To prepare for your Botox appointment, we recommend avoiding alcohol, blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or ibuprofen), and excessive caffeine for 24 hours beforehand to minimize the risk of bruising. After treatment, do not lie down flat or apply pressure to the treated areas for at least four hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, steam rooms, and facials for the remainder of the day. Mild redness or swelling at injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few hours. Full results develop gradually, with peak effect visible within 7–10 days.
