Pre-operative Instructions

-Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment 

-If possible, avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications ideally for a period of two (2) weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, Gingo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDs are all blood thinning. These can increase bruising and swelling post-op.

-Avoid wearing any make-up to your treatment visit.
