💉 Helpful Things to Do Before Your Aesthetics Treatment

How to prepare for a smooth, stress-free experience

So, you’ve booked your Botox appointment—amazing! Whether it’s your first time or just part of your regular routine, preparing properly can help you get the best results and avoid unwanted side effects.

Here are a few simple but helpful steps to take before your Botox treatment:

✅ 1.Avoid Blood Thinners (If Possible)

To reduce the risk of bruising, try to avoid the following for at least 3–5 days before your appointment:

• Aspirin, ibuprofen (e.g., Nurofen, Advil), naproxen

• Fish oil or omega-3 supplements

• Vitamin E

• Alcohol

• Herbal supplements like ginkgo, garlic, or St. John’s Wort

Always check with your GP before stopping any prescribed medication.

💦 2.Stay Hydrated

Healthy, hydrated skin is better prepared for treatment and heals faster. Aim to drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your appointment.

🚫 3.Skip Alcohol for 24–48 Hours

Alcohol thins the blood, which can increase the chance of bruising. It’s best to avoid it the day before and after your treatment.

😴 4.Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Your skin and body heal and repair while you sleep. Being well-rested helps you feel calm and ensures your body is in its best condition on the day of treatment.

🧴 5.Arrive with a Clean Face

Avoid makeup, heavy creams, or fake tan on the day of your appointment. Clean, makeup-free skin is ideal for treatment and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.

🗓️ 6.Time It Right

If you have a special event, wedding, or trip coming up, make sure you schedule Botox at least 2 weeks beforehand. It can take up to 14 days for full results to show, and any mild bruising or swelling should resolve by then.

🙋‍♀️ 7. Be Honest at Your Consultation

Let your practitioner know if:

• You’re pregnant or breastfeeding (Botox isn’t recommended)

• You have any allergies or medical conditions

• You’ve had Botox or filler treatments elsewhere

• You’re taking any medications or supplements

The more we know, the better we can tailor your treatment safely.

Botox is quick, effective, and minimally invasive—but preparation still matters! A little planning helps you feel more confident and ensures the best, most natural-looking results.
