Cosmetic doctor from The Body Clinic: "To ensure that the botulinum toxin is absorbed more quickly, the advice is to actively contract your muscles a few times after the treatment."
Frowning, winking, or looking surprised. "The type of movement depends on the treatment. Frowning for your frown lines, winking in the case of crow's feet, and looking surprised if you've just had your forehead wrinkles treated with Botox."
Faster results
That Botox is absorbed more quickly by moving your face does not mean you will see results sooner. "It still takes 2 to 14 days before you see the effect of the treatment. Moving only reduces the chance of complications." If the Botox is absorbed more quickly, it can spread less easily. "As long as the Botox has not yet been absorbed, it could potentially spread to another muscle group. But even if you don't tense your muscles after the treatment, the chance of that is still minimal."
"There are even studies that show that Botox that is not absorbed within 4 hours is broken down by your body and rendered ineffective.**"
Looking surprised
So it's really not necessary to walk around with a surprised face constantly after the treatment. "You can also overdo it. You certainly don't have to actively tense your facial muscles a lot. That will only give you a headache. It's more a matter of consciously frowning a few times right after the treatment." So do move your face actively, but keep other sporting activities to a minimum. Monique: "Running, cycling, body pump, and to be safe, don't stand on your head, to prevent any risk of Botox spreading."
