BEFORE TREATMENT
To ensure the best results and minimize potential side effects, please follow these guidelines:
✔ Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before treatment, as they may increase bruising and swelling.
✔ Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, NSAIDs, omega-3, vitamin E, garlic, and ginseng for at least 48 hours before treatment (consult your doctor if necessary).
✔ Do not undergo treatments on irritated or infected skin (e.g., active acne, cold sores, or skin infections).
If you are prone to cold sores, consider taking preventive antiviral medication before lip treatments.
✔ Avoid sun exposure and aggressive skincare (such as retinol, acids, and peels) for at least 5 days before treatment.
✔ Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water before your appointment for optimal skin condition.
✔ Avoid strenuous exercise on the day of treatment, as it may increase the risk of bruising and swelling.
✔ Arrive with clean skin – avoid makeup, lotions, or any skincare products on the treatment area.
