Smooth, Stunning, and Confident: Your Guide to JEUVEAU®, BOTOX®, & DYSPORT®
Pre-Treatment Guidelines for JEUVEAU®, BOTOX®, and DYSPORT® Injections
To ensure the best possible results and minimize the risk of complications, please review the following guidelines before your appointment:
- Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup, lotions, or skincare products.
- If you have a special event planned, schedule your treatment at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance to allow full results to settle.
- If you have recently been ill, wait at least 2 weeks after a mild virus and 4 weeks after a serious virus before receiving injections to allow your immune system to recover.
- Wait at least 2 weeks after receiving a vaccine before undergoing treatment.
- If you are currently taking antibiotics or steroids, complete the course of medication before your appointment and inform your provider.
- Avoid over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), aspirin, Aleve, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, or vitamin E for 3 to 5 days before treatment, as they may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. If you take a prescribed blood thinner, consult your physician before treatment.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol for 48 hours prior to your appointment, as it can contribute to bruising and bleeding.
- If you are on an immunosuppressant or have a neuromuscular disorder, consult your physician for clearance before receiving injections.
- If you have recently had laser treatments, microneedling, or chemical peels, ensure that the treated areas are completely healed before proceeding with injections.
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of swelling or bruising.
- Inform your provider of all medical conditions and medications you are currently taking.
Post-Treatment Care for JEUVEAU®, BOTOX®, and DYSPORT®
Proper aftercare is essential to achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects. Please follow these guidelines:
- Results take time to develop. You may begin to see effects within 4 to 7 days, with full results appearing in 14 days. If movement persists beyond this period, a touch-up may be necessary.
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 72 hours to prevent the product from migrating to unintended areas.
- Remain upright for 4 to 6 hours after treatment and avoid lying down during this period.
- Sleep on your back for the first few nights to minimize pressure on the treated areas.
- Avoid heat exposure for at least 24 hours, including direct sunlight, hot showers, saunas, and tanning beds.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 48 hours to minimize the risk of bruising.
- Mild headaches are common within the first 24 to 48 hours. If necessary, you may take Tylenol as directed on the packaging.
- Do not undergo any additional facial procedures in the treated areas for at least 2 weeks after injections.
- If you experience any concerns, contact your provider during business hours. In the event of an emergency, seek immediate medical attention.
- Schedule a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks to assess your results and determine if any adjustments are needed.
Plump, Perfect, and Radiant: Your Guide to Restylane® & JUVÉDERM® Dermal Fillers
At Meridian Wellness & MedSpa, we offer a selection of premium dermal fillers to help our clients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance.

These fillers provide instant volume enhancement while supporting long-term skin hydration and smoothness.
Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution for facial contouring and volume restoration. They are commonly used to:
- Enhance facial balance and structure
- Restore lost volume in the cheeks, jawline, and temples
- Smooth deep wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Define and rejuvenate lips, vertical lip lines, and chin creases
When is Dermal Filler an Appropriate Choice?
- At least 4 to 6 weeks before a special event to allow for optimal results
- For natural-looking enhancements that refine and restore facial features
- For immediate results with little to no downtime
Why Consider Dermal Fillers?
- Enhance lip volume with a subtle, natural look or a more plump appearance
- Smooth wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth and lips
- Hydrate and rejuvenate lips for a soft, youthful appearance
- Improve facial symmetry and definition
- Achieve balanced, well-proportioned facial contours
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of results depends on the specific dermal filler product used and individual factors. In general, results can last between 6 to 18 months before a maintenance treatment is needed.
At Meridian Wellness & MedSpa, our expert team customizes each treatment to meet your aesthetic goals, ensuring natural, long-lasting results. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, we are here to guide you through your journey to enhanced confidence and beauty.
