Your Botox & Dysport Treatment Plan
- Schedule your Botox or Dysport appointment at least two weeks before a special event. This gives potential redness, swelling and bruising time to subside and allows your injections to fully set in.
- To minimize bruising or bleeding, we recommend discontinuing the use of aspirin, NSAIDS, gingko biloba, garlic, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamin A, vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least three days to one week before and after treatment. Talk to your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.
- Starting arnica supplements at least two days before injections may help with bruising.
- You may not have an active rash in the area being treated.
- You may not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- The treatment involves injecting low doses of Botox or Dysport right below the skin with very small needles. (The needles are the size of just 3 pieces of hair!)
- Temporary injection site redness and swelling is common and usually goes away within the hour. Feel free to gently apply one of Skin Pharm’s tinted SPFs to camouflage.
- Results from Botox & Dysport start to kick in within 3–5 days and fully onset around 2 weeks.
- You’ll still look like yourself, just the best version!
- Redness or sensitivity might be present post-injection and can last up to a few hours.
- Use Tylenol as needed for possible headaches.
- Don’t manipulate the treated area, wear a hat or lie down for four hours after treatment.
- Don’t perform activities that involve straining, heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for 24 hours after Botox or Dysport treatment.
- Wait at least two weeks before having any other facial treatments (i.e. facials, massages, lasers, ultrasounds or microdermabrasion).
- Results from Botox & Dysport are visible within 3-14 days. If you haven’t seen your desired results after 14 days, you may need additional injections. You’ll be charged for product used during touch-ups and subsequent appointments.

Is Botox the same as filler?
