Anti Wrinkle Injections - Pre Care Information

Do’s & Don’ts when preparing for your Anti Wrinkle treatment.

-It is crucial that you do not consume alcohol at least 24 hours before undergoing Botox injections, as alcohol can thin the blood and increase the possibility of bruising.

-You should also avoid medications like Blood Thinners, Aspiriin or Anti Inflammatories for 1 week prior to your treatment.

-If you are Lactose Intolerant you must let me know before your procedure as it may mean I have to use a different brand of Botulinum Toxic to my usual.

-Avoid other facial treatments at least 1 week prior to your treatment.

-Avoid extensive sun exposure / the use of tanning beds at least 3 days prior to your treatment.
(We obviously advise that you stop using tanning beds altogether because they increase your risk of skin cancer and accelerate visible signs of aging).

-Likewise, avoid Hair Removal (to the area you are receiving Botox) at least 1 week prior to your treatment.
(Whether that be Waxing, Laser or Cream – Shaving is okay if done gently ensuring no nicks).

-In addition, please make sure you are not wearing makeup on the day of your treatment.

Helpful tips to prevent bruising at the injection point:

-As mentioned above avoid medications like Blood Thinners, Aspiriin or Anti Inflammatories for 1 week prior to your treatment.

Take Arnica tablets for 1 week prior to your treatment

-Up your Iron, B12 & Vitamin C intake if you are prone to bruising.
