Prep For Your Appointment

Filler:

We’ve all heard the saying, it take work to look this good. Our saying is, it takes prep, and Jen to look that good! Make sure to follow the pointers below before getting a filler treatment. By following the instructions below you can reduce bruising and swelling in the injection sites. 

Before your appointment:

+ Avoid blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve for 1 week prior. If you are taking one of these over-the-counter medications, always consult with your physician in advance of stopping the medication.

+ Avoid supplements including St. Johns Wort, ginko biloba, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E for 1 week prior to the treatment. • Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, or any "Anti-Aging" products for 3 days prior

+ Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or hair removal cream on the area to be treated for 3 days prior. • If possible, please remove all makeup prior to your appointment.

+ Do not drink alcoholic beverages for 24-48 hours prior to treatment.

+ If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption of cold sores. Please let us know if you are prone to cold sores.
