Introduction
Radiesse is a powerful filler that not only restores lost volume but stimulates collagen production, giving you long-lasting rejuvenation. Proper preparation helps reduce bruising, swelling, and ensures a smooth treatment experience.Why Preparation Matters
Many people don’t realize that simple pre-treatment steps can make a big difference in:- Minimizing bruising and swelling
- Supporting faster recovery
- Improving how Radiesse integrates with your skin
2 Weeks Before Treatment
Start prepping early:- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E (only stop prescription meds with your doctor’s approval).
- Postpone any dental work or vaccines for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment to minimize the risk of inflammation.
3–5 Days Before Treatment
As your appointment approaches:- Stop drinking alcohol and limit caffeine.
- Stay hydrated—well-hydrated skin responds better to treatment.
- Stock up on Arnica supplements (if recommended by your injector) to help minimize bruising.
Day of Your Appointment
On the day of your Radiesse filler:- Wash your face thoroughly.
- Skip makeup and skincare products, including moisturizers and SPF.
- Wear comfortable clothing with an open neckline if treating your lower face or jawline.
- Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete any final paperwork.
What to Bring With You
Bring:- A list of any medications or supplements you’re taking
- Photos of your desired results for reference
- A friend or driver if you’d like extra support (especially if you’re prone to anxiety)
