Pre-Care

3 DAYS BEFORE treatment:

• AVOID topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, or other “anti-aging” products. Also AVOID waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or the use of hair removal cream on the area to be treated.

7 DAYS BEFORE treatment (to prevent bruising):

• AVOID blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve. Also avoid herbal supplements, such as Garlic, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Omega-3 capsules.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising.
• Inform your provider if you have a history of Perioral Herpes to receive advice on antiviral therapy prior to treatment.
• Do not use XEOMIN® if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders. Please inform your provider if you have any questions about this prior to the treatment.

Post Care 

• It is best to try to exercise your treated muscles for 1-2 hours after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raising your eyebrows, and squinting). This helps to work XEOMIN® into your muscles.
• Stay in a vertical position for four hours following aesthetic. Sit upright and DO NOT “rest your head” or lie down.
• You may apply a cold gel pack or ice to the area treated (avoiding pressure) as this help to reduce swelling and prevent potential bruising.
• Once you have adequately iced/cooled the area(s) as instructed and any pinpoint bleeding from the aesthetic site has fade away, you may begin wearing make-up.
• AVOID placing excessive pressure on the treated area(s) for the first few days; when cleansing your face or applying makeup, be very gentle.
• AVOID exercise or strenuous activities for the remainder of the treatment day; you may resume other normal activities/routines immediately.
• You may take Acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort.
• AVOID extended UV exposure until any redness/swelling has subsided. Be sure to apply an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
• Wait a minimum of 24 hours before receiving any skin care or laser treatments.
