Your first Botox appointment in Limassol: what to expect
A simple guide by Dr Adriana M. Ozery, Doctor Picasso, Limassol
Thinking about Botox for the first time? It is completely normal to feel a little nervous. Here is a step-by-step look at what happens before, during and after your first appointment at Doctor Picasso.
1. The consultation
Every first visit starts with a medical consultation with Dr Adriana M. Ozery. We talk about what bothers you, look at how your face moves, review your medical history and agree on a plan. If Botox is not the right option for you, we will tell you honestly. Consultations are available in the clinic or online.
2. Before your appointment
If you can, avoid alcohol for 24 hours and, unless a doctor has prescribed them, blood-thinning painkillers such as aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days beforehand, as they can make bruising more likely. Come with clean skin, or we will gently cleanse it for you.
3. The treatment itself
The treatment is quick — usually 10–20 minutes. Botox is placed with a very fine needle into a few precise points. Most people describe it as a small pinch, and a numbing cream can be used if you prefer.
4. Straight after
You may see small marks at the injection points, which usually fade within an hour. Most people go straight back to work or their day.
For the rest of the day, stay upright for about four hours, avoid touching or massaging the area, and skip the gym, saunas and hot yoga until the next day.
5. When you will see results
Botox does not work instantly. You will start to notice a softer, more relaxed look after 3–5 days, with the full effect at around two weeks. Results usually last around 3–4 months.
6. Your review appointment
We like to see you again at about two weeks to check your result and make any small adjustments, so you leave looking refreshed — and still like yourself.
