How to Prepare for Your Aesthetic Injection Treatment: A Patient’s Guide by John at Trusted Touch Aesthetics

At Trusted Touch Aesthetics, I strive to provide you with the best possible experience for your aesthetic injection treatments. Proper preparation can help you achieve optimal results and ensure a smooth and comfortable process. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get ready for your treatment.

1. Choose the Right Practitioner

Selecting a qualified and experienced practitioner is crucial for a successful treatment. At Trusted Touch Aesthetics, I am regulated by the CPD, authorized by the FCA, and use FDA-approved treatments. Additionally, I am insured with Insync, ensuring your safety and peace of mind. Review my portfolio of before-and-after photos and check patient testimonials to feel confident in your choice.

2. Schedule a Consultation

Book a consultation with me to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns. This is your opportunity to understand the procedure, potential outcomes, and any risks involved. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

3. Complete Consent and Medical Forms

If you haven’t already completed a consent and medical form, please visit Trusted Touch Aesthetics Consent Form to fill out the necessary documentation before your appointment. This is essential to ensure your safety and the success of your treatment.

4. Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications and Supplements

To minimize bruising and bleeding, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least one week before your treatment. These include:

– Aspirin
– Ibuprofen
– Naproxen
– Vitamin E
– Fish oil
– Ginkgo biloba
– St. John’s Wort

Always consult your healthcare provider before discontinuing any prescribed medication.

5. Limit Alcohol and Caffeine

Alcohol and caffeine can increase the risk of bruising and dehydration. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your treatment and limit caffeine intake on the day of the procedure.

6. Hydrate and Eat Well

Ensure your skin is well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can also support your skin’s health and enhance treatment results.

7. **Prepare Your Skin

Maintain your skin in optimal condition by avoiding new skincare products or treatments that could cause irritation. Stop using retinoids or glycolic acids a few days before your appointment to reduce sensitivity. If you have a history of cold sores, inform me as I may prescribe antiviral medication to prevent an outbreak.

8. Plan Your Schedule

Schedule your appointment at a time when you can rest afterward. Avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and important social events for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment to allow for any potential swelling or bruising to subside.

9. Dress Comfortably

Wear comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment. Opt for something that allows easy access to the treatment area and helps you feel relaxed during the procedure.

10. Communicate with Me

On the day of your treatment, communicate any last-minute concerns or questions you might have. If you’re feeling anxious, let me know so I can provide reassurance and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.

11. Understand Potential Bruising

Be aware that bruising can occur and may last up to two weeks, particularly with treatments around sensitive areas like the eyes, cheeks, and with PDO threads. This is a normal part of the healing process. Plan accordingly and consider your social schedule when booking your appointment.

12. Follow Post-Treatment Instructions

After your treatment, I will provide specific aftercare instructions. Follow these carefully to optimize your results and minimize side effects. Instructions may include avoiding makeup, not touching the treated area, and applying ice to reduce swelling.
