No. What makes Botox in Fort Collins so effective is that it prevents the involuntary muscle contractions that create wrinkles, meaning you can continue to make voluntary contractions like smiling, frowning, and other natural facial expressions.

Benefits of Botox
Safe
Botox is one of the most (if not the most) researched cosmetic injectables of all time and has been FDA-approved to treat multiple aesthetic and medical issues.
Versatile
Botox is approved to treat many issues including wrinkles, migraines, and more. It can also be combined with other treatments.
Effective
At Xanadu Med Spa, Botox is the go-to treatment for preventing future wrinkles and maintaining smooth skin.
How It Works
Botox works by using a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A. By injecting small, purified doses, we can stop some of the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles in the first place.
With these involuntary contractions stopped, you can maintain your youthful appearance for much longer. And the best thing about Botox in Fort Collins—it can treat almost all areas of your face!
Get Started
Not sure where to start? You can find the best treatment using our treatment planning tool. Simply input your unique concerns, and we will send you a personalized list of recommended treatments that will help you accomplish your goals.
What to Expect
When you’re ready for Botox, we’ll have you lie down on our treatment table and our injector will use an alcohol wipe to clean the treatment area. This will help prevent infections from occurring after your injections.
Treatment can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes depending on what areas of the face you are treating. You should be completely comfortable during your injections and will be able to return to your daily activities as normal after your appointment is finished.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will help make your appointment for Botox in Fort Collins go smoothly.
Avoid These Medications
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, and blood thinners (fish oil, vitamin E) for 10 days before your Botox appointment.
Stop Using Retinoid Products
Stop using all retinol or retinoid products 2 days before your appointment to ensure your skin isn’t too sensitive during your injections.
No Alcohol/Tobacco
Stop using alcohol and tobacco products 2 days before your appointment, as these will prevent your skin from healing.
Take Zinc Supplements
Studies have shown that higher amounts of Zinc in the body during the time of injection can heighten the efficacy of Botox’s effects.
Drink Water
Being well-hydrated can help your body heal faster and make the effects of Botox last longer.
Avoid Tanning
Use a minimum of SPF 30 when in direct sunlight, and avoid tanning beds and tanning lotions for the week before your injections.
Post-Treatment Instructions
Following these instructions will help your skin heal faster and maintain your Botox results.
Do Not Touch
Do not touch or massage the areas of your face that were treated with Botox. This could move the material from the spot where it needs to be.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Continue to avoid tanning lotions, tanning beds, and direct sunlight for a week following your appointment. Make sure to wear a minimum of SPF 30 when in direct sunlight.
Stay Upright
Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours after your treatment to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.
No Strenuous Activity
Do not work out or do any strenuous activity for at least 24 hours following your appointment for Botox in Fort Collins.
Avoid Irritants
For one week after your appointment, avoid using products or treatments that will irritate your skin like scrubs, toners, and abrasive cleansers.
Sleep Elevated
Make sure your head is slightly elevated when you sleep to help reduce swelling.

About Xanadu
Ever since Mark first purchased Xanadu in 2015, our goal has been to help our clients feel beautiful inside and out.
When we learned our day spa and few aesthetic services weren’t helping our clients achieve their goals, we began incorporating more medical aesthetics into our services.
Now, we offer the largest selection of treatments in the North Denver area and continue our work improving the lives of our clients one treatment at a time.
