No Downtime Needed: The Convenience of BOTOX® Treatments

For men and women looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and achieve a refreshed, youthful look without a major time commitment or lengthy recovery period, BOTOX can be an excellent choice. At The DeRosa Center in Boston, MA, our team of skilled aesthetic injectors, under the guidance of double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa, provides BOTOX treatments that can fit seamlessly into your busy schedule.

Whether you're targeting fine lines, Crow's feet, or frown lines, BOTOX allows individuals to achieve noticeable results without the need for downtime. In fact, most patients can return to work and other obligations almost immediately after BOTOX injections. Take a closer look here at what to expect after getting BOTOX, including when you can reapply makeup, when you may start noticing your results, and more.

How long does it take to get BOTOX?

One of the many compelling benefits of BOTOX is how quick and easy the treatment process is. A typical BOTOX session takes only about 10 -15 minutes, making it perfect for those with busy schedules and fast-paced lives. Most patients can receive BOTOX on their lunch break and return to work or other activities right after, as there's no recovery time needed.

How soon does BOTOX start working?

Patients often begin to see an improvement in their fine lines and wrinkles within just a few days after getting BOTOX. Optimal results of BOTOX are typically visible around 7 – 10 days post-injection. The results are subtle yet effective, giving patients a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance without looking "overdone." BOTOX results generally last about 3 – 4 months, after which time a quick maintenance session can help you keep your refreshed look consistently over time.

Can you combine BOTOX plus fillers?

Yes, combining BOTOX with other cosmetic injectables — including injectable dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® — can help further enhance your results and balance your overall appearance. While BOTOX is highly effective for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers can restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. At The DeRosa Center, we offer a range of fillers that work well with BOTOX, allowing our team to create a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns in one session.

Is there anything you can't do after BOTOX?

While there is no specific recovery time required after BOTOX, there are a few post-BOTOX care tips to keep in mind, including:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after injection
• Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area
• Stay upright for at least four hours after the injections
• Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first 1 – 2 nights after injection
• Wait up to 12 hours to reapply makeup after BOTOX, or as directed by our team
• Follow up with regular maintenance sessions as recommended

Because everyone's experience and situation are unique, our knowledgeable injectors will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help maximize your BOTOX results and keep you looking fresh and youthful for as long as possible.
