Ultimate Guide to Dysport at rē Salon and Med Spa: Pre-Care, Post-Care, and Medical Safety Recommendations

Welcome to rē Salon and Med Spa’s comprehensive guide on Dysport! Whether you’re new to Dysport or a seasoned pro, following these pre-care, post-care, and medical safety guidelines will help you achieve the best results while ensuring your safety. At rē Salon and Med Spa in Charlotte, we prioritize your well-being and beauty.

Pre-Care Tips for Dysport at Rē Salon and Med Spa

  1. Schedule a Consultation: Before your Dysport treatment at rē Salon and Med Spa, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with one of our qualified providers. Discuss your medical history, allergies, and any medications you are taking. This helps us tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
  2. Avoid Blood Thinners: To minimize the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for at least a week before your treatment. If you’re on prescription blood thinners, consult with your doctor before stopping any medication.
  3. Skip Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol can increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling.
  4. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your Dysport appointment. Hydrated skin can help achieve better results.
  5. Avoid Cosmetic Treatments: Avoid facials, chemical peels, and other cosmetic treatments for at least a week before your Dysport session to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
  6. Plan Your Appointment Wisely: Schedule your Dysport treatment at rē Salon and Med Spa at least two weeks before any significant events to allow time for any potential side effects, such as bruising or swelling, to subside.

Post-Care Tips for Dysport at Rē Salon and Med Spa

  1. Stay Upright: After your Dysport treatment, keep your head elevated for at least four hours. Avoid lying down or bending over to prevent the Dysport from migrating to unintended areas.
  2. Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This helps ensure that the Dysport remains in the targeted muscles.
  3. Skip Strenuous Activities: Avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and other strenuous activities for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Increased blood flow can cause the Dysport to spread to unintended areas.
  4. Avoid Heat Exposure: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, and prolonged sun exposure for 24-48 hours after your treatment. Heat can increase the risk of swelling and bruising.
  5. Use Ice Packs: If you experience any swelling or discomfort, apply an ice pack to the treated areas for short intervals. This can help reduce inflammation and provide relief.
  6. Follow Up: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your provider at rē Salon and Med Spa to assess the results and discuss any concerns. This is also an excellent time to plan future treatments.

Medical Safety Guidelines and Recommendations at Rē Salon and Med Spa

  1. Choose a Qualified Provider: Ensure that your Dysport injections are administered by a licensed and experienced medical professional at rē Salon and Med Spa. This reduces the risk of complications and ensures optimal results.
  2. Be Honest About Your Medical History: Always provide your provider with a complete medical history, including any allergies, medications, and previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for your safety.
  3. Know the Possible Side Effects: Understand the potential side effects of Dysport, which can include bruising, swelling, headache, and, in rare cases, drooping eyelids or eyebrows. Knowing what to expect can help you manage any post-treatment concerns.
  4. Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhering to your provider’s post-treatment care instructions is essential for minimizing side effects and achieving the best possible results.
  5. Report Any Adverse Reactions: If you experience any unusual or severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing, vision problems, or muscle weakness, contact your provider at rē Salon and Med Spa immediately.
  6. Avoid Frequent Touch-Ups: While Dysport is a safe and effective treatment, avoid over-treating. Overuse can lead to resistance or undesired effects. Follow your provider’s recommendations for the timing of touch-ups.
  7. Stay Informed: Keep yourself updated with the latest information and recommendations regarding Dysport treatments. Continuous learning can help you make informed decisions about your cosmetic care.
