The following pre-care advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment complications, to improve your comfort/healing, and to help achieve the best possible results from treatment.

There are a few things to bare in mind, please see below:

• Do not take corticosteroid medications for 2 to 3 weeks prior to the procedure
• Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, arthritis medication, or steroid medication – check with your G.P before stopping any medication 
• Avoid alcohol consumption 
• If possible, refrain from smoothing as this can impact the healing process 
• It is okay to colour your hair 7 days prior to your appointment 
• Increase your fluid intake the day before on the day of treatment, dehydration could lead to us not being able to draw blood 
• If you’re taking blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, Naproxen or other medication – please let us know asap and check with your G.P before stopping any medication
• Discontinue use of blood thinners such as vitamin E, Ginkgo, Garlic, Flax, cod liver oil, essential fatty acids, multivitamins, and vitamin A 7 days prior to your appointment
