Skin Booster
PRE/POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Park providers are excellent injectors and will do everything possible to ensure you achieve your desired results! Here are a few things you can do to improve your results and reduce possible adverse effects.

pre-care

  • Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc), aspirin, or other anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications two days before your treatment. If any of these are prescribed by your doctor, check with them before discontinuing.

  • Avoid exercise or sex six hours before your treatment.  

  • Come without makeup, or plan to remove your makeup when you arrive. If injecting the lower face, beards should be shaven or closely trimmed. 

  • Small dots that look like goosebumps will occur immediately after your treatment and should resolve within 2 days. Consider scheduling your treatment with this in mind. 

  • You’ll be booked for a post-treatment assessment four weeks after the last treatment in your series so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to improve your results. 

Some people are not able to have skin booster injections. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are taking a tetracycline or aminoglycoside antibiotic (such as for acne or rosacea), let us know right away -- we may have to reschedule your treatment or consider an alternative.

POST-care

  • Tiny raised dots that look like goosebumps should resolve 2 days after your treatment.

  • Rarely, people may experience swelling, redness, pain, itching, mild discolouration, and tenderness at your treatment sites. This is normal and should only last a couple hours. If you experience anything else, please email us so we can assess whether we can do anything to help. 

  • Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc), aspirin, or other anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications for 24 hours after your treatment. If any of these are prescribed by your doctor, check with them before discontinuing. 

  • Avoid topical retinol products for 3-4 days after your treatment. 

  • Avoid vitamin E, omega-3, ginseng, garlic, ginkgo, or St. John’s wort supplements for 3-5 days after your treatment. 

  • Avoid exercise, sex, or extreme heat (saunas, sunbathing, hot yoga, etc) for 24 hours after your treatment. 

  • Guard against infection by keeping the skin clean, especially in the first 48h. 

  • For 3 hours: Remain upright and do not rub your treatment areas. Makeup can be gently applied the day after your treatment. 

Skin boosters usually last 4-6 months. We recommend booking your maintenance treatments in advance to ensure you get a time that works for you. You can also pre-purchase your maintenance treatments in a package.
