Pre treatment information

Aesthetic treatments OVER 18’s only ID will be requested prior to treatment

Consultations last around 15-30 minutes where we will discuss everything and carry out a patch test. If you wish to then proceed with the procedure a non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your booking. I can re schedule appointments with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice anything less than this will result in the loss of the booking fee and therefore will need to re book with a booking fee again. Booking fees are deducted off your treatment cost on the day of treatment.

Pre treatment information for Dermal Fillers and Botox

Pre -Treatment Information for Dermal Fillers and Botulinum Toxin

  • Avoid aspirin (e.g., Excedrin), vitamin E, St. John’s wort, and other dietary supplements including ginkgo, evening primrose oil, garlic, feverfew, and ginseng for 2 weeks.

  • Avoid ibuprofen (e.g., Advil, Motrin) and alcohol for 2 days.

  • If possible, come to your appointment with a cleanly washed face.

  • It is recommended to discontinue use of Aspirin, Motrin, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days - 1 week before and after treatment to minimise bruising/bleeding. Consult your GP prior to discontinuing any medications.

  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods, and cigarettes 24-48 hours before and after your treatment. These items may contribute to increased swelling or irritation.

  • If you have a history of cold sores with outbreaks occurring more than 4 times a year, it is recommended that you are pre-treated with medication prior to the injection treatments around or near the oral area. The medication will need to be initiated 3 days prior to your treatment visit. Please consult with your GP in obtaining the medication.

  • If you develop a cold/flu, cold sore, blemish, or rash, etc. in the area to be treated prior to your appointment, we recommend that you please reschedule your appointment until it resolves.

  • It is recommended to discontinue Retin-A 2-3 days before treatment to avoid any increased redness and irritation.

  • It is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks to have dermal filler treatments performed if you have previously had cosmetic treatments with laser, ultrasound, peels, facials, or microdermabrasion.

  • Be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink a minimum for 2 hours before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of light-headedness during your treatment.

  • You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Thank you so much for taking time to read through the above points, I like to be thorough prior to procedure, as I do during and post procedure. PERFECTION is key to me.
