Botox Pre/Post Treatment Instructions

/

Preparing for your Botox treatment is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome. Here are some essential steps to follow:

  • Research and Consultation

Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, it is vital to do your research and choose a reputable provider. Our professional Susan is a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with 21 years of experience who has a track record of delivering excellent results.

  • Avoid Blood Thinners

To minimize the risk of bruising and bleeding during the procedure, it is advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E for at least a week before your treatment. Always consult with your healthcare provider before stopping any prescribed medication.

  • Consultation

During your consultation, be open and honest with your provider about your medical history, current medications, allergies, and any previous cosmetic treatments. This information will help them assess your suitability for Botox and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

  • Prepare Your Skin

On the day of your treatment, make sure your skin is clean and free of makeup, lotions, or any other products. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or undergoing facial treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion for a week before your Botox session.

The Botox Treatment Process: Expert Precision and Care

Once you have completed the necessary preparations, it's time for the Botox treatment itself. Here's what you can expect:

  • Comfortable Environment

At Siti Med Spa, we prioritize your comfort and well-being. Our treatment rooms are designed to provide a relaxing and soothing atmosphere, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout your visit.

  • Local Anesthetic (Optional)

While Botox injections are generally well-tolerated, some clients may request a topical numbing cream or ice pack to minimize any discomfort. Discuss your preferences with your provider during the consultation.

  • Precise Injections

Our highly trained and experienced professionals will administer the Botox injections with precision, targeting the specific areas you wish to address. They will use fine needles and carefully calculated amounts of the Botox solution to ensure natural-looking results.

Post-Treatment Care

After your Botox treatment, there are a few essential steps to follow to optimize your results and promote a smooth recovery:

  • Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Areas

It's important to avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least six hours after the procedure. This will prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas and ensure its effectiveness in the targeted zones.

  • Refrain from Strenuous Activities

For the first 24 hours post-treatment, avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that may cause excessive sweating. These activities can increase blood flow to the face, potentially affecting the distribution of Botox.

  • Stay Upright

Maintain an upright position for at least four hours after the treatment. This helps prevent the Botox from settling unevenly and ensures that it distributes evenly across the targeted muscles.

Schedule a consultation with our professional Susan to discuss your goals, address any concerns, and obtain personalized recommendations.
