Let’s Talk Tox: What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Thinking about getting tox injections (aka Botox!) but not sure what to expect? Don’t worry—you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place! Whether you’re totally new or just need a little refresher, we’re breaking down exactly what happens during your appointment at Youth Bar.
Before Your Appointment
Before your visit, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for 24–48 hours (unless otherwise directed by your physician). This helps minimize the chance of bruising. No need to show up with a bare face—we’ll give the area a nice cleanse before getting started. Just come as you are, and we’ll take it from there!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out in advance. We love educating our clients and ensuring you feel confident every step of the way
During Your Appointment
When you arrive at Youth Bar, you'll be welcomed into a relaxing and professional space. There’s zero pressure and a team that’s 100% here for you! Here’s how your appointment will typically go:
1. Personalized Consultation
We start every appointment with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll discuss your skin goals, go over your facial anatomy (science meets beauty!), and create a treatment plan that’s all about enhancing your natural look. Our goal is undetectable injectables, not a frozen face! This is your time to ask questions and share any preferences or previous experiences you’ve had.
2. Treatment Plan
Once we’ve mapped out a treatment plan, we’ll explain how Botox injections work, where we’ll place them and what results you can expect. Whether you're targeting frown lines, forehead creases, or crow's feet, our approach is always subtle and natural-looking.
3. The Injections
The treatment itself is super quick—usually around 10–15 minutes. We use a very fine needle, and most clients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch. If you're concerned about discomfort, let us know! We can apply a topical numbing agent for added comfort. Comfort is key here!
After Your Appointment
You’re done! Yep, really. There’s no downtime, so you can get back to your day. However, we’ll share a few aftercare tips to help you get the best results:
Avoid lying down for 3-4 hours post-treatment
Skip heavy exercise and alcohol for 24 hours
Don’t rub or massage the treated areas
You might experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this typically fades within a few hours.
When Will I See Results?
Results don’t show up instantly (sorry, we wish!). You’ll likely start to seeing the effects of your Botox injections within 3–5 days, with full results in about 10–14 days. The smooth, refreshed look can last up to 3–4 months!
Ready to Refresh?
At Youth Bar, our goal is simple: to help you feel like the best version of you. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a tox veteran, we’re all about personalized care, natural-looking results, and a judgment-free vibe.
