Tox
Pre-Treatment Instructions
Plan one week with no major events in case you bruise.
Taking blood thinners such as Aspirin, Aleve, Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen, Vitamin A or E, Fish Oil or drinking alcoholic beverages increases the risk of bruising. Stopping these a few days before your appointment will decrease the risk. Always consult your physician before stopping any prescribed medication.
Arnica Montana tablets or cream can minimize bruising, you can start on one of these three days prior to your appointment if you want to, and continue for a few days after if you do bruise. These can be found in most pharmacies or health food stores.
Whenever possible come to your appointment with a clean, makeup free face.
If you are sick or have an active infection, we will be unable to inject you, please call to reschedule your appointment, 303-261-8070.

No bending, lifting, or laying down for four hours after injections. Stay in an upright position.
