Essential care instructions to optimize your treatment results and ensure the best possible experience with your Botox and filler treatments.
Important Treatment Guidelines
Following these pre and post treatment guidelines will help ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects from your aesthetic treatments.
Botox (Xeomin, Dysport)
Botox Pre-treatment
Please follow the following guidelines to have improved injection results and shorten duration of downtime.
No NSAIDs (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, motrin, aleve) 5 days before your appointment
No supplements (such as fish oil, turmeric, Vitamin E, ginkgo, evening primrose, garlic, feverfew, and any other supplements associated with anticoagulation) 5 days before your appointment
If you are taking prescribed blood thinners - notify Boutique prior to your treatment
Avoid alcohol 24 hours before
Avoid caffeine 24 hours before
Avoid anti-aging products such as retinol 1-2 days before
Take zinc supplement (10 mg) daily for 4 days before treatment (results will last up to 30% longer)

No exercise on day after treatment
No saunas or excessive sweating on day after treatment
No alcohol 24 hours after
Avoid touching your face as much as possible. If you have to adjust something - wash your hands prior
