Botox/Wrinkle Relaxer

How should I prepare for a Botox treatment?
  • Try to avoid alcohol and blood thinners, including but not limited to Aspirin, Vitamin E and fish oil the day before treatment
  • Aim to take arnica 2-3 days prior to treatment or day of treatment to help minimize possible bruising or swelling
What should I avoid post-treatment?

What is the downtime?/Will I bruise?

With any cosmetic microtreatment, there is always the possibility of some bruising or swelling, however they are merely temporary! There are steps you can take to reduce the chances as well, such as avoiding alcohol or pain medication for 24 hours before your visit, and taking arnica afterwards. As far as downtime, there really isn’t any!  You can exercise or go about your day post-treatment.

When will I see results?

You can expect to see results within 2 weeks of your initial treatment.

How long does Botox last?

It can vary from person to person depending on how fast your body metabolizes the product, we suggest refreshing your Botox every 3-4 months.

Is Botox preventative?

Yes, Botox can be used to prevent future wrinkles from forming! Botox is injected into the targeted muscles, which grow weaker with subsequent injections. The muscles that are injected don’t move as much when you make an expression, helping to prevent wrinkles from forming.

Unfortunately we recommend avoiding Botox injections while pregnant or breastfeeding.
