections. We recommend waiting the full 14 days for the results to fully set in. After 14 days, additional units can be added if needed. Neurotoxin results typically last 3-4 months, and maintenance treatments every 3 months are recommended for optimal results.
