• Please avoid blood-thinning drugs and supplements for one week before your appointment for best outcomes and to reduce bleeding or bruising at the injection site. Avoid Aspirin, Motrin, ibuprofen, Aleve, Garlic, vitamin E, Ginko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and omega-3 capsules. Please consult your doctor before discontinuing aspirin use if you have a history of cardiovascular disease.  
• For two days before treatment, avoid topical creams containing Tretinoin (Retin-A), retinol, retinoids, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, or other “anti-ageing” ingredients. 
• Don’t drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours before or after your treatment to minimize excessive bruising. 
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to components, or have any neurological issues, you should avoid using dermal fillers.

• After the treatment, do not apply anything to the skin until the next day: There’s no makeup, no cleanser, and moisturizer! 
• Do not manipulate, massage, or touch the injection site. Avoid strenuous exertion on treatment day. 
• During the first 12 hours, apply ice packs to the treated region. Every hour, ice for 15 minutes. 
• After filler injections, avoid dental work for 30 days. 

Don’t sleep on your side or stomach to prevent distributing the substance. Instead, we recommend sleeping on your back and using pillows to keep yourself stable. 

• Sleep with your head up for 2-3 days if you feel swelling. 
• If you have any slight tenderness or discomfort, you can take acetaminophen/Tylenol.

• Any other skin care or laser treatments should be done after four weeks.
