Pre & Post Care Tips
Pre-Care For Neuromodulators
• Do NOT consume alcoholic or caffeinated beverages at least 24- 48 hours prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising)

• Avoid anti-inflammatory/ blood-thinning medications, if possible for a period of 2 weeks before treatment.
• AVOID Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin A & E, GInkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/ Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Garlic, Flax Oil, Motrin, Advil, Naproxen/ Aleve, and other NSAIDS have a blood-thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after your treatment (Tylenol is ok)

Post-Care For Dermal Fillers
Congratulations Boutique BABE on your new dermal filler procedure! Here are some simple instructions to take home post filler injection:
• Do NOT touch, rub or manipulate the area of injection
• DO check for blood refill to the area of injection as shown by your injector for 24-48 hrs
• DO drink lots of water! (Dermal fillers thrive off of hydration, the more you stay hydrated the better your healing results will be!)
• Do NOT apply makeup until 24hrs post-injection
• Do NOT expose injected area to extreme heat or cold (i.e. sunbathing or tanning bed, hot wax, or hot tubs/ saunas)
• Do NOT schedule permanent makeup services or dental procedures within 2 weeks of receiving your dermal filler treatment
• Refrain from strenuous exercise 24 hours post-treatment (i.e. running, working out, swimming, biking, etc.)
• Refrain from taking ibuprofen (Advil), Aspirin, Motrin, Aleve, Fish Oil, or Vitamin E for 24- 48 hrs post-treatment (Tylenol is OK)
• Refrain from taking herbal supplements such as St. John’s Wart, Ginkgo Biloba, Primrose Oil, Garlic, and Ginseng for 24- 48 hrs post-treatment
• Apply ice if needed to the area to reduce swelling
• ONLY use a BRAND NEW lip balm on newly injected lips (to decrease the risk of injection)
• Avoid waxing, bleaching, or tweezing the area after your injection treatment
• Bruising and swelling are common after injection and will subside in 3-5 days (pineapple & arnica is great for bruising!)
• Continue to take any medications after your procedure as instructed to do so by our medical director (i.e. cold sore meds)
• DO NOT book travel within 2 weeks of your injection treatment
• You can return to your normal daily activities right after your procedure
• LUMPS OR BUMPS can be felt with filler injections, this will wear off over time and CAN be corrected with your injector (for small lumps or bumps immediately post-injection these can be massaged out with clean hands only)
• Continue to use appropriate SPF sunscreen as recommended by your injector
• Book your follow-up appointment with our clinic for any top-ups and questions you might have
Dermal Fillers are metabolized in the body at different rates for every patient and results are seen immediately after the procedure. Typically, you will need retreatment of the area in 6-12 months (this is a PREVENTATIVE estimate). If you have any concerns about your procedure or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate your needs and answer any questions you may have
