Is Botox Safe?
Botox is generally safe when administered by a licensed healthcare provider. Ask your medical team if Botox injections are right for you.
How should I prepare for Botox?
Make sure your healthcare provider has a current list of the medications and supplements you take. Certain medications increase the risk of bruising at the injection site.
These include anticoagulants or blood thinners (Warfarin®) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Alcohol also makes you more prone to redness and bruising. Don’t drink for 24 hours before a procedure.
What should I expect during Botox treatment?
Your healthcare provider uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the treatment area. Depending on the issue, you may receive several injections in different spots. Here’s what else you need to know about Botox therapy:
Botox is an outpatient procedure. You’ll be able to go home the same day.
Discomfort is usually mild. The injections may sting and feel uncomfortable, but the procedure is over quickly. Your healthcare provider might apply a topical numbing agent to your skin before giving injections.
What should I know about Botox aftercare?
Unless your healthcare provider says otherwise, you can return to work and most activities immediately after treatment.
Don’t rub or put pressure on the treatment area for 12 hours.
Stay upright (don’t lie down) for three to four hours.
Avoid physical exertion for 24 hours.
How often should you get Botox?
On average, the effects of Botox last about three to four months. Retreatment is recommended at this time. Eventually, however, your muscles may train themselves to contract less.
As a result, treatments can be spaced out over longer periods of time. Your healthcare provider can let you know how often you should get Botox based on your unique needs.
