Getting ready for your Botox or Xeomin appointment? We're so excited to help you achieve your aesthetic goals! To ensure the best possible results and minimize any potential risks, please take a few minutes to review these simple pre-treatment guidelines:

• Your health is our priority: Please make sure you're in good health and have no active skin infections in the treatment area.

• Medication considerations: To minimize the risk of bruising or swelling, avoid anti-inflammatory/blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, St. John's Wort, and other NSAIDs) ideally for one week before and a few days after your treatment.

• Timing is everything:  For special events, please schedule your Botox or Xeomin appointment at least 2-4 weeks prior to avoid any potential bruising on the day of your event."

To ensure you get the best possible results and minimize any potential risks, please review these simple post-treatment guidelines:

• Keep cool: For the first 4 hours, avoid anything that raises your body temperature (exercise, hot tubs, saunas, direct sun exposure, etc.). This helps the neurotoxin work effectively.

• Hands off:  Don't touch or manipulate the treated areas for 4 hours, and avoid lying down during this time. This prevents the neurotoxin from migrating and helps avoid things like a droopy eyebrow or eyelid. This also means no facials, chemical peels, or massages right after treatment.

• Makeup break: Give your injection sites about 24 hours to heal. Avoid makeup on the day of treatment. You can wash your face normally that evening (at least 4 hours after your treatment).

• Patience is key: It can take anywhere from 2-10 days (or sometimes a little longer) to see the full effects of your treatment. Give it a full two weeks before assessing your results. Don't love it or hate it for 2 weeks!

• Follow-up is important: Please schedule a follow-up appointment about 2 weeks after your treatment so we can assess your results and make any necessary adjustments.

• Maintenance is key: To maintain your fabulous results, we recommend scheduling Botox or Xeomin treatments every 3-4 months.
