Pre-appointment Instructions

1. Immunizations and Dental Work: Avoid appointments if you had immunizations or dental work in the past 14 days or have them scheduled within two weeks of your filler appointment. Contact us to reschedule.
2. Illness: If you’ve been recently ill or don’t feel well, please reschedule your appointment.
3. Bruising and Swelling: Schedule injections to avoid social obligations disruption. While we minimize bruising, it’s still possible.
4. Blood Thinners: Stop Advil, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Aspirin, Motrin, Vitamin E, fish oil, flax, gingko biloba, garlic, St. John’s Wort, and other NSAIDs 7-10 days before treatment. Consult your physician before stopping prescribed medications.
5. Alcohol: Avoid alcohol 24 hours before treatment.
6. Arnica: Consider Arnica one week before treatment to help with bruising and swelling.
7. Medication Changes: Inform us of any new medications since your initial visit.
8. Cold Sores: Notify us if you have a history of cold sores. We may recommend antiviral medication. Reschedule if you have open sores in the treatment area.
9. Clean Skin: Arrive with clean skin; light moisturizer and SPF are okay, but avoid heavy makeup.
10. Hydration: Stay hydrated; filler draws in water, and dehydration can affect results.
11. Eat Before Appointment: Have a meal or snack before your appointment.
12. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: We cannot treat pregnant or breastfeeding women.
