Before Your Appointment

One week prior to your treatment, avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, Motrin, Aleve or Ibuprofen), Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E or fish oil supplements. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site. If you require a pain remedy during this time period, it is ok to take paracetamol.
Adding leafy greens to your diet will boost your Vitamin K and help to reduce the possibility of bruising and swelling.
Avoid eating apples or large quantities of garlic before your appointment.
Arnica supplements have been shown to reduce discomfort, bruising, and swelling from injectable procedures. Arnica pills may be started the day before or the day of treatment and should be continued until bruising has resolved.
A topical numbing cream may be applied to help with any discomfort. This does require a longer appointment time of an additional 20 minutes for optimal results.
Bruising is possible and therefore, we recommend that you schedule any social plans accordingly for 3 days following your injection. Make-up can be worn 24 hours after injection to help cover up any bruises.
While initial effects of the injection are visible in as soon as 3-5 days, you should expect your final results to be achieved 2 weeks after injection.
Do not discontinue any medication before consulting your doctor.
