Botox Pre and Post Care

Please let us know if you have started taking antibiotics or other medications since your initial appointment.
Not taking Advil®, Ibuprofen, Aleve®, Aspirin, Motrin®, Vitamin E, fish oil, St. John's Wort, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 14 days before treatment will help decrease your chance of bruising. Immediately consult your prescribing physician before stopping any medications you are taking.
Limit alcohol consumption 48 hours before treatment to minimize the chance of bruising.
To help reduce the chance of bruising, take Arnica orally seven to ten days before treatment. Take as directed on the bottle.
Deodorant may be worn on the day of your appointment if you are being treated for excessive sweating.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not eligible for treatment.
Treatment is not available to patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. Patients must have been in remission for 6 months before they can be treated.
Tell your provider about all medical conditions, medications you're taking, skin disorders, allergies, anaphylaxis history, and other medical conditions.

Botox Post-Care Instructions

During the same Botox® appointment, you may receive additional procedures. Dermal fillers can be done before or after a Botox® treatment. Microneedling must be performed before receiving Botox®.
Within 24 hours, do not perform any strenuous exercise.
Within 24 hours of injection, do not massage or manipulate the injection site. Within 14 days of injections, bruises typically resolve.
Don't judge the final result until Botox®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau® have fully set in, although some benefits are typically seen shortly after injection. A full effect may not be seen for up to 14 days in some clients. An improvement in skin appearance may begin after Botox®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau® is fully set in.
If you are being treated for excessive sweating you may wear deodorant after your treatment.
Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® are FDA-indicated to last about 3 months. However, everyone is unique and the longevity and amount of product required will differ per person.
