Please inform your provider prior to treatment if you have a history of cold sores. The doctor will write a prescription to pre-treat to eliminate chances of you developing a cold sore post treatment.
Avoid blood thinners 10-14 days prior to treatment. Blood thinners can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections. Blood thinners are: Aspirin, Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil Supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS (unless contraindicated by your physician and is medically necessary).
Avoid alcohol 3-7 days prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase risk of bruising).
Avoid dental work, including cleanings, for 2weeksbefore and 2 weeks after dermal fillers.
It takes about 1-2 weeks for bruising and swelling to subside, and up to 4 weeks for filler to settle. Please plan special events and occasions accordingly.
Be sure to have food and drink prior to injectables. This may decrease the chances of lightheadedness.
Begin arnica tablets 3 days before your treatment (unless you have blood pressure issues or is contraindicated by your physician).
Reschedule your appointment in advance if you have a rash, cold sore, or infection in the treatment area.
