Botox

Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a safe, FDA-approved injectable treatment commonly used to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing the underlying facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox is also used for a variety of medical conditions, including excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and muscle spasms.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

To ensure the best outcome and minimize the risk of bruising or side effects, we recommend the following before your appointment:

• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil) for at least 3–5 days prior.
• Refrain from alcohol consumption for 24 hours before treatment.
• Inform us of any recent medical procedures, medications, or health changes.
• Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products.

Post-Treatment Care

After receiving Botox, follow these care instructions to support safe healing and effective results:

• Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment.
• Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for 24 hours.
• Do not undergo facials, chemical peels, or other facial treatments for at least 1 week.
• Minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
