SAME DAY TREATMENT
The most common adverse effects to any injectable procedure includes bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness at site and risk for infection.
To minimize these unwanted effects we ask that you try to follow a few simple rules.
First, avoid makeup for the day of treatment and be prepared to have areas of your skin cleansed thoroughly with an antiseptic. You should not reapply your makeup in injected sites unless demonstrated by the injector only after a prescribed amount of time has passed because you can damage treatment results.
We also ask that you refrain from taking alcohol, blood thinners, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, sleeping aids, allergy medications, aspirin, ibuprofen, St. John's Wort, Vitamin E, Omega 3s, Ginkgo biloba, and/or Ginseng on the same day unless directed by a physician.
If you want dermal filler treatments you must have finished and been off antibiotics for 2 weeks. You must wait 2 weeks after doing any dental work or any vaccinations before scheduling an appointment.
By preparing for your treatment you can minimize all the common unwanted side effects listed above and the duration they last.
