Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event. Redness, swelling and bruising may be apparent in that time period.
It is recommended to discontinue the use of Aspirin, NSAIDS, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. Please consult with your primary physician 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. All of these factors may increase risk of bruising and swelling.
Starting Arnica supplements at least 2 days prior to injections may help with bruising.
Let the provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.
You may not have an active rash in the area being treated.
You may not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
Redness or sensitivity might be present (most commonly lasts up to a few hours).
Use Tylenol only as needed for any soreness. Avoid blood thinning agents, as this can cause further bruising.
Do NOT rub or touch the treated area for 4 hours following treatment.
Do NOT wear anything tight around the area for 4 hours following treatment.
Do NOT lay down or sleep for 4 hours after your treatment.
Do NOT exercise or lift heavy objects for 4 hours after treatment.
It is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks before having any other facial treatments (i.e. facials, massages, lasers, ultrasounds, micro-dermabrasion).
It can take approximately 3-5 days for results to be seen. If the desired result is not seen after 2 weeks of your treatment you may need additional injections.

I trust all my skincare needs to Stages! They have totally changed the texture and tone in just 1 treatment! I'm stunned! Morpheus and Lumecca are 10/10

Stages is the best! I had such a pleasant experience. Adrienne did my lips and they look beyond what I expected. She did a great job of explaining the process and what I would be expecting for the after care. Adrienne and Katie helped me find the best products for my skin, and I’m so excited to start using them. Amber, at the front desk, was very kind and professional and helped me make all my appointments. From the moment you walk through the front door to the moment you walk out they make you feel and look amazing.

I went to Stages Skin Studio about 3 weeks ago and loved it! The environment is relaxing and the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Adrienne was so sweet and did a great job on my Botox. I'll be sure to return and have already recommended Stages Skin Studio to friends.

I’m a minimalist when it comes to my skin. Going to an aesthetic practice can be intimidating for girls like me, but you absolutely won’t experience that here. Adrienne and Katie are both so kind, skilled at their crafts, attentive, and eager to help everyone feel their best no matter if you’re a minimalist like me or want to pull out all the stops. They tailor to each individual’s needs. I highly recommend them whether you’re a newbie to taking care of your skin or you’ve been getting all-the-things for years. You won’t regret it!
