Botox

To help ensure the best results and minimize any side effects, please follow these guidelines before your Botox appointment:

1. For 5-7 days before your treatment, avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and certain herbal supplements (like ginkgo biloba). This helps reduce the risk of bruising.
2. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before your appointment. These can increase the risk of bruising or swelling.
3. Refrain from harsh skin treatments, such as chemical peels, laser treatments, or waxing, in the week before your Botox appointment to prevent irritation or sensitivity.
4. Arrive at your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face if possible. This helps maintain a sterile environment and allows for accurate assessment of your natural muscle movements.
5. Having a light meal before your appointment can help you feel more comfortable, especially if you’re nervous about the procedure.
6. If you have any recent medical conditions, infections, or allergies, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform us, as these factors can affect your suitability for Botox.

Following these steps will help set you up for a smooth experience and optimal results. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out before your appointment.

To ensure the best results and reduce the risk of side effects, please follow these aftercare guidelines:

1. Avoid lying down or bending over excessively for at least 4 hours after your treatment. This helps prevent the Botox from migrating to other areas.
2. Refrain from touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the injection sites for at least 24 hours to allow the Botox to settle into the targeted muscles.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, and other forms of heat exposure for 24 hours post-treatment, as increased circulation can cause the Botox to spread.
4. Try not to apply makeup for at least 24 hours to minimize the risk of infection.
5. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours after treatment, as they can increase the chance of bruising.
6. Wait at least 2 weeks before scheduling any facial treatments, such as massages, facials, or chemical peels, to avoid disturbing the treated areas.
7. Minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and should subside within a few days. Applying a gentle, cool compress can help with any discomfort.
8. Botox results can take up to 7-14 days to fully develop. If you have any follow-up concerns or questions about your results, feel free to reach out.
