MEDICATION PRECAUTIONS
 |
If you want
to be pro-active to decrease bruising during
injection treatments such as Restylane,
Botox and Mesotherapy; the following prescriptions
and non-prescription medications may be
discontinued for at least two weeks prior
to having any injection procedure to ensure
that your platelets have time to recover.
These specific preparations have been found
to affect your blood by decreasing the
amount of time it takes for coagulation
and decreasing the amount of red blood
cell production which can lead to increased
bruising. If you are taking any antiarthritics
or anticoagulants for control of a medical
disorder, you will need to consult your
treating physician for recommendations
as to the alternatives. If you must take
these medications, appropriate determinations
as to whether they may be a detriment during
the procedure may be discussed. |
