Before Treatment

•  No anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx,
    etc.), aspirin, high doses of Vitamin E, or Ginko Biloba one week
    prior to treatment. This will reduce the possible side effects of
    bruising and/or swelling in the treated area(s).

•  Consumption of alcoholic beverages prior to treatment can
    increase the chances of bruising and/or swelling.

•  You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding to receive treatment.

•  If you have a history of oral herpes, you must pre-treat with
    an anti-viral three days before your scheduled visit.

After Treatment

•  Swelling, redness, and tenderness will occur after your
    treatment and usually resolves within 72 hours.

•  Cold compresses (a cloth dipped in cold water, wrung out, and
    applied to the injected area) may be used immediately after
    treatment to reduce swelling.

•  Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours of treatment so
    you do not accidentally injure your skin. After that, the area
    can be gently washed with soap and water.

•  Until there is no redness or swelling, avoid exposure of the
    treated area to intense heat (sun lamp or sun bathing) or
    extreme cold weather.

•  If you have suffered previously from facial cold sores, there
    is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another
    occurrence. Ask your treatment provider about medications
    that may minimize a recurrence.

•  Avoid taking aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
    medications, St. John's wort, and high doses of Vitamin E
    supplements for one week after treatment. These agents may
    increase the risk of bruising and bleeding at the injection site.

•  Avoid aesthetic lasers, microdermabrasion, or IPL over areas
    with Restylane for a minimum of one week after treatment.
