Avoid aspirin (any product containing acetylsalicylis acid) vitamin E, St John’s Wort and other dietary supplements including : ginkgo, evening primrose oil, garlic, feverfew and ginsend for 2 weeks.
Avoid ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and alcohol for 2 days.
if possible, come to your appointment with a cleanly washed face without make-up.
During TREATMENT
Less is more and a “full filler” look doesn’t look inviting or natural.
Dr. Nano will be precise with injections to give you the optimal and most natural looking result possible, using the right amount of product. I can always add more in 2-4 weeks if you feel or desire a plumper look.
Icing during procedure is not preferred, while the filler is working with the skin.
After Treatment
Skin redness and swelling in the treatment area is common. This should resolve within a few days. If it persists longer than 3 days, please contact your physician.
Do not massage the treated areas.
Avoid applying heat to the treated area until any swelling or bruising have resolved. Routine washing and showering is fine.
Avoid activities that cause facial flushing on the day of treatment including: consuming alcohol, exercising and tanning.
Gently apply a cool compress or wrapped ice pack to the treated areas for 15 minutes every few hours as needed to reduce discomfort, swelling, or bruising up to a few days after the treatement. If bruising occurs, it typically resolves within 7-10 business days.
After treatment, oral and/or tropical Arnica montana may help reduce bruising and swelling.
If 2-4 weeks after treatment you feel that you require a touch-up, please contact your physician.
