To help ensure the best results and minimize risks, please follow these general guidelines:

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo, etc.) for 5–7 days prior, unless prescribed by your physician.

If you are prone to cold sores, let us know in advance—an antiviral may be prescribed before laser or resurfacing treatments.

Arrive with a clean face or body depending on treatment (no makeup, lotions, or sunscreen). Stay well-hydrated and get good rest the night before.

Bruising is always a possibility with aesthetic procedures, especially injections. Most bruises are minor and fade within a few days. You can minimize risk by:

Following the preparation instructions above.

Applying Arnica montana (oral or topical) starting 1–2 days before and after your appointment.

Using a cold compress gently after treatment.

If you develop a deep bruise, stem cell and laser treatments are available.

Aftercare varies by treatment, but here are some universal guidelines:

Avoid strenuous exercise, hot yoga, saunas, and hot tubs for at least 24 hours. For laser or resurfacing treatments, avoid these for up to 5–7 days, or until your provider clears you.

Use gentle skincare and avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or acids until advised.

Stay out of direct sun and wear daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+.

Continue taking Arnica or Bromelain to reduce bruising/swelling if recommended.

Follow all personalized instructions given to you by your provider at checkout.
