Botox in Philadelphia

Tell us if you have previously had to endure facial cold sores or herpes break-outs. We can prescribe medication to minimize the chances and duration of a possible break-out.

If you have microbladed eyebrows, please call your brow provider to see what they recommend for Botox/Dysport injections with your eyebrow treatment.

Please tell us when scheduling if you know you bruise easily, and we can make suggestions for products to take beforehand to reduce the risk of bruising. For example, eating fresh pineapple a week prior to your appointment can help reduce the likelihood of bruising.

Try to eat a small snack before your appointment. Having food in your stomach during a Botox or Dysport injection will help prevent you from feeling light-headed or faintish.

Use cold compresses like ice packs that help reduce bruising and swelling.

Remember that the immediate results you see aren’t final. It can take 14 days for Botox or Dysport to fully kick in.

Try to avoid touching the treated area for the first 6 hours following treatment.

Limit the levels of heat your skin experiences within 24 hours of your injections. This includes sun exposure and things like heat lamps or tanning beds.

Make sure to stay hydrated and drink lots of water, as this will help everything work to its full capacity.

Feel free to make a lot of exaggerated facial expressions immediately after your Botox or Dysport treatment to ensure the product has integrated into your muscle.

Remember to ask about follow-up appointments!

Contact us if you’re experiencing any severe side effects after your appointment. Fevers or chills, discolorations around areas or areas warm to the touch, and severe pains are all issues that require immediate attention.
