Before your lip filler appointment, the first thing that should be completed is the consultation appointment at Rejuva Medical Spa. This is to ensure you review everything, go over the results you are looking for, as well as what we recommend to be best suited for your facial features, how long the appointment will take on average, how long the results should last for you, and when you should reschedule for a lip filler maintenance appointment. Once all has been completed and determined, you can begin to prepare for your lip injections appointment. Many look for how to reduce the amount of swelling they may see at the injection site, the recommendations we often provide to prepare before your appointment for lip fillers: - 1 Week Prior to Lip Injection Appointment Avoid taking any blood thinner medication which includes Aleve, Ibuprofen, and/or aspirin. Avoid taking supplements, including Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Primrose Oil, and Vitamin E. - 2 Days Before Lip Injection Appointment Avoid using any topical treatments like Anti-Aging creams, and Glycolic Acid. Avoid using hair removal creams, bleaching near the area, tweezing, or waxing on or near the treated area. We highly suggest taking arnica two days before your lip injection appointment, even though it is not required, it will help to reduce any bruising that may occur after your appointment. - 24 Before Lip Injection Appointment Do not smoke or drink any alcoholic beverages a minimum of 24 hours prior to your lip injection appointment.
