1. Adjust Your Medication Schedule: To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid blood thinners and supplements for 5 to 7 days prior to your appointment. These can include aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E. However, please do not make any alterations to your medication schedule without consulting your primary care provider.
2. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Don’t drink alcohol or caffeine for 24-48 hours before your visit, as these beverages can dilate your blood vessels and increase swelling and bruising risks.
3. Discontinue Harsh Skincare Treatments: For 48 hours prior to your session, avoid using harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or glycolic acid. You should also postpone any cosmetic treatments, such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or waxing.
4. Arrive Makeup-Free: On the day of your treatment, gently wash your face and arrive at your session free of cosmetics, makeup, lotion, creams, or sunscreen. This allows your injector to work with a clean, sterile surface when administering your filler.
5. Time Your Treatment Strategically: Schedule dermal filler sessions in downtown NYC at least several weeks before major events or special occasions. This ensures that all initial swelling and bruising have fully resolved and that your final result has settled. Additionally, Dr. Rabach recommends that you avoid dental procedures or immunizations for 30 days before and after dermal fillers.
