What Not to Do After Botox: Naples, FL Aftercare Guide
After getting Botox at Michael Varveris MD in Naples, FL, proper aftercare is essential for achieving smooth, natural results. Many patients want to know exactly what not to do after Botox—because the first 24 hours influence your final outcome.
What Botox Is & Why Aftercare Matters

Benefits of Following Aftercare
- Better, longer-lasting results
- Lower risk of side effects
- More precise outcome
