PREPARING FOR YOUR INJECTABLE TREATMENT
Please note that there is a chance of bruising and/or swelling with any injectable. If you are concerned about this, we recommend waiting to receive injections two weeks before any events.
PRE-TREATMENT
- For 3-5 days avoid any blood thinning agents, including but not limited to: aspirin, NSAIDS (such as ibuprofen, naproxen), St. John’s Wort, Vitamin E, Multivitamins, Krill Oil, Fish Oils, Flaxseed Oils, Omega-3, Gingko, Ginseng, Garlic and Glucosamine.
- No alcohol consumption 2-3 days prior to your appointment.
- Start taking Arnica (an herb that can slow blood clotting time) tablets 3-5 days prior to your appointment - we have these tablets in the office to purchase! Take 5 tabs three times per day for the best effectiveness
- Arnica tabs can be purchased on Amazon, found at most drug stores or we sell them at the spa for $5
- Eating foods that contain bromelain (a protein-digesting enzyme that slows blood clotting time), such as pineapple, 2-5 days prior to your appointment
POST-TREATMENT- Apply Arnica gel to the areas that were treated for 3-5 days after your appointment. In addition, quick dissolving arnica tablets may also be useful to reduce inflammation and bruising.
- Use cold packs (we provide you one in the office prior to leaving) for twenty minutes on and off throughout the day of treatment; this also helps with swelling
- Avoid using any of the blood-thinning medications or supplements listed above for a few days post-procedure to reduce bruising.
- Avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid heavy pressure on the area of filler for the first 24 hours such as sleeping directly on the area or massage
- Wait 24-48 hours to apply any make-up post-procedure to avoid possibility of infection.
