Pre-Treatment Do’s & Don’ts

✅ Do:

Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment.
Eat a light meal or snack before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded.
You can have a facial up to one week before your Jeuveau appointment to prep and hydrate your skin.

Alcohol—it can increase the risk of bruising.
Aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications (unless directed by your doctor) to minimize bruising risk.
Vitamin E, fish oil, and herbal supplements like ginkgo, ginseng, or garlic, which can also thin the blood.

🚫 Avoid for 1 Week Before:

Facial treatments like microneedling, peels, or laser treatments.
Tanning or excessive sun exposure—your skin should not be irritated or sunburned at the time of your appointment.

Wear comfortable clothing and be ready to relax.
Let your provider know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any upcoming events that may affect your timing.
Be ready to share your aesthetic goals—we’ll tailor your treatment to achieve the best results.
