Injectables like Botox, Dysport, and dermal fillers are some of the most effective treatments for smoothing fine lines and restoring youthful volume. But did you know your results depend on how you care for your skin before and after treatment?
Before Injectables: How to Prepare
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Skip alcohol, aspirin, and certain supplements like fish oil for a few days to reduce bruising.
- Stay Hydrated: Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatment.
- Arrive with Clean Skin: No makeup or heavy skincare products before your appointment.
- Plan Ahead: Avoid scheduling right before a big event, as mild swelling or redness is normal.
After Injectables: How to Maximize Results
- No Touching or Rubbing: Avoid pressing on treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Skip Exercise for a Day: Intense workouts can increase swelling and bruising.
- Stay Upright: Avoid lying flat for 4 hours after Botox.
- Use Gentle Skincare: Stick to soothing products and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days.
- Protect with SPF: Sun protection helps maintain smoother, more youthful results.
