Neurotoxins (Botox® , Xeomin® , Dysport® , Jeuveau®, or Letybo®)

Neurotoxins (such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Letybo) are safe, effective injectables used to relax facial muscles and smooth dynamic wrinkles. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for your appointment and ensure optimal results.

Preparation & Aftercare Guide

  • 1–2 Weeks Before:

    • Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, etc.) unless prescribed.

    • Stop alcohol intake at least 24–48 hours before to reduce bruising risk.

    • Notify us if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any neurological conditions.

    Day Of:

    • Come with a clean face — no makeup, moisturizer, or SPF.

    • Eat something light before your appointment to avoid lightheadedness.

    • Wear comfortable clothing and avoid tight headwear that may press on treated areas.

    • The procedure takes 10–20 minutes.

    • You’ll receive a few small injections in targeted areas — most clients describe it as a small pinch.

    • Your provider will assess your muscle movement to ensure precise placement.

  • First 4 Hours:

    • Remain upright (no lying down).

    • Gently move the treated muscles by smiling or raising your eyebrows — this can help with product absorption.

    • Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the area.

    First 24 Hours:

    • No strenuous exercise.

    • Avoid alcohol, heat exposure (hot tubs, saunas), and direct sun.

    • Skip makeup over the injection sites.

    3–14 Days Post-Treatment:

    • Full results develop gradually over 3–10 days.

    • Schedule a follow-up if needed for adjustments or to assess results.

    • Avoid other facial treatments (facials, chemical peels, lasers, exfoliation) for 1–2 weeks.
