1. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements 3-5 days before treatment to
minimize bruising:

Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Aleve)

Vitamin E, Omega 3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil)

2. Stay well-hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment.

antiviral medication as prescribed by your provider.

To ensure the best results and minimize potential side effects, it’s important to follow a few simple guidelines before your Botox or Dysport treatment. Proper preparation helps reduce the risk of bruising and ensures a smoother recovery. Please review the following pre- treatment care tips prior to your appointment.

Post-Treatment Care

down for the first night.

3. No strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or saunas for 24-48 hours.

4. Avoid makeup for 4 hours and skincare with retinol, glycolic acid, or strong active
ingredients for 24 hours to prevent irritation.

5. No plucking, waxing, or threading of the eyebrows for 6 hours if the forehead or brow
area was treated.

7. Avoid tight goggles, eye masks, or anything pressing on the face for 24 hours.

8. Do not undergo facials, peels, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks.

9. Stay hydrated and follow your provider’s aftercare recommendations.

10. Schedule a follow-up in 2 weeks to assess your results and plan future treatments,
especially if this is your first time.
