Prior to your mesotherapy appointment with Vamped Cosmetics, please ensure you are not taking any blood thinners such as Advil and Aspirin at least 24 hours before and after treatment. If you are on a prescribed blood thinner, please consult your doctor prior to the appointment about whether it is safe to stop your medication. Alcohol, Omega 3’s and some other multivitamins may cause blood thinning as well and it is recommended to stop taking them 2-3 days before treatment. If you are prone to bruising and swelling, Arnica is a natural anti-inflammatory supplement, which can be purchased at the time of your appointment. 

After the treatment, it is also recommended not to touch or wash your face or hair for 2 hours. Makeup and skincare applications should be avoided until scabbing subsides. If the skin is dry, an unscented moisturizer may be applied. Unscented gentle cleansers may be used after the 2-hour post-procedure period. It is also recommended to change your pillowcase the night of the treatment before going to bed to reduce the risk of infection. Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours to reduce the amount of potential bruising and swelling. Taking Arnica and icing the treated area will also reduce these side effects. It is best to avoid taking a hot shower 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the intensity of inflammation which may cause prolonged irritation. It is recommended to refrain from facials, hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms for one week to avoid potential infection and prolonged redness. Sleeping on your face is also not advised, as it causes further irritation of the skin. For additional questions and/or concerns please contact Vamped Cosmetics.
