Before getting Botox: Tell your injecting physician all medical conditions, prescription and over-the-counter medications you are taking. Check what medications or herb supplements you should avoid to reduce the risk of bruising. Ask your doctor about any concerns before your treatment.

Routine procedures: Before a Botox injection you should stay off medicines that increase bruising. Aspirin, Motrin, Vitamin E, Omega fatty acids are a few of the products that increase bruising.
