tox pre-treatment

GENERAL

You may book a consultation prior to your appointment to discuss your goals and come up with a treatment plan or we can do a consultation at your appointment!

If you have a special event or vacation coming up, please keep in mind that you may want to schedule your treatment at least 2 weeks in advance. It can take up to 2 weeks for the Neurotoxin to full take effect.

If you have a history of cold sore outbreaks we recommend pre-treating with an antiviral 3 days prior to your appointment as there is a risk the injection could activate an outbreak Please let us know if you are prone.

Avoid Neurotoxins if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or allergic to any of the ingredients in the product.

2 WEEKS

It is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks to have botulinum toxin treatments performed if you have previously had cosmetic treatments with laser, ultrasound, peels, facials or microdermabrasion. Avoid these treatments for 2 weeks after as well.

Please consult with your primary physician prior to discontinuing any medications.

3 DAYS
