To help you get the best results from your Neurotoxins for Face treatment, please review and follow the pre-care checklist below.
One week before
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements for 3–5 days prior unless prescribed and medically necessary — includes aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, garlic supplements, and St. John's Wort.
- Do not stop cardiac aspirin without physician approval.
- Avoid scheduling within two weeks of a major event — bruising is possible and full results take 2 weeks.
48 hours before
- No alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment (reduces bruising risk).
- Avoid strenuous exercise on the day of treatment — it increases bruising risk.
Day of treatment
- Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on treatment areas.
Notify your provider if
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
- You have a history of neuromuscular disorders.
- You are taking aminoglycoside antibiotics — treatment cannot proceed.
- You have had recent surgery, dental procedures, or active infection.
What to expect
- Results begin within 3–7 days; full effect at around 2 weeks.
- Refreshed results typically last 3–4 months before your next visit.
- Mild temporary swelling, small red bumps, or light bruising may occur and usually resolve quickly.
