To ensure a safe procedure and optimal results from lip filler application, please observe the following guidelines:
Prior to Your Appointment:
* Medications and Supplements: Discontinue blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and prescription anticoagulants at least one week before your appointment. *Crucially, always consult your prescribing doctor before stopping any prescribed medication.*
* Natural Blood Thinners: Avoid consuming green tea, garlic supplements, fish oil, Vitamin E, ginseng, and other herbal remedies known for their blood-thinning effects for at least one week prior.
* Alcohol: Refrain from alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours before the procedure.
* *Rationale:* These substances can inhibit blood clotting, thereby increasing the risk of bleeding and bruising at the injection sites.
Skin Conditions:
* Active Cold Sores: Lip filler treatment is contraindicated if you have an active cold sore (Herpes Labialis) or any other active skin infection in the treatment area.
* Recurrent Cold Sores: If you have a history of frequent cold sore outbreaks, it is strongly recommended to begin a prophylactic antiviral medication 2-3 days before your scheduled appointment. This proactive measure helps prevent a recurrence triggered by the procedure.
