Botox & Tox · Pre & Post CareBefore & After Your Treatment
Simple steps to get the best results from Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau and lip flips, and what to expect while you heal.
These are general guidelines. Your provider may give you instructions that are specific to your treatment. Always follow those first. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
Step 1
Before Your Appointment
- If your doctor approves, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E for a day or two beforehand to lower the chance of bruising. Never stop a prescribed medication without asking your doctor.
- Come with clean skin, or plan to remove your makeup when you arrive.
- Tell us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, feeling unwell or have a skin infection near the treatment area.
- Planning for an event? Book at least 2 weeks ahead so your results are fully settled.
Step 2
After Your Treatment
- Stay upright for 4 hours. Avoid lying flat, bending over for long periods, or rubbing and pressing on the treated area.
- Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, hot yoga and facials for 24 hours.
- Wait until the next day for massages or anything that presses on your face.
Don’t Worry
What’s Normal
- Small bumps at the injection sites that fade within 20 to 30 minutes.
- Light redness or a small bruise that fades in a few days.
- Results start in 3 to 5 days and are fully visible at about 2 weeks.
