Recently planning to go to the hospital for botulinum toxin injections to reduce wrinkles, but I don't know much about this treatment. I'd like to ask, what should I pay attention to after receiving botulinum toxin injections?

After receiving Botox injections for wrinkle reduction, patients should first avoid pressing the injection sites to prevent swelling or bleeding. They should also refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated areas and avoid getting the injection sites wet too soon to reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, patients should avoid making exaggerated facial expressions and engaging in strenuous exercise for at least seven days after the injection to prevent any adverse effects.
