*Avoid the rubbing the area where botox was injected, as it can irritate injection site, prolonging redness and even causing bruising. *Avoid lying on your face for at least four hours after your injections. * Refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. If you need to move, stick with a leisurely walk. * Stay away from alcohol for 24 hours, because it thins the blood and increases the risk of bleeding and bruising following injection. * Avoid taking blood thinners. * Do not wash your face or apply moisturizer at least six hours following treatment. *Avoid heat and direct sunlight for 24 hours, since both heat and sunlight can cause your skin to become inflamed, resulting in chronic redness and swelling. When you do go outside, protect your skin by wearing a hat and/or sunscreen.
