antiviral medication as prescribed by your provider.

Pre-Treatment Care

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

 1. Mild discomfort, bruising or headache is normal. Results start showing in 3-5 days, with full effect in 10-14 days. You may take Tylenol if needed, as long as you’re not allergic.

 2.  Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for 48 hours. Avoid sleeping face
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.

6.   Limit alcohol and caffeine intake for 24 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.

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.
