Pre-Treatment Instructions For All Injectables:

Please read carefully to ensure the best possible outcome from your treatment.

Before Your Appointment:

Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Alcohol can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.

​

• Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications for at least 2 weeks before treatment, if approved by your healthcare provider. These include:
• Aspirin
• ​Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Aleve, and other NSAIDs
• Vitamin E
• Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, and St. John’s Wort
• Omega-3/Fish Oil supplements
• Consider taking Arnica and Bromelain before and after treatment to help minimize bruising.
• Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before any special events, such as weddings or vacations. Bruising and swelling—especially with dermal fillers—are more noticeable during the first week.
• Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore, or blemish in the treatment area.
• If you have a history of cold sores, let your provider know. An antiviral medication may be recommended prior to treatment.
• Eat and stay hydrated before your procedure. This helps reduce the chance of feeling lightheaded during treatment.
• Please note: Treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Thank you!
