Botox Pre-Appointment Prep Guide

Faces By Maryanna – Rockwall, TX

To get the best results from your Botox treatment, it’s important to prep your skin and body in the week leading up to your appointment. Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe, smooth, and effective experience.

7 Days Before

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements if approved by your doctor (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo, etc.). These increase the risk of bruising.

  • Stop using Retinol, Retin-A, and exfoliating acids on the treatment area to reduce irritation.

  • Limit alcohol intake — alcohol can thin blood and increase bruising.

  • Stay hydrated and keep your skin moisturized with gentle products.

3–5 Days Before

  • Avoid facials, waxing, chemical peels, or aggressive skincare treatments in the injection area.

  • Skip self-tanning lotions or sprays on the face to ensure clear, clean skin.

  • Continue to protect skin with sunscreen (SPF 30+).

Day Before

  • No alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.

  • Wash your face gently and avoid harsh scrubs or masks.

  • Get a good night’s rest so your skin is calm and balanced.

Day Of Treatment

  • Arrive with a clean face — no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the injection area.

  • Eat a small meal before your appointment (never come on an empty stomach).

  • Wear comfortable clothing and avoid hats/headbands that could press on treated areas afterward.

  • Be ready to discuss your goals — whether it’s smoothing forehead lines, lifting brows, or softening crow’s feet.
