Treatment Instructions: Neurotoxins

---

You may be emailed a consent form prior to your appointment in order to decrease contact points with physical paper work (pen, paper, clipboard). We will review the consent with you at the time of your appointment, review contraindications, assure all pre-treatment instructions have been met, and make sure all questions are fully answered before proceeding with treatment. 

• Remain upright for 4-6 hours following injection

• Exercise the treated muscles every 15 mins for the next 4 hours (raise eyebrows, frown, squint, etc)

• No strenuous activity for 24 hrs after injection

• Do not rub, ice, massage, or apply pressure to the injection areas for 24 hrs after injection 

• Avoid tight headbands and hats for 24 hrs after injection

• Do not book a massage or facial for at least 5 days post treatment 

• No laser or BBL treatments for 2 weeks after injection
• Bruising can happen and may last up to 2 weeks. Avoid herbal supplements (ginkgo, green tea) and NSAIDs (if not medically necessary) for 2 weeks to limit bruising. Arnica may be helpful to reduce bruising. 

• Some clients may experience a mild headache

• Though rare, infection in the injected areas is possible. Signs of infection may include redness and tenderness in the affected area and fever. Should you develop an infection, antibiotics may be necessary. Please contact us should you have any concerns. 

A hard copy of these instructions will be given at the time of the appointment.
