First-Time Botox q & a

  • Consultation: Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation. Your provider will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and ensure Botox is the right option for you. This is your chance to ask questions or share concerns.

    Treatment Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and if needed, a numbing cream can be applied for added comfort. However, many patients find the injections tolerable without topical numbing.

    Injections: Using a fine needle, your provider will inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles. Each injection takes seconds, and the entire procedure is usually completed in under 30 minutes.

    Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you might notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a few hours or days, leaving you ready to enjoy the results.

  • Preparing for Botox can help you achieve optimal results and minimize potential side effects. Follow these guidelines:

    • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements like fish oil and vitamin E for at least 24–48 hours before your appointment. These substances can increase the risk of bruising.

    • Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water promotes healthy skin and can support a smoother recovery process.

    • Communicate with Your Practitioner: Share your medical history, allergies, and any medications you’re taking to ensure Botox is safe and effective for you.

    • Plan Around Your Schedule: Avoid scheduling your appointment right before important events to allow time for any mild swelling or bruising to subside.

    • Side Effects Are Rare but Possible: Minor headaches, flu-like symptoms, or temporary drooping are uncommon side effects. At MEDSPA 33, our experienced team minimizes risks with precise injections and thorough consultations.
