For two days prior to your treatment:

Recent studies have found that people deficient in the mineral zinc do not get optimal results from botox, since the mineral is required by the body to bind with botox. Therefore, to get the best results, you are advised to ideally take a zinc supplement for a couple of days prior to your treatment, and on the day of treatment.

For four hours following your treatment:

• Do actively contract and use your muscles, work your face with lots of smiling and frowning.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Botox Aftercare

Can I have a Botox treatment if I am on antibiotics?

Probably not. In some cases, treating a client on antibiotics with Botox can create the risk your body will develop antibodies to the Botox itself. We therefore need to know which antibiotics you are on and the reason you are on them to ensure you can be safely treated with Botox.
