PRE-TREATMENT
-
If possible, do not take aspirin or other blood thinners 5-7 days before the procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. Non-aspirin pain relievers may be taken up to one hour prior to the procedure.
*That being said, Do NOT discontinue any medications that are prescribed by a physician or which are necessary for your health!
-
Just to be on the safe side, if you are pregnant or nursing, we recommend that you wait until after you're done nursing before we do the procedure.
-
Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to the procedure to prevent possible excessive bleeding.
-
If you have a condition that requires you to take antibiotics before a dental visit, you must check with your doctor to determine if antibiotics are needed for permanent cosmetics.
-
Hair removal may be done prior to your procedure (e.g., tweezing, waxing, etc.). Permanent hair removal should not be done five days before or after the procedure.
-
If you're thinking about doing Botox, please either wait 3 weeks after this procedure, or have the Botox done 3 weeks prior.
-
Certain treatments that can thin the skin in the procedure area, like Retin-A, must be discontinued for at least 30 days prior to the procedure. Accutane users must be off Accutane for at least one year. Check with your dermatologist about specific medications.
-
Procedures cannot be performed over fresh sunburns, including those caused by tanning beds. You must wait until the burn heals.
