THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR YOUR AMAZING RESULTS!
How can I prepare for my Botox or Dysport appointment?
- You may want to avoid supplements and medications that thin the blood (NSAIDs like Advil, fish oil, turmeric, etc. unless otherwise indicated by your doctor) and alcohol for 2-3 days prior to your appointment. Never stop a medication prescribed to you without consulting the person who prescribed it.
- Come in with a clean, make-up free face. We recommend making sure you’ve eaten before your appointment and hydrate throughout the day – it helps with the nerves and excitement!
- The side effects of botox are minimal, but treatment always comes with a risk for bruising or localized swelling – in case it happens, make sure you have a 2 week window were you won’t be upset if anyone saw you with a bruise.
- It take 2 weeks for full effect to take place, plan accordingly. If being treated before a big event, we recommend being treated 4 weeks prior to allow room for adjustments after the first 2 weeks.
Is there anything I should avoid after my Botox or Dysport appointment?
- You want to keep your face as clean as possible for 24 hours after your appointment – no makeup, dirty phone screens, used pillowcases, etc.
- Avoid anything heat-based for 24 hours after your appointment – no working out, excessive sun exposure, infrared saunas, hot tubs, etc.
- Stay upright for 4 hours post injections.
- Do not apply pressure to the treated areas, including massaging or hat wearing for at least 24 hours.
- Immediate redness, localized swelling may last for 30 minutes to several hours.
- Bruising is possible and may last up to 2 to 3 weeks. Arnica gel or oral supplement can help minimize longevity of a bruise.
- Please allow your injections 2 to 3 weeks to settle. Muscles may respond asymmetrically as it begins working. Follow ups can be made after 2 week, but no greater than 3 weeks from initial injection.
- Please allow 2 weeks before receiving other esthetic treatments such as facials, laser and microneedling.
- If you have any immediate concerns, please contact Infinity MedSpa and Wellness.
