If you have scheduled a visit for cosmetic Botox treatment at our clinic in Ottawa then there are a few things that our specialists recommend doing in the time leading up to your visit including: Do not drink wine or other alcoholic beverages in the week prior to your treatment. Anti-inflammatory medications should be avoided for 1 week before Botox therapy. Avoid foods that can increase your risk of bruising such as garlic. Don't take medications that can thin your blood such as Asprin or Motrin.
