Welcome to Beauty by Blume, today, we will talk about preparing for your BOTOX® or Dysport® appointment. These popular treatments can help smooth out wrinkles and give you a refreshed look. Here's what you need to know: 

What to Avoid Before Your Appointment: 

Before your appointment, it's important to avoid certain things to ensure the best results. Stay away from blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory drugs to minimize bruising. Also, it's best to skip intense workouts right before your treatment. 

What to Expect During Your Appointment: 

When you arrive at Beauty by Blume, Dr. Kristen Blume will discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan for you. The actual injection process is quick and relatively painless, with most patients reporting only mild discomfort. 

After your appointment, you may experience some redness or swelling at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Results usually start to show in a few days and can last for several months. 

Remember to follow any post-care instructions provided by Dr. Blume to ensure optimal results. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to support you every step of the way!
