I’m getting Botox for the first time soon. I am getting one blood test done and I was considering scheduling my blood work appointment one day before getting Botox. Is it OK to have this one blood test done one day prior to getting Botox? I wasn’t sure if getting blood drawn a day before Botox would cause any negative side effects to my Botox result. If it’s not OK, what is the minimum amount of days I need to get the blood work done before getting Botox?
