It's important to follow instructions when preparing for Botox injections. Your practitioner will advise you of these during the consultation, but here are a few guidelines:
-
Remove makeup and jewellery from the area where you will be receiving injections.
-
Clean the skin with soap and water, if necessary.
-
Avoid alcohol, coffee and smoking for 24 hours before your appointment (these substances can increase bruising).
-
Avoid any NSAID’s such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen for two days before your appointment (these can increase risks of bleeding and bruise at the treated sites)
