Before receiving Botox or Dysport treatment, avoid taking medications such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or blood thinners, which can increase the chances of bruising. Also, avoid alcohol and smoking, which can slow the healing process. It is always best to have a consultation with our healthcare provider to discuss your medical history and any medications you are currently taking.

After treatment, it’s best to avoid strenuous physical activity, sun exposure, saunas, or other forms of heat therapy for at least 24 hours. Also, try not to lie down or bend over excessively for the first few hours after treatment to prevent the injected material from spreading to other areas. To alleviate any minor discomfort or swelling, you may apply a cool pack to the treated area.

While Botox and Dysport are generally safe procedures, some people may experience side effects such as pain at the injection site, swelling, redness, or bruising. Some people may experience headaches, mild nausea, or temporary muscle weakness.

The effects of Botox usually last between 3-4 months, and Dysport effects last between 2-3 months. However, it’s important to note that this can vary from person to person. We recommend scheduling a consultation at B Whole Cosmetic Aesthetics to determine the best treatment plan for you.

As a safety precaution, it’s generally recommended to avoid these treatments if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Although there’s no concrete evidence of harm, not enough studies have been conducted to confirm their safety during these periods.

Yes, when properly administered, Botox and Dysport still allow for facial expressions. The treatment targets specific muscles that cause wrinkles while leaving other facial muscles unaffected. At B Whole Cosmetic Aesthetics, we strive for natural-looking results, ensuring you can still express yourself fully.
