Thank you for choosing The Palm Medspa + Wellness for your treatment. To help you achieve the best results and minimize risks, we’ve outlined important pre-care and post-care instructions for neurotoxin procedures, including Xeomin, Dysport & Botox.
Every treatment is unique, and your provider may give you additional personalized recommendations. Please review the guidelines carefully before and after your appointment. Following these instructions will:
Enhance the effectiveness of your treatment
Support your body’s natural healing process
Reduce the likelihood of complications or side effects
If you have any questions before or after your treatment, or if you experience anything unexpected, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities.
Seek medical help immediately if you have trouble swallowing, breathing, speaking, muscle weakness or vision changes.
Following the steps below prior to your treatment will help you achieve optimal results and minimize side effects.
72 hours prior to your appointment
Stop taking Ibuprofen, Motrin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil and Advil. These should be avoided for at least 48 hours after your appointment as well.
48 hours prior to your appointment
Avoid sun exposure and stop taking any Retinol products. Sun exposure can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of complications, while Retinol may heighten irritation or interfere with the healing process.
24 hours prior to your appointment
Refrain from alcohol consumption and smoking. Both can interfere with the healing process, increase the risk of bruising or swelling, and slow your body’s ability to recover.
To ensure your results last and look their best, follow these post-care instructions closely. Proper aftercare will help your skin heal smoothly and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.
4 hours after your appointment
Remain upright (avoid lying down, bending over, or leaning back) for at least 4 hours following your treatment. This precaution helps prevent the product from shifting away from the intended injection sites, ensuring that it settles properly and delivers the most accurate results. During this time, avoid activities such as napping, yoga, or anything that places your head below your heart.
8 hours after your appointment
Avoid applying makeup for at least 8 hours after your treatment. This gives your skin time to recover at the injection sites and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. When you do resume wearing makeup, use only clean brushes or sponges to prevent introducing bacteria to the treated areas.
48 hours after your appointment
Avoid heavy exercise or any strenuous physical activity. Increased blood flow and heat from workouts can reduce neurotoxin effectiveness and increasing the risk of bruising or swelling. Gentle movement, such as walking, is fine during this period.
You should also avoid rubbing, pressing, or massaging the treated areas. Touching the injection sites can spread the product to unintended muscles and interfere with your results. Be mindful when washing your face, applying skincare, or resting your head on a pillow to keep the treatment area undisturbed.
2 weeks after your appointment
Avoid massages, facials, or any treatments that apply pressure to the face. These activities can disrupt the placement of the product and cause it to spread to unintended areas.
During this time, also avoid using facial rollers, gua sha tools, or other devices that press or glide across the skin. Giving your skin a break from these treatments ensures the neurotoxin settles properly and provides the most precise results.
General Upkeep
Take a daily zinc supplement, as it will help support skin health and potentially extend the longevity of your results. Always follow your healthcare provider’s recommended dosage and consult them if you have any questions about supplementation.
If you notice redness, bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, applying a cold compress can help provide relief. Use the compress gently for short intervals—around 10–15 minutes at a time—to reduce inflammation without putting pressure on the treated areas.
