Before and After Botox: What You Need to Know

Pre-Botox Preparation

Proper preparation before Botox application directly affects the success of the procedure and the quality of results. With over 30 years of experience, I share all the information you need to achieve the best results.

One Week Before

• Stop blood thinners: Aspirin, ibuprofen, omega-3 supplements increase bruising risk
• Stop alcohol consumption: Avoid alcohol at least 48-72 hours before
• Vitamin E and ginkgo biloba: These supplements also have blood-thinning effects

Day of Procedure

• Keep your face clean, avoid makeup
• Drink plenty of water, stay hydrated
• Wear comfortable clothes
• Don't schedule important meetings or events

Post-Botox Care

First 4 Hours

• Stay upright: Don't lie down or bend forward
• Don't touch the treated area: No massage or scratching
• No exercise: Avoid activities that increase blood pressure

First 24-48 Hours

• Avoid intense physical activities
• Stay away from sauna, steam room, and hot baths
• Postpone facial massages and beauty treatments
• Don't consume alcohol

When Will Results Appear?

Botox effects typically begin within 3-5 days, with full effect appearing within 10-14 days. Be patient and don't request additional treatment before seeing results.
