This minimally invasive procedure still comes with risks. Reduce these risks by skipping:
Cigarettes: Put those ciggies away for a few days before getting Botox. Smoking slows down healing and can make skin bruise more easily.
Happy Hour: Alcoholic beverages thin the blood. Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before treatment.
Makeup: Arrive bare faced without cosmetics to give Dr. Mansoor a clean palette.
Medications or Supplements That Thin the Blood: This group includes everything from vitamin E to aspirin. Anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin and Aleve are a no-no too. Some prescriptions may fall within this category as well; check with Dr. Mansoor about which ones. Stop taking blood thinners at least three days before your appointment.
