Cosmetic Patients Please Read Pre Treatment Care Instructions

Prior to your treatment, we kindly request your attention to important pre-treatment care instructions. We want your experience to be safe and effective. Please take a moment to review these guidelines before your visit.

Injectable Patients

Pre-appointment steps

*Do Not Stop any Medical Medication for Any Medical Condition Before checking with your Prescribing Physician.

  1. Do not work out before you come in for injections! Your blood vessels will be dilated due to extra heat. This will increase your chance of bruising. You may resume your normal routine and workouts the next day.
  2. PLEASE arrive 30 minutes earlier for topical numbing cream application and photos. (this will help reduce waiting time)
  3. If possible, PLEASE arrive with a clean face, without makeup. (we understand if you are coming from work)
  4. Please have your hair pulled or clipped back and keep as much hair away from your face as possible.
  5. If you are about to be injected and your photos were not taken, please let us know.

We recommend increasing the following into your diet:

  • Herbal supplements such as Garlic, Gingko, Ginseng, and Ginger
  • Increase foods rich in Vitamin K- leafy greens (kale, collards, and spinach), cauliflower and liver.

We recommend to stop the following:

  • Alcohol (2 weeks preferred - 1 week should be eliminated completely)
  • Aspirin (or aspirin related products)
  • NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Anaprox, Vitamin E, Fish Oils, Omega 3 & 6

(The effects of most anti-inflammatory products can stay in your system up to 2 weeks, we recommend alternatives like Arnica Montana)
