• ✓A few simple guidelines before your treatment can make a difference between a good result and a fantastic one!
• ✓If you have a special event or vacation coming up, schedule your treatment at least 3-4 weeks in advance. This way, you have the option for a 2-week post-injection follow-up to see if additional units may be needed and the neurotoxin will be in full effect by the time of your event or vacation.

To reduce the incidence of bruising after these procedures

• ✓NO: Aspirin, Motrin, ginkgo biloba, garlic, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamin A, vitamin E, fatty acids, at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment
• ✓AVOID Alcohol, caffeine, niacin supplements, high sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods, or cigarettes 48 hours before and after your treatment.
• ✓We recommend Arnica tabs to be taken 24 hours before and after your procedure to help reduce bruising. You may find these at your local pharmacy or holistic health food store.
• ✓We recommend discontinuing products containing retinol (Retin-A) 3 days prior to treatments to avoid increased redness and irritation.
• ✓We recommend waiting at least 1 week before and after your Botox/neurotoxin injections to have any other cosmetic facial treatments, including laser, ultrasound, peel, facials, micro-needling, microdermabrasion, etc.
