Is it okay to take probotics, megazymes and green tea & apple cider vinegar a few days before I have Botox injections?

Thank you for your question botox lynda. I understand your concern. Botox
is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial
expression. I recommend that my patients avoid foods or medications that thin the blood for a few days before and after a treatment. The ingredients in the products should be checked for such blood thinners. Common ones include aspirin, ginko biloba, and vitamin E. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

The supplements you mention should not interfere with risk of bruising.  However, there are some supplements that I generally recommend stopping a few weeks prior to injectables.  These raise your risk of bruising.  They include the following: fish oil, garlic ginko biloba, vit E, aspirin, and pain medications with ibuprofen.  By avoiding these types of products prior to your treatment, bruising risk is minimized and you will be happier.

Hello botox lynda,Thank you for sharing your question with us. There would be no problem using the supplements you have mentioned prior to or after Botox injections. The main concern with certain supplements (fish oil, St. Johns Wort), Aspirin or other NSAIDS is  a potential increased risk for bruising. Continue to live your healthy lifestyle and enjoy your Botox results. Be well.
