Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using products that contain retinoids (like Retin-A or Differin), glycolic acid, or other exfoliating agents at least 1-2 weeks before your treatment. These can make your skin more sensitive. Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin well-moisturized in the weeks leading up to the treatment to ensure it's in the best condition possible. Avoid Waxing and Shaving: Avoid any waxing or shaving of the area to be treated for at least 5-7 days before your peel to prevent irritation.

Clean Face: On the day of the treatment, make sure your face is clean and free of makeup, creams, and lotions.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds. Follow the 7 day regimen given to you by your provider closely, then use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily to protect your skin. Sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation and hinder the healing process. Keep Skin Hydrated: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer as recommended by your skincare provider. Keeping your skin well-moisturized helps with healing and reduces the likelihood of excessive peeling. Avoid Picking or Scratching: As your skin peels and flakes, resist the urge to pick or scratch. This can lead to scarring or infection. Use Gentle Skincare Products: Stick to gentle, non-irritating cleansers and avoid products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), retinoids, or other exfoliants until your skin has fully healed. Avoid Strenuous Exercise: For the first 48 hours post-treatment, avoid heavy exercise and sweating, as this can irritate your skin and affect the peeling process. Follow Provider Instructions: Use any specific products or follow any special instructions given by your skincare provider. They may recommend specific treatments or products to use during the recovery period. Avoid Heat: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for the first few days after your peel, as excessive heat can irritate your skin. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing process. Monitor Your Skin: If you experience severe redness, swelling, or other concerning symptoms, contact your skincare provider for guidance.

Avoid Blood Thinners: For at least 1-2 weeks before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil, unless directed otherwise by your healthcare provider. This can help reduce the risk of bruising. Refrain from Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours before your treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Avoid Certain Skincare Products: Discontinue the use of any exfoliating products or strong topical treatments (like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids) for a few days before your treatment to avoid skin irritation. Consult Your Practitioner: Discuss any medical conditions, medications, or allergies with your practitioner prior to treatment. Ensure they know if you have a history of neuromuscular disorders or any other health concerns such as heart disease, emphysema, asthma, recent surgery, skin infection or respiratory infection. Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Botox/Dysport/Daxxify is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Arrive with Clean Skin: Make sure your face is clean and free from makeup or skincare products when you arrive for your treatment.
Avoid Touching the Area: Do not massage, rub, or touch the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent spreading the Botox to unintended muscles. Stay Upright: Remain in an upright position for at least 4 hours after the treatment. Avoid lying down or bending over too much, as this can help prevent the Botox from migrating. Avoid Exercise: Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise or activities that cause sweating for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of complications. Avoid Heat: Stay away from hot environments, such as saunas, hot tubs, or excessive sun exposure for at least 24-48 hours. Heat can potentially affect the distribution of the Botox. No Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after treatment to minimize the risk of bruising and swelling. Do Not Massage: Avoid facial massages or treatments for 14 days post-treatment. Follow Up: Attend any follow-up appointments as recommended by your practitioner to assess the results and address any concerns.
