Full-face Botox treatments are common and usually work great because of how they perform over fine lines and wrinkles for anyone that wants to look younger. Ecla Clinic in Dubai provides complete face Botox solutions, all of which are tailored to individual requirements and a natural effect. But the success of a Botox treatment is more than just the work done in those few minutes, it requires us to stick closely to recommendations post-treatment and avoid some common mistakes that could prevent your skin from receiving all benefits.

However, before reaching these goals, it's important to avoid common mistakes following full face Botox in Dubai. We present this guide along with suggestions on how you can get the best results of smoother and younger-looking skin.

1.   Rubbing or Touching the Treated Area

Rubbing or touching the treated areas is one of the biggest mistakes that patients do after they get a full face Botox in Dubai. This might be a normal instinct for someone to massage the injection site right after Botox is administered. Doing this will only spread the solution into other areas and cause problems such as ‘droopy eyelids’ or muscles relaxing differently in some region, which clearly should not relax.

Why is it a problem?

Botox targets different facial tissues. Pressing on the injection sites can dislocate the Botox, potentially causing unintended weakness or slight paralysis in some areas.

What to do instead?

The most important instruction to follow is to avoid touching desired areas for at least 24 hours after a procedure. They include everything from cleansing or makeup to sleeping on your face. If you must clean your face, gently pat it without applying any pressure.

2.   Engaging in Strenuous Exercise

While physical exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, you need to avoid it after getting botox. Performing vigorous exercises like running, weightlifting, or high-intensity workouts immediately after a full-face botox treatment can elevate your heart rate and blood flow, which might diffuse the botox, leading it to break down faster.

Why is it a problem?

Increased blood flow can affect how the Botox settles in your muscles, potentially decreasing the longevity and effectiveness of the treatment. Even sweating and wiping your face in the course of exercise can add pressure where you have had work carried out, leading to difficulties.

What to do instead?

Make sure you allow your body to rest after the treatment. After your treatment, it is advised to refrain from any vigorous exercise for 24-48 hours. Keep light activities like walking or gentle stretching, but anything that breaks the heart rate should be held back.

3.   Lying Down Too Soon

One of the critical matters to consider is not to lay down for approximately 4-6 hours after receiving Botox injections. This might be a nitpicky detail, but the way you are holding your head can determine where the Botox will land in your facial muscles.

Why is it a problem?

Lying down after you have had Botox can cause the toxin to transfer, thus resulting in unintended results such as droopy eyelids or uneven facial expressions.

What to do instead?

Remain erect for at least 4-6 hours after the procedure. If possible, use this time to complete light activities that keep you upright, such as reading, working at a desk, or watching TV. When it’s time to sleep, try to rest on your back with your head elevated to prevent any unnecessary pressure on your face.

4.   Avoid Applying Makeup or Skincare Products Immediately after Botox

I can understand the desire to keep your daily skincare or makeup routine after a Botox session, but beware of that instinct. Several cosmetics and skincare products contain an ingredient that requires rubbing or massaging the skin to apply, which can disrupt your Botox.

Why is it a problem?

General movement, which specifically includes moving the skin by pressing or pulling on it, can disrupt how your Botox sets. Ingredients in your skincare products can also irritate the area or interact negatively with botox.

What to do instead?

Wait at least 24 hours before wearing makeup or applying any skincare products to your face. If you restart your routine, use very gentle, non-irritating products with no aggressive massaging of the skin.

5.   Drinking Alcohol

You should avoid drinking alcohol before and after having your full face botox in Dubai. Alcohol thins the blood, which increases the chances of bruising at injection sites. It also may take more time in healing the process and be much less comfortable for you.

Why is it a problem?

Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising, but it also dehydrates you, which can counteract the benefits of Botox, as hydrated skin typically looks smoother and more youthful.

What to do instead?

Refrain from alcohol 24 hours before and following your treatment. Ensuring you drink lots of water will also help your skin heal more quickly and maximize the efficacy of your Botox results.

6.   Ignoring Follow-Up Appointments

Also, make sure that you are in contact with your provider after receiving a full-face Botox treatment for follow-up assessments. A Botox injection is not a one-and-done deal for those who work with it, and you will keep coming back to the injecting session until your botox wears off.

Why is it a problem?

Botox results last for only 3-4 months; they are not permanent. It's important for you to be able to maintain this smooth, youthful appearance after your treatment, and without the proper follow-up, these effects will eventually wear off.

What to do instead?

Book regular follow-up appointments with your full face botox provider in Dubai to evaluate results and schedule your next session. Fading these things from your eyes may take a couple of weeks, but with regular maintenance you can get the results to keep looking like yourself.

7.   Exposure to extreme heat

While hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms sound like great relaxation therapies after a procedure of full face botox, applying your skin to extreme heat too soon will only lead to complications.

Why is it a problem?

The heat can cause blood flow to rush and may make the botox out of where it's intended. Furthermore, it causes inflammation as well as swelling on the treated areas due to heat exposure.

What to do instead?

Stay away from heat for the first 24 hours after your treatment. Additionally, that means hot showers, saunas, and even basking in the sun for long periods of time. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and apply sunscreen to protect your skin.

8.   Skipping Sunscreen

Sunscreen should always be a priority, but is even more important following Botox injectable. Post-procedure skin is more sensitive to UV rays and hence can get sun damage if not applied with sunscreen.

Why is it a problem?

And with the new benefits of Botox, you want to protect your investment by preventing sun damage, which increases the risk of hyperpigmentation as well as premature aging and decreases effectiveness in results.

What to do instead?

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single day, no matter the weather. Reapply it through the day and certainly if you are outdoors.
