Here’s our plan
- Schedule your appointment at least two weeks before a special event. Redness, swelling and bruising may be apparent in that time period.
- Avoid any dental cleanings two weeks before and any dental procedures four weeks before filler treatment.
- To minimize bruising or bleeding, we recommend discontinuing the use of aspirin, NSAIDS, gingko biloba, garlic, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamin A, vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least three days to one week before and after treatment. Talk to your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, niacin supplements and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. These may increase your risk of bruising and swelling.
