Pre-care instructions for neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, etc) and filler to reduce swelling
and bruising:
• To reduce the risk of bleeding, please stop the following five days prior to procedure: supplements
including vitamin e, fish oil, and all supplements that start with a "g" including but not limited to
ginseng, gingko biloba, garlic, etc. Aspirin and NSAIDs such as Aleve and Ibuprofen can also increase
bleeding risk, and it is recommended that you try to avoid these as well prior to your injections, unless
prescribed by a physician. Please discuss your options with your injector if taking blood thinners.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to injections for optimal results.
• For filler, no dental work two weeks prior or post injection day.
