Pre-Treatment Instructions
- If you have a special event or travel coming up, we usually recommend
scheduling treatment at least 2 weeks prior to the event as you may have some bruising. This will also allow for the neurotoxin to take effect in time for the event. - Please inform us if you have a history of cold sores or any recent illnesses, dental procedures, or rashes.
- Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, St Johns Wort, vitamin E) for 2-3 days prior to treatment and alcohol 24 hours prior to treatment to minimize bleeding and bruising
Post-Treatment Instructions
- Full results may take 10-14 to appear

- No hats or headbands for 24 hours
- Avoid facials, massages, or exfoliating the area for 24 hours
