Adjust activities according to the treated area
After trapezius treatment, avoid carrying heavy bags or exercises that strain the shoulders. After calf treatment, avoid wearing high heels, hiking, or intense lower-body workouts for about 1–2 weeks.
Avoid massaging the treated area too firmly
For about a week after treatment, avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area strongly, or receiving facial/body massages that could cause the injected Botox to spread.
Avoid heat exposure
Botox can be sensitive to heat. To maintain its effect, refrain from activities that stimulate sweat production, such as saunas, hot baths, or intense exercise, for about a week.
Refrain from alcohol and smoking
Since these can trigger inflammation and worsen bruising or swelling, it is recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking for 3–7 days after the procedure.
Does trapezius Botox really help relieve shoulder pain?
Yes, it is highly effective not only for aesthetic purposes but also for therapeutic reasons. Relaxing overly tense and tight trapezius muscles with Botox can improve blood circulation, helping to alleviate chronic neck and shoulder pain and stiffness.
Will calf Botox affect walking?
It does not interfere with normal walking. Calf Botox is selectively injected into the superficial, protruding "bulky" calf muscles (gastrocnemius) that affect appearance, without significantly impacting gait. In the initial days after treatment, you may feel mild soreness or heaviness, and intense activities like hiking or running may cause your legs to fatigue more quickly than usual.
I feel a temporary loss of strength in the treated area.
Yes, this can happen. Since Botox works by relaxing the muscles, a temporary reduction in strength in the treated area is a natural reaction. This is especially common after arm or thigh treatments and usually resolves within a few days to 1–2 weeks as your body adapts. If symptoms are severe or persist, please contact the clinic.
BODY BOTOX
Body Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into overdeveloped muscles to reduce their volume and smooth out body lines. By relaxing unnecessary muscle contractions, it helps refine uneven contours and create a naturally slimmer, more balanced silhouette. At DERNA, we provide precise, customized treatments that take into account both the movement of each muscle group and the overall body balance.
