How long after getting wrinkle-relaxing injections can you apply a face mask?
Disease description:
It's been about four to five days since I received my wrinkle-relaxing injections. My skin has felt a bit dry these past couple of days, and I'd like to apply a facial mask. I'm wondering how long I should wait after wrinkle-relaxing injections before using a face mask?

In general, it is safe to apply facial masks 3 to 5 days after receiving wrinkle-relaxing injections, although the exact timing should be determined based on the individual's recovery progress. If swelling resolves within about 3 days after the injection, the patient may begin using face masks. However, if recovery is slower, it is advisable to wait until both the swelling and injection sites have fully healed—typically around 5 days—before applying a mask.
