BEFORE CARE

TOX
Lip Filler
Dermal Filler
Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF)
Sculptra

Timing Your Treatment:
For optimal results, plan your Liquid Lipo treatment a few weeks ahead of any major event. This allows time for any potential bruising or swelling to subside.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
Avoid Retin-A and vitamin A creams for a few days before and after treatment. Also, give your skin a break from harsh scrubs and bleaching creams.
Shave the treatment area the day before your appointment to create a smooth canvas.
Avoid blood-thinning substances (aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil) for at least a week before and a few days after treatment.
No alcohol for a week prior, as it can increase bruising risk.

Special Considerations:
Let us know if you have any rashes, cold sores, or blemishes in the treatment area so we can reschedule if needed.

Extra Tips:
For extra precaution, take Arnica tablets starting a week before your injections to help minimize bruising and swelling.

Preparation for the Day of Your Appointment:
Skip lotions, perfumes, and makeup on the treatment areas beforehand for a clean, ready-to-go surface.
Have a good meal before your session to prevent feeling lightheaded during the treatment.

Liquid Lipo

Timing Your Treatment:
To ensure your skin is in the best condition for the treatment, avoid using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, retinols, or antibiotics for about 1-2 weeks before your appointment.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
If you've had Accutane in the last 6-8 months, have an aspirin allergy, or a history of light sensitivity, we may need to wait on scheduling the peel.
If you have any open wounds or active infections, it’s important to postpone the peel until they heal.
Please let us know about any skin conditions like psoriasis or dermatitis so we can adjust your treatment accordingly.

Special Considerations:
If you’ve had skin cancer, ensure you’ve been cancer-free for at least 3 years or get clearance from your doctor before moving forward.
If you are pregnant, plan to wax, or receive another peel within the next week, it’s best to wait.

Preparation for the Day of Your Appointment:
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face for a smooth, seamless treatment process.

Chemical Peels

Timing Your Treatment:
If you’ve taken Accutane or isotretinoin, please wait at least six months before scheduling your Diamond Glow treatment to ensure your skin’s barrier has fully recovered.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
About three days before your appointment, stop using products containing AHAs, retinols, or vitamin A to maintain your skin's natural balance.

Special Considerations:
If you’re prone to cold sores, talk to your provider before treatment to manage and prevent any outbreaks.
If your skin feels sensitive or irritated the day before your appointment due to sun exposure or a scrape, let us know so we can adjust your treatment plan.
For open wounds or compromised skin in the treatment area, we’ll need to postpone your session until your skin has healed.

Preparation for the Day of Your Appointment:
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face for a smooth, seamless treatment process.

Diamond Glow

Timing Your Treatment:
For the best results, avoid retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, retinols, and antibiotics for about 1-2 weeks before your appointment to ensure your skin is in top condition.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
If you have any open wounds or infections, it’s important to postpone your session until your skin has healed.
Let us know about any skin conditions like psoriasis or dermatitis to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you.

Special Considerations:
If you’ve taken Accutane in the last 6-8 months, have an aspirin allergy, or use medications that increase light sensitivity, we may need to delay your microneedling treatment.
If you’ve had skin cancer, make sure you’ve been cancer-free for at least 3 years or obtain your doctor’s approval before proceeding.
If you’re pregnant, or planning to wax or receive another peel within a week, it’s best to wait on microneedling.

Skinpen Microneedling

Timing Your Treatment:
For all treatments (Tox, Lip Filler, Dermal Filler, Sculptra, PRF), it's crucial to plan ahead. Each has its own ideal timeline to achieve the best results:

Tox/Lip Filler: Schedule 4-5 weeks before any major event.
Dermal Filler: Plan for 2-4 weeks before your event.
Sculptra: As this takes up to 12 weeks to show results, schedule well ahead.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines (Applies to All Treatments):
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and ibuprofen three days before your appointment.
Skip supplements like vitamin E, fish oil, and garlic, as they can thin your blood.
If bruising is a concern, consider taking arnica tablets or eating fresh pineapple in the days leading up to your appointment.
Avoid alcohol the day before your appointment to minimize bruising.

Special Considerations:
If you're prone to cold sores, be sure to inform your provider in advance so they can take necessary precautions to avoid any complications during the treatment.

Preparation for the Day of Your Appointment:
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face for a smooth, seamless treatment process.
