Pre-Treatment Instructions

BOTOX® and FILLERS (JUVEDERM, RESTYLANE)

• 1 week prior to treatment avoid blood thinners including aspirin, high dose vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and high dose fish oils. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
  
• If you are prone to cold sores, notify Dr. Pickens. There is medication she can prescribe to minimize or avoid outbreaks.
  
• Do not schedule activities involving excessive sun exposure or physical exertion for the hours following your treatment.
  
• If receiving fillers it is best to apply ice immediately afterwards intermittently for the next few hours.
