Before Your Appointment...
*Please arrive with a clean face (no makeup) to maximize your consultation and treatment time. If you do arrive with make up on we can provide facial wash for you.
*Since filler results and adverse reactions rely heavily on your immune system, please wait 1 month before or 1 month after any recent illness, dental procedures, medical procedures or immunization/vaccines.
*To minimize bruising please stop any unnecessary medications that can increase the risk, such as aspirin, fish oil, vit E, St Johns Wart, anti-inflammatories, etc for 1 week. Avoid alcohol for 2 days prior.
*To minimize swelling, it is advised to take an antihistamine such as Zyrtec or Claritin for a week prior to your injections and avoid spicy foods two days prior.
*Travel If you plan on receiving filler, it is not not advised to fly or go out of town for 2 days. While extremely rare, serious side effects may occur and your injector may need to see you in the office ASAP to reverse any major complication.
After Your Botox Appointment...
*NO RUBBING for the rest of the day Botox was placed in a very specific area of the muscle that is causing the wrinkle. Any kind of rubbing can cause the Botox to move into the wrong area, resulting in no reponse, partial response or unwated response. Anthing that causes rubbing should be avoided - such as getting a facial or face treatment, massage where you are laying face down, wearing a hat, going scuba diving, etc, etc.
