Yes, there are certain medications and supplements it’s best to avoid before and after Botox treatment in Agoura Hills to minimize the risk of bruising and ensure optimal results.
Before Botox (At least 1 week prior, if possible):
- Blood Thinners: Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Naproxen (Aleve), certain supplements (fish oil, vitamin E, garlic, gingko biloba). Consult your doctor before stopping prescribed drugs.
- Antibiotics (in some cases): Certain antibiotics can interact with Botox. Always inform your provider about any medications you’re taking.
After Botox:
- Continue to Avoid Blood Thinners: Resume these only when cleared by your doctor or after any bruising subside.
- Pain relievers (if needed): Tylenol (acetaminophen) is generally a safer choice than ibuprofen or aspirin for pain relief after Botox
Your AIVI Aesthetics provider in Agoura Hills will give you specific, personalized instructions based on your medical history and medications!
