PRE-CARE FOR YOUR INJECTABLES:

To reduce the risk of bleeding, please stop the following five days prior to procedure:


  1. supplements including vitamin e, fish oil, and all supplements that start with a "g" including but not limited to ginseng, gingko biloba, garlic, etc.
  2. Aspirin and NSAIDs such as Aleve and Ibuprofen can also increase bleeding risk, and it is recommended that you try to avoid these as well prior to your injections, unless prescribed by a physician. Please discuss your options with your injector if taking blood thinners.
  3. Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to injections for optimal results.
  4. For filler, no dental work two weeks prior or post injection day.

AFTER CARE FOR YOUR INJECTABLES:

Aftercare instructions for neuromodulators and fillers:


  1. Tiny bumps or marks are not unusual after the procedure and typically go away within a few hours after your treatment. There is a small risk of bruising. This will only be temporary and can be covered up with makeup. Any little bit of bruising may last up to one week.
  2. Do not have a facial nor rub or massage the treated area for 24 hours after your treatment, this includes any type of microdermabrasion or other activities that may manipulate the injection sites and displace the filler. Make sure you discuss any planned events and/or procedures with your specialist as there is some recommended wait time after neuromodulators and fillers.
  3. Due to the risk of infection, it is not recommended that you apply any cosmetics, moisturizer, or SPF for 12 hours post procedure. Do not apply anything to cause pressure or discomfort

Aftercare instructions for neuromodulators:

  1. After the neuromodulator is placed into the targeted muscles, the weakening effect gradually begins anywhere from 3-7 days and is not complete for two weeks. Therefore, optimal results are not seen for at least fourteen days.

  3. Do not exercise or lay down flat for at least four hours post injection.
  4. Neuromodulators last approximately 3-4 months, and in some cases shorter or longer in duration. It is recommended you maintain the recommended treatment frequency to get optimal results.

Aftercare instructions for filler:

  1. It is common to experience bruising, redness or some swelling post filler. This will all go down in time.
