Pre Care Instructions

For the best possible results, please follow these guidelines before your treatment:

• 5 days prior to treatment, avoid blood thinners like Advil, aspirin, Aleve, and fish oils. Any blood thinning medication can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. If you need to take an over-the-counter pain reliever, Tylenol is okay.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) treatment to avoid extra bruising.
• Do not use Botox/Dysport/Daxxify if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders.

• Attire –wear a shirt that can roll-up above your elbow to allow access to your arm.
• Hydrate before every IV – the more hydrated you are, the more easily accessible your veins are, making for a more comfortable treatment.
• Have something to eat – some of the vitamins and minerals can have a temporary blood sugar and blood pressure lowering effect, which can make you feel lightheaded during or after your IV if you haven’t eaten.
• Get moving – if we are sedentary right before an IV, our vessels may be more difficult to access.
• If you become pregnant or start breastfeeding, please give us a call.
