At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we emphasize the importance of preparing for your session during your consultation. Your provider will tell you how to adjust any medications you take according to how they can affect the procedure.
The best candidates for this treatment are nonsmokers. This is because smoking can hurt your final results by causing wrinkling. Smoking also slows down the healing process.
In the days leading up to your treatment, you should also avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements. They can increase bleeding and down the recovery process.
You’ll also want to make sure that you have a ride home after your session. You’ll also need someone to stay and care for you the first night after the procedure.
