Timing is everything. It is best to schedule Botox/Dysport/Nuceiva treatments at least two weeks before a big event. Since these cosmetic treatments require little to no downtime, many clients choose to have them done on their lunch break — Botox can be administered in as little as 10–15 minutes!

Avoid blood thinning medication. One week prior, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (generic, Advil, Aleve or Motrin), Vitamin E and fish oil or omega-3s to prevent bruising. If you are on an anticoagulant prescribed by your physician you will need to discuss this with them.

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours pre treatment as this will also increase your risk of bruising.

Do NOT manipulate the treated area for 3 hours following treatment.

Do NOT receive facial/ laser treatments or microdermabrasion after neuromodulator injections for at least 10 days.

Do NOT lie down for 4 hours after your neuromodulator treatment. This will prevent the neuromodulator from tracking into the orbit of your eye and causing drooping eyelid.

Do NOT perform activities involving straining, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for 6 hours after treatment. This will concentrate the neuromodulator in the injected area and not elsewhere.
