Preparing for your appointment

•Eat high protein meals prior to your appointment.
•Try to avoid alcohol, fish oils, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin or other over the counter blood thinners for 7 days prior to your appointment. If you are on blood thinners for medical reasons, please let us know ahead of time.
•To help minimize bruising as well as speed up healing, we recommend Arnica Montana (available at LaVida, if needed). Place 3 or 4 pellets under your tongue, 3 times a day, the day before your appointment and the morning of your appointment.

POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
•Expect swelling and tenderness for 48 to 72 hours. Possible bruising may last about 7 days. You may apply ice packs to treated areas for the first 24 hours to minimize swelling.
•Ibuprofen may be taken to ease swelling and tenderness.
•Normal activities may be resumed immediately following treatment.
•Makeup may be applied a few hours after treatment.
•Avoid sun exposure until swelling has resolved.
•Massage treated areas 5 times a day for 5 minutes for 5 days to distribute solution and help prevent nodule formation – unless instructed not to. This may be uncomfortable for the first couple of days, but is still necessary. The easiest time to massage is when the face is moistened with cleanser or moisturizer.
•Schedule your next appointment in 4 to 6 weeks to determine if additional treatments are needed. Most patients require a minimum of two treatments.
•Results may begin to appear 4 – 6 weeks after treatment and will gradually improve for up to 12 months. Results last up to 2 years after initial treatment.
Possible Side Effect
The delayed appearance of tiny nodules under the skin, which can appear 6 to 12 months after treatment. They are palpable, but not visible and development can be minimized by following the post treatment massage instructions.
Please report any concerns following your treatment.
