But the truth is: when planning for an injectables appointment, there are a range of things to consider, for the sake of your personal well-being, your safety, and (obviously) the best aesthetic results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to keep these important points of advice in mind, so you can feel your best, look your best, and carry on with your life. From your social life to exercise and everything in between, here\u2019s what to do \u2013 and what not to do \u2013 before receiving any injectables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#TrustEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#TrustEN\">Relax &amp; Trust<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#supplementsEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#supplementsEN\">Check your vitamins and your supplements<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#bruiseEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#bruiseEN\">Booze = bruise<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#sportEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#sportEN\">Hold off on excessive sport<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#videoEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#videoEN\">Pose for a picture or make a video<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#ofEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#ofEN\">Keep it natural, kind of<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#itEN\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#itEN\">Know your goals, but let the expert do it<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"TrustEN\">Relax &amp; Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to each successful treatment and a great result is to trust sour doctor. Specialists like me know their game and have studied years for treating you individually You are my only concern in that moment and my heart goes into every patient\u2019s goals. When you and the doctor meet eye to eye make yourself comfortable and relax. Before you start your treatment, the assistants and nurses will prepare you with all the necessary information and the pre-treatment routine. They are trained with the greatest care from my side to make you feel comfortable and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"supplementsEN\">Check your vitamins and your supplements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at your vitamins. If your multivitamin contains vitamin E, you should hold off on taking it until after your procedure. Many people aren\u2019t aware of the supplements, such as fish oil, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, and a few others, that thin your blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bruiseEN\">Booze = bruise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid planning your best friend\u2019s birthday rager for the night before your injection appointment. Get a good night\u2019s rest. Drinking alcohol before your appointment increases the likelihood of bruising. Alcohol dilates blood vessels, causing them to expand and flow closer to the surface of the skin and be more susceptible to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sportEN\">Hold off on excessive sport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderate exercise before a botox or filler appointment is absolutely fine, we all do know about the benefits for our health. Just go easy on excessive sports before a treatment. Don\u2019t schedule yoga, Pilates, a long run, or a personal training session for the day before or after your filler or neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport) to prevent bruising, migration, or shorter or decreased results. Take a day rest after the treatment and put those legs up for a quieter day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\" style=\"line-height:.9\">Still undecided?

In our practice we do take professional pictrues before the treatment as well of course, the medical documentation requires that from us. But having a reminder on your phone of how nice the effect of botox or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/face-tightening\/facial-contouring-with-fillers\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/face-tightening\/facial-contouring-with-fillers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">facial contouring<\/a> will look on your face is an everyday reminder, that you are doing a wonderful thing for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ofEN\">Keep it natural, kind of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Go into your appointment with the mind-set that less is more, when it comes to Botox injections. It is better to have a few lines but still maintain some normal facial expressions than to be completely smooth but have a frozen, artificial-looking face. In my opinion, when Botox is overdone, it actually makes the patient look not only odd but much older as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"itEN\">Know your goals, but let the expert do it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is very helpful to know what you want the doctor to change or accomplish for you, don\u2019t tell them how to do it. So many patients come in and say, \u2018I want Restylane for my lines,\u2019 when it may not be the correct filler for what they want accomplished \u2013 or they point to lines in their cheeks and ask for Botox when only fillers will work. Know your goals, but let the doctor figure out how to get you there. This is not the place for micromanagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior to stepping into a doctor\u2019s office \u2013 and even before scheduling an appointment \u2013 consider these specific and helpful tips from board-certified Dr. Kelly Vasileiadou who administers Botox and fillers as part of her everyday jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":22059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,124,111,127],"tags":[247],"class_list":["post-22061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gesicht-artikel","category-botox-en","category-face-article-en","category-filler-en","tag-dr-kelly-en-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22061"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40304,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22061\/revisions\/40304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drkelly.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
