Before a Botox session, your skincare routine can make a real difference in how your skin responds. Certain ingredients, while beneficial for daily use, can increase sensitivity and bruising risk if used too close to your appointment. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, patients in New York City often ask which products to pause—and here’s what you need to know.
- Retinol and exfoliating acids: Ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid can thin the skin’s surface, heightening the chance of irritation or redness after injections.
- Vitamin E and fish oil supplements: These can affect blood clotting, which may lead to minor bruising around injection sites.
- NSAIDs and strong actives: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and high-potency serums for at least 24–48 hours before treatment to minimize swelling.
- Alcohol-based toners: These dry out the skin and make it more reactive to needle entry.
Dr. Lanna’s approach combines artistry with medical precision to deliver refined, balanced results that heal beautifully. A few simple skincare adjustments before Botox can help ensure a smoother, more comfortable recovery—and a flawless finish worth showing off.
