    Before Treatment

    2 WEEKS BEFORE PROCEDURE

    1. Avoid consuming alcohol and/or smoking 2-days before your treatment and 2-days post-treatment.
    2. Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications 10-14 days prior and 3-4 days post-treatment. Medications such as Aspirin and other NSAIDS, Vitamin E, Fish oil, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, and St. John’s Wart should be avoided as they can increase the chance of bruising.
    3. Days leading up to the procedure, be more aware of areas that bother you. This will assist us in marking you.

    5 DAYS BEFORE PROCEDURE (MINIMUM) VERY IMPORTANT

    1. Must start taking the following: Oral Arnica, Bromelain, Vitamin K

    (These can be purchase at any store, or purchased through our office)

    1. Purchase Spanx or some type of compression pants.  You MUST bring these with you to ALL appointments.  We will not do treatment on you if you do not have with you.

    DAY OF YOUR PROCEDURE:

    1. Avoid shaving, laser hair removal, electrolysis, waxing threading, and use of depilatory creams the day of your procedure
    2. Do not apply creams or lotions to the area being treated.
    3. Wear loose-fitting clothing. Thong underwear is preferred if treating the buttocks.

    PROCEDURE:

    1. Your procedure will last approximately 30 minutes depending on the areas treated.
    2. You are welcome to bring entertainment: phone, music player, tablet, and/or earphones to listen to during the procedure.
    3. You may drive to and from our center.

    WHAT TO EXPECT:
