Post-Treatment Instructions

Please read this in its entirety for important post-treatment instructions.

• DO NOT: touch, press, rub or manipulate the implanted areas for the rest of the day after treatment. Avoid kissing, puckering and sucking movements for the rest of the day as these motor movements can undesirably displace the implanted dermal filler material. You can cause irritation, sores, scarring and/or other problems if you do.

• AVOID: Alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplements, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates (you may eat fruit), spicy foods, straws, and cigarettes for three (3) days after your treatment. Alcohol may thin the blood which will increase the risk of bleeding/bruising.

• AVOID: anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications for one (1) week after treatment. Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx and other NSAIDS are all blood thinning and can increase the risk of bruising/swelling after injections.

• AVOID: Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any other essential fatty acids for one (1) week after treatment.

• DISCONTINUE: Retin-A two (2) days after treatment.

• AVOID: Vigorous exercise and sun and heat exposure for three (3) days after treatment.

• AVOID: makeup or lipstick on treated areas for three (3) days-- earlier use can cause pustules.

• REMEMBER: One side may heal faster than the other side.

• You can expect some bruising and swelling around the areas that were injected. You may apply ice for the first hour after treatment for ten minutes on and ten minutes off.

• You must wait at least two (2) weeks before any enhancements.

• ***Please report any redness, blisters, or itching to the healthcare provider immediately***
