We typically recommend a series of three treatments spaced one month apart, but most people notice results after one treatment. We will customize the number of treatments to you!

• 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.

• 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 exercise or lift heavy objects for 4 hours after treatment.
• It is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks before having any other treatments (i.e. massages, lasers, ultrasounds, etc).
• It can take approximately 1 week for results to be seen and will enhance over time.
