The rise of neurotoxin treatments like Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify has transformed the way people approach anti-aging care. Unlike invasive surgeries, these injectables deliver natural-looking improvements without disrupting daily life.
What They Treat:
Preparing well makes a difference in both comfort and outcome:
Pause blood-thinning supplements like fish oil or vitamin E (if approved by your doctor), stay hydrated, and plan treatment at least two weeks before special events.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and intense workouts. Consider Arnica supplements to minimize bruising.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Eat a light meal, and bring your medical history. Communicate openly about your goals (softening lines, brow lift, or prevention).
Choosing a provider who takes time to explain dosing and listens to your goals is essential.
Stay upright, avoid touching or massaging treated areas, and skip hats or helmets.
Avoid exercise, saunas, or alcohol. Stick to gentle skincare and sunscreen.
Expect mild swelling or bumps that fade quickly. Skip facials or dental work for 1 week.
Botox and Dysport start to show within 3–5 days, with full results at 2 weeks. Daxxify may take 7–10 days but can last up to 6 months.
