Before your Botox Appointment

Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications:

  • Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and other anti-inflammatory medications 5-7 days before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.

  • Inform your provider if you are on any blood thinner medication prescribed to you by your provider so appropriate precautions can be taken.

Limit Alcohol Intake:

  • Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol can thin your blood, increasing the risk of bruising.

Avoid Supplements That Thin the Blood:

  • Refrain from taking supplements such as fish oil, vitamin E, Ginkgo biloba, and garlic supplements for about 5-7 days before your appointment.

No Chemical Peels or Microdermabrasion:

  • Avoid any chemical peels or microdermabrasion at least 1 week before your Botox appointment to reduce the risk of irritation or sensitivity.

Stay Hydrated:

  • Make sure you are well-hydrated before your appointment. Drink plenty of water leading up to the day of treatment.

Eat a Light Meal:

  • Have a light snack or meal before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded during the treatment.

Remove Makeup:

  • Please arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free from makeup, moisturizer, or any skincare products.

What to expect during your appointment

Consultation and Discussion:

  • Before the treatment, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and review your medical history. We'll also evaluate your facial muscles to determine the best placement and appropriate dosing for the injections.

The Procedure:

  • The actual injection process is quick, usually lasting 10-15 minutes. We will use a very fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted muscles. The discomfort is minimal, often described as a slight pinch or sting.

Minimal Downtime:

  • Botox requires little to no downtime, and most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few hours to a few days.

Post-Treatment Care for Optimal Botox Results

Avoid Touching or Massaging the Area:

  • Do not rub, touch, or massage the treated areas for at least 4 hours after the treatment to avoid spreading the Botox to unintended muscles.

Stay Upright:

  • Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours after the procedure. Avoid lying down or bending over during this time.

No Exercise for 24 Hours:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or any activities that could increase your heart rate for 24 hours after the treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.

Avoid Heat Exposure:

  • Avoid exposure to saunas, hot tubs, sunbathing, or intense heat for 24-48 hours after your appointment, as heat can increase swelling and bruising

Results Timeline:

  • You’ll start to notice the effects of Botox within 3-5 days, with full results appearing by 10-14 days. The effects typically last for 3-4 months.
