To properly care for the treatment area after Botox, here are some guidelines to follow:

  • Maintain an upright position for 4 hours after the procedure.
  • Do not rub or massage the injection site for 4 hours post-treatment, including avoiding facials.
  • Refrain from engaging in strenuous physical activity for 24 hours.
  • Limit alcohol consumption before and after treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
  • After the procedure, you may notice small bumps under the skin, but they should disappear as your body absorbs the product.
  • Apply an ice pack and use Arnica topically to help reduce bruising.
  • If needed, take acetaminophen to ease any pain.
  • Avoid scratching, massaging, or touching the injection site. Redness or discomfort is common after an injection and should go away in a few hours to days. Please contact our office if these symptoms persist for more than three days.

6 to 10 Hours After the Treatment

  • Avoid exposure to intense heat such as sunbathing, tanning beds, saunas, hot tubs, or hot wax until the swelling and redness have subsided.
  • To help reduce swelling, consider taking an antihistamine during the day, such as Zyrtec or Claritin, and Benadryl at night.
  • If there’s a noticeable bump, you can gently massage the area. Some areas may feel firm, but they should soften and settle within 1-2 weeks.
  • You can apply sunscreen and makeup and clean the treated area with a gentle cleanser

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that enhance or restore the volume, fullness, and contours of the face and other body areas. Manufacturers typically make them from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, or other materials that smooth and plump the skin.

Dermal fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and facial hollows. They restore volume to sunken cheeks and enhance the lips and other facial features. They can also improve the appearance of scars and other skin imperfections.

The cost of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the amount used, and the location of the practice — the average price ranges from $500 to $1,500 per treatment.

The main difference between Botox and dermal fillers lies in their uses: Doctors use Botox to temporarily relax the muscles, causing wrinkles, whereas they use dermal fillers to restore volume and fullness to the skin. Botox typically lasts 3-6 months, while dermal fillers can last from 6 – months to 2 years.
Medical professionals use lip fillers, which are injectable dermal fillers, to add volume and definition to the lips. Manufacturers typically make these fillers from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the skin, to enhance the size and shape of the lips.
Manufacturers specifically design lip fillers for use on the lips, whereas they create other injectables, like Botox, to treat wrinkles and fine lines on other parts of the face. Each injectable type has a different composition and purpose, and you must choose the right one to achieve your desired outcome.
 
Lip fillers provide a non-surgical way to enhance the lips’ appearance by adding volume and creating a fuller, more defined look. You can also use them to balance asymmetrical lips or accentuate the cupid’s bow and corners of the mouth.
 
The duration of lip filler results can vary, but on average, they last between 6 and 9 months.
 
Like any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with lip fillers. These can include swelling, bruising, pain at the injection site, and rare but more severe side effects such as infection and allergic reactions.
The type of filler, the amount you need, and the clinic’s location determine the cost of lip fillers. Typically, you can expect to pay between $450 to $800 per treatment.

During the treatment, the injector will numb the area and carefully inject the filler into the lips. After the treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but these should subside within a few days. You should avoid extreme heat, cold, and any activities that could cause excessive swelling for the first 24 hours after the treatment.
