Pre-Treatment Instructions

7 Days Before Your Treatment (to prevent bruising): AVOID blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve. Also avoid herbal supplements such as Garlic, Vitamin E, Turmeric, Ginko Biloba, St. John’s Wart, and Omega-3 Fish Oil.

3 Days Before Your Treatment: AVOID topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, or any “Anti-aging” products. Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or the use of hair removal cream on the area to be treated.

24 Hours Before Your Treatment: AVOID alcoholic beverages and exercise (to limit risk of bruising).

You must be off any antibiotics for 3 days prior to your appointment. If this is not possible, you need to reschedule your appointment.

Do not use Dermal Fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders.

Day of Treatment

Notify your provider with any changes to your health history or medications (antibiotics, vitamins, supplement, etc) since your last appointment. This includes new autoimmune conditions, cancer treatments, recent vaccinations, and/or dental procedures.

If you have previously suffered from cold sores, please inform your injector prior to or during your treatment. There is a chance the needle punctures could contribute to a recurrence. Prescription medication is available that may minimize recurrence of cold sores.

Please do not wear makeup on the day of treatment on the area being treated.

To maximize your comfort during the procedure a topical anesthetic may be applied (especially when treating the lips), please arrive 30 minutes earlier than your appointment and inform the front desk staff
