Aftercare

Your treatment at Tox Medspa by Nurse Dallas is only one part of your results. Proper aftercare helps protect your investment, supports healing, and ensures the most natural, long lasting outcome possible.

Every treatment plan is personalized, and your provider will review specific aftercare instructions with you before you leave. The following guidelines are meant to support your recovery and optimize results across services.

Aftercare

Injectable treatments require gentle care in the hours and days following your appointment.

Immediately After Treatment

  • Avoid touching, massaging, or applying pressure to treated areas unless directed
  • Remain upright for at least four hours
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas, or hot yoga for 24 hours
  • Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal and should resolve quickly

 

Bruising and Swelling

  • Apply a cold compress if needed, using light pressure only
  • Avoid alcohol, blood thinning medications, and supplements for 24 to 48 hours unless prescribed
  • Bruising can occur and typically resolves within several days

 

Results Timeline

  • Neuromodulator results begin to appear within a few days and fully develop over one to two weeks
  • Dermal filler results are visible immediately and continue to refine as swelling settles

 

If you notice increasing pain, unusual swelling, or anything that feels concerning, please contact the office promptly.

Your skin may be more sensitive following professional treatments. Proper care supports healing and protects results.

 

General Skin Care

  • Avoid active ingredients such as retinol, exfoliating acids, and scrubs for several days unless instructed otherwise
  • Use gentle cleansers and hydrating products
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and apply broad spectrum sunscreen daily

 

Redness and Sensitivity

  • Mild redness or tightness is normal and temporary
  • Avoid excessive heat, steam, or sweating for 24 to 48 hours
  • Do not pick or peel the skin

 

Chemical Peels

  • Visible peeling may occur depending on the treatment
  • Allow skin to shed naturally without exfoliating
  • Keep skin well moisturized and protected from the sun

Treatments such as PRP or Sculptra work gradually by stimulating your body’s natural processes.

  • Results develop over weeks to months
  • Follow any massage or movement instructions provided by your injector
  • Maintain hydration and a consistent skincare routine

 

Patience is key with regenerative treatments. Improvement continues with time and proper care.

Brow and lash treatments require minimal aftercare but benefit from a few precautions.

 

  • Avoid water, steam, or makeup on the area for 24 hours
  • Do not rub or manipulate brows or lashes
  • Follow any product recommendations provided

 

Results typically last several weeks and fade naturally.

To extend the life of your spray tan and ensure even fading:

 

  • Avoid water, sweating, or tight clothing until your first rinse
  • Rinse at the time instructed by your provider
  • Moisturize daily and avoid exfoliating products

 

Pat skin dry rather than rubbing
