Important Pre-Treatment Instructions

To Reduce the Chance of Bruising, Avoid the Following

Aspirin
Pain Relievers (Tylenol okay)
Coumadin (get primary physician approval first)
Fish oil
Glucosamine
Ginko Biloba
Vitamin E
Exotic or Herbal Supplements
Have you ever had a cold sore? If so, please call our office and we will write you a prescription for Valtrex (an anti-viral)

Have water and a little something to eat before arriving. We suggest you not eat right after treatments around the mouth - letting the product "settle" a few hours will give you the best results.

After The Treatment

Note: no alcohol for 24 hours after treatment
No increased blood pressure (i.e. sauna, hot tub, exercise, cardio) for 4 hours post treatment (Helps prevent bruising)
It is recommended that make up not be applied until 1 hour after treatment to allow the skin to breathe
Avoid excessive facial expressions and strenuous exercise for 4 hours after your treatment. (This helps the product to "settle" without disturbing the location where it was injected.)
Do not rub or massage the area for 24 hours unless instructed to do so (Sculptra patients will receive instructions for massage)
Redness and swelling may last for 1-2 days
There is a risk of bruising which is only temporary and can be covered up with make-up.
