PRE-TREATMENT CARE
o Avoid the use of nsaids, green tea, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamin A and E, and essential fatty acids for up to one week pre- and post-injection, as these will increase the risk of bruising.
o Do not drink alcohol beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising.
o Do not apply products that are potentially irritating for 2-3 days before or after treatment.
o Inform your provider if you have history of cold sores to receive advice or antiviral therapy prior to treatment.
o Please notify us with any questions 307-221-8015.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your first Botox appointment will likely be quick and easy. Typically, the entire treatment is completed in 20 minutes or less. Here’s a detailed list of what to expect from beginning to end of the treatment:
You and the specialist will review what was discussed at your consultation appointment including how much Botox you’re getting and in which areas.
The specialist will carefully identify and mark the areas to be treated.
A mild cleanser will be applied to these areas.
If you’re concerned about discomfort, the specialist will use ice or a numbing cream to numb the targeted area(s).
The specialist will use a narrow micro-needle to inject Botox directly into the facial muscles. One to three injections may be needed.
Ice and pressure will be applied to the treated areas to discourage swelling.
POST TREATEMENT
o Do not touch, massage, or rub the treated area in any way for at least 24 hours to prevent Botox from spreading to other muscles.
o Avoid strenuous exercise and do not lie down for 4 hours post-treatment, so that the Botox won't move to other areas.
o Do not undergo other treatments like microdermabrasion, facials, and chemical peels for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
o A cold pack or gel can help to reduce swelling and minimize bruising, but avoid adding too much pressure.
