Do not take any blood-thinning medications or herbal supplements starting 1 week before your appointment, as these may interfere with blood clotting. Example medications include but are not limited to aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, St. John’s Wort, ginkgo, vitamin E, and fish oil.
If you develop a cold, cough, chest congestion, nasal stuffiness, or any other symptoms of infection within 1 week prior to your appointment, you must notify RMA staff immediately.
Avoid dental procedures (including cleanings) for 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after your treatment.

After Your Treatment Visit

What To Expect

Each injectable procedure is different and customized to the individual patient. Therefore, the extent of swelling, bruising, and tenderness that occur after treatment will vary by patient.

For Neurotoxin:

Bruising may occur at the injection sites and is usually minimal. Any associated swelling resolves within hours after treatment. Neurotoxin treatment starts to take effect within 2 to 3 days after the procedure

For Fillers:

There may be swelling or bruising at the injection sites or in the treated areas that is most often mild. Certain areas of the face such as the lips or the lower eyelid region may experience more extensive swelling. The results of filler injection is typically observed immediately or after most of the immediate swelling has subsided. It is not uncommon for slight asymmetries to be observed initially after an injectable procedure that typically resolve by two weeks out when the treatment is in maximal effect. If there is dark discoloration change in the treated area associated with new, significant pain, please call the office of Rejuvenation Medical Aesthetics immediately.

It is important to allow the injectable treatment to take effect the entire two weeks after the procedure before considering possible need for additional treatment. Please call the office with any questions or concerns related to any injectable treatment, especially if there is any concern for an allergic reaction or more than expected bruising, swelling, or pain.

Cool Compresses

What To Expect

Neurotoxin:

You may apply ice as needed for any bruising or swelling that occurs at the injection sites.

Fillers:

Apply cool compresses (ice packs or frozen bags of vegetables) to the treated areas frequently while awake for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment. This measure will help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort.

Wound Care

You may resume showering and your skincare regimen the same day following treatment. Avoid applying makeup or heavy lotions to the injection sites for the first 24 hours following treatment. Avoid massaging the treated areas for 48 hours following neurotoxin injection and for 1 week following filler injection.

Medications

pain medication per the label instructions

For pain: You may take over-the-counter Tylenol for mild pain. Please take the pain medication per the label instructions. Please avoid blood thinning medications such as NSAIDs for the first 48 hours after treatment to minimize bruising. If your pain is not well-controlled with over-the-counter pain medication or you develop worsening focal pain and swelling in the treated areas, please call Rejuvenation Medical Aesthetics right away. If you have a history of cold sores, you may be prescribed an anti-viral medication to take for prophylaxis. Please take this medication as prescribed starting the day before treatment and resume the same day following treatment.

Self Care

Avoid any type of facial, microdermabrasion, or massage for 2 weeks following treatment.
