Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or supplements which may thin your blood (i.e. vitamin e, fish oil, St. John’s Wort, etc.) for 7 days before treatment. These agents may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Tylenol is ok.

Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before your treatment.

No caffeine 24 hours before your treatment.

Post injection, ensure that your pillowcase, bedding and anything else your face may have contact with is clean and freshly laundered.

Talk with your treatment provider to make sure you are a good candidate and set realistic expectations.

Keep upright for the first 4 hours.

When making plans for the first 48-72 hours post injections, understand the possibility of swelling, redness, and bruising.
