Preparation for Botox is minimal, but a few simple steps can help ensure optimal results. Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil supplements for one week before treatment to minimize bruising risk.
Don’t consume alcohol 24 hours before your appointment, and avoid strenuous exercise on treatment day. Come to your appointment with clean skin – no makeup in the treatment areas. Your provider will cleanse the area again before injection.
Most importantly, come prepared with questions and realistic expectations. Your consultation is the perfect time to discuss your goals, concerns, and any previous experiences with injectables. The more information you share, the better your provider can customize your treatment.
