Try to avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising!)

It is recommended to avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible for a period of 2 weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

Schedule your neurotoxin (botox, dysport or xeomin) appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation. Results from neurotoxins injections will take approximately 4 to 7 days to appear. Also bruising and swelling may be apparent in that time period. 

Give us a call or email at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area.

If you use Retin-A, it may cause irritation and redness to the area. You may want to consider discontinuing use for 2 days prior to your appointment.
