Pre-Procedure
- DO NOT WEAR MAKE-UP ON THE DAY OF THE INJECTIONS. On the day of the injections, clean your face with a mild cleanser.
- Juvederm / Voluma / Volbella / Vollure appointments: Arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment so that topical numbing cream can be applied.
- Kybella appointments: Arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment so that ice can be applied prior to treatment.
- Eat a high protein meal prior to injections.
- No ALCOHOL, ASPIRIN, IBUPROFEN, OR FISH OIL for 3-4 days prior to injections.
- To help minimize BRUISING as well as speed up healing, we recommend Arnica Montana (sold at Sprouts). Place 3 or 4 pellets under your tongue the night before injections. Continue taking the pellets 4 times daily for 5 days if extensive bruising occurs.
- May also consider eating fresh pineapple the night before and morning of scheduled injection to help minimize bruising.
