Botox + Daxxify
🌺Before & Aftercare Instructions
Botox and Daxxify are neuromodulators used to soften expression lines and create a smoother, refreshed appearance. These before and aftercare guidelines help ensure the product settles properly and your results develop evenly. Following these steps supports a natural, balanced outcome and the longest possible duration of effect.
🩺 Universal Pre‑Treatment Guidelines
💊 Avoid Blood Thinners (5–7 Days Prior) Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, and other NSAIDs increase bruising risk. If you take prescription anticoagulants (Coumadin, Dabigatran, Apixaban), please notify us.
🚭 Avoid Alcohol & Smoking (48 Hours Prior) Both increase bruising and slow healing.
🌿 Consider Arnica Montana Topical or oral Arnica can reduce bruising for patients prone to it.
🧴 Arrive With Clean Skin No makeup, sunscreen, moisturizer, or oils. We will cleanse again before treatment.
🧊 Optional: Numbing Cream Apply Lidocaine 30 minutes before your appointment. If you don’t have any, we can provide it in‑office at no charge.
✅ Before Care – Neurotoxins (Botox & Daxxify)
Avoid scheduling facials, facial massage, microcurrent, gua sha, or dental work for 24 hours before treatment.
If this is your first time receiving neurotoxin, schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before major events to allow full onset and time for touch‑ups if needed.
If you are prone to headaches after injections, you may take Tylenol beforehand (not NSAIDs).
Arrive with a relaxed face — avoid practicing exaggerated expressions before treatment.
🌈 Universal Aftercare Guidelines
✨ Mild Redness or Swelling Is Normal This typically resolves within a few hours.
🙅 Avoid Rubbing or Massaging Treated Areas Unless specifically instructed for your procedure.
🏃 Avoid Exercise & Lying Flat (4–6 Hours) This prevents product migration and reduces swelling.
🍷 Avoid Alcohol for 24 Hours Alcohol increases fluid retention and bruising.
🌿 Continue Arnica if Needed Avoid applying directly to injection sites.
💊 Resume Blood Thinners After 24 Hours Unless otherwise directed by your physician.
✅ Aftercare – Neurotoxins (Botox & Daxxify)
Do not lie down for 4 hours after treatment.
Avoid hats, tight headbands, or anything that applies pressure to the forehead for 24 hours.
Avoid exercising your face (no exaggerated expressions) for the rest of the day.
Avoid facials, facial massage, microcurrent, gua sha, or skin treatments for 24 hours.
Small bumps at injection sites are normal and typically resolve within 30–60 minutes.
Results begin in 2–4 days, with full effect at 7–14 days.
Touch‑ups, if needed, should be scheduled no sooner than 14 days after treatment.
