To ensure the best possible results and minimize potential side effects, here’s what you should do before your Botox injections:
- Inform Your Injector: Disclose your complete medical history, including all medications, supplements, and recent procedures.
- Stop Blood Thinners (if medically safe): In consultation with your doctor, temporarily stop blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for a few days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Avoid Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as it can thin the blood.
- Arrive with Clean Skin: Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup, lotions, or oils.
- Hydrate: Ensure you’re well hydrated for optimal comfort during the procedure.
- Communicate Your Goals: Be prepared to discuss your desired results and any specific concerns with your injector.
