How to prepare for Botox or Dysport

Simple steps before neuromodulator appointments so you can settle in comfortably and support a smooth recovery.

Before your visit Avoid alcohol for about 24 hours when possible. Ask your physician before pausing any prescribed blood thinners; skip optional supplements like fish oil if your provider agrees. Arrive with a clean face if you can — we can remove makeup in clinic. Mention recent dental work, illness, or prior neurotoxin treatments. Why prep matters A little planning helps reduce bruising risk and keeps your appointment focused on mapping the look you want — whether that is softer forehead lines, a refreshed brow, or a subtle lip flip.
