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.
