Enhance Safely, Recover Gracefully: Your Guide to Cosmetic Care
GENERAL PRE-TREATMENT GUIDELINES
Avoid Certain Medications and Supplements: Avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen) and supplements (like vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo biloba) for a week before the treatment, as they can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
No Alcohol: for at least 24 hours before the procedure to minimize bruising and swelling.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to support healing and achieve the best results.
Skincare Products: Avoid irritating products (like retinoids, harsh exfoliants, or acids) for a few days before the treatment.
Makeup: It is recommended to arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup.
Report Health Changes: Inform us of any new medications, recent treatments, or changes in your health before your procedure.
Consultation and Questions: We encourage you to ask any questions and discuss your concerns beforehand so you feel fully informed and comfortable with your treatment.

We recommend that you do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours after your appointment to allow the injection site to heal.
-
Although consuming a small amount of alcohol might not lead to severe complications, it is generally advised to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after your cosmetic injection treatment. This precaution is due to alcohol's properties as a blood thinner, which can increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling at the injection site.
Furthermore, alcohol can dehydrate your skin, potentially impacting the healing process and the overall effectiveness of the treatment. For optimal results and to ensure your safety, it's best to refrain from alcohol consumption around the time of your procedure.
