• Apply an ice pack or cool gel pack to the treated area, 20 minutes on and off.
• Take Tylenol® if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort.
• Drink plenty of water for 48 hours following treatment.
• For 4 hours following the injection, stay in an upright position – do not rest your head or lie down.
• Avoid sleeping on your face. Instead, sleep on your back with your head elevated at a minimum 30 degree angle for 3–5 days after treatment.
• For 24 hours after treatment, wait to apply makeup until any pinpoint bleeding has stopped.
• Avoid hot environments like extended UV exposure and saunas until any redness or swelling has passed for 2 weeks after treatment.
• Avoid facials, laser treatments, resurfacing treatment, or chemical peels for a minimum 2 weeks after treatment.
• Avoid heavy pressure on treated areas for the first few days – be very gentle when cleansing your face or applying makeup.
• Avoid Aspirin®/ASA, Motrin®, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic, flax oil, cod liver oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week after treatment as they may increase bleeding or bruising.
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplements, high-sodium food, high-sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods, and cigarettes for 24–48 hours as they can contribute to swelling or irritation.

It’s important to follow up with your injector one month after your treatment.
