Neuromodulators (Bo-Tox)

Pre and Post Care Instructions

PRECARE:

To help decrease your chance of bruising stop taking blood thinning medications (unless prescribed by your doctor) or supplements at least 7 days before your appointment. These would include, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, Advil, fish oil, Vitamin E, and any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory products.
To reduce your chance of bruising avoid alcohol 24 hours before your appointment.
Make sure to eat and drink before your appointment to avoid becoming lightheaded during treatment.
You cannot be breast feeding or pregnant to get neurotoxin.
No treatment within 2 weeks before and after any vaccine.
No facial infections at the time of treatment (ex: cold sores or fungal infections).

TIP: schedule your appointment 1 month prior to your large event (ex: wedding, vacation, speaking event) so the fullest effects of the tox will have set in by then.

POST CARE:

Do not rub or massage the area for 24 hours after treatment (gentle face washing is ok)
Do not work out or participate in any strenuous activities for 24 hours after treatment.
To avoid migration do not lie down for the first 4 hours after treatment.
Avoid saunas, tanning beds, hot yoga, steam rooms, etc. for 24 hours after treatment.
Avoid hats, headbands, or any other tight-fitting article of clothing until the following day after treatment.
If you have any asymmetry or movement you would like to adjust at the 2-week mark, please call or text to schedule a follow-up visit.
