Aftercare for Jaw Slimming

Thank you for trusting Skin Medical with your jaw slimming treatment. We hope your experience was smooth and comfortable. To help you achieve the best possible results and ensure a good recovery, please review the following aftercare guidelines carefully.

Common side effects following jaw slimming treatment may include: 

• Mild redness or swelling at the injection site
• Tenderness or slight discomfort in the treated area 
• Bruising (rare, but temporary) 
• Headache (in some cases, typically mild) 

These side effects are normal and should subside within a few hours to a few days. If you experience anything more severe or prolonged, please reach out to us. 

✅ Avoid Rubbing or Massaging the Area: Do not rub, massage, or apply pressure to the treated areas for 24 hours after your treatment to allow the Botox to settle in properly. 
✅ Exercise & Physical Activity: Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours following your treatment. This will help avoid disrupting the Botox and allow it to work effectively. 
✅ Heat Exposure: Avoid exposure to heat, such as saunas, hot tubs, or tanning beds, for 24 hours post-treatment to ensure the best results. 
✅ Headache: Some patients may experience a mild headache after the procedure. If this happens, paracetamol can be taken as needed. 
✅ Avoid Anti-inflammatory Medications: Refrain from taking Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Nurofen, or other anti-inflammatory medications, as well as alcohol, for 24 hours after your procedure to reduce the risk of bruising. 
✅ Bumps & Bruising: Small bumps or marks at the injection site are common but should resolve within a few hours. Bruising may occur, but it’s rare and temporary. If it does happen, it can often be covered with makeup. 
✅ Results Timing: Botox for jaw slimming typically takes 3-7 days to show initial results, with the full effect usually visible within 2 weeks. The results of jaw slimming typically last between 3 to 6 months, and treatment may need to be repeated to maintain the desired effect.
