Things To Do
Pre-treatment Care Checklist
At TBT Clinic in Kitchener Waterloo, we provide online patient forms for your convenience. You can download the required form(s), fill in the necessary information, and then fax, email, or bring them with you to your appointment.
- Cease Smoking: Smoking diminishes skin circulation and hinders healing.
- Begin Multivitamins: Initiate twice-daily intake of multivitamins to enhance overall health post-treatment.
- Start Vitamin C: Begin taking 500 mg of Vitamin C twice daily to promote healing.
- Avoid Aspirin or Ibuprofen: Refrain from using medications containing aspirin or ibuprofen 5-7 days before dermal filler injections, Morpheu8 and thread lifts. Carefully review medications to avoid bleeding issues during and after surgery. Consider acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) as an alternative.
- Moderate Vitamin E: Limit daily Vitamin E intake to under 400 mg.
- Decrease or stop taking Omegas 5-7 days prior to dermal filler injections, Morpheus8 and thread lifts to minimize bruising
Things To DO
POST-treatment Care Checklist
At TBT Clinic in Kitchener Waterloo, we provide online patient forms for your convenience. You can download the required form(s), fill in the necessary information, and then fax, email, or bring them with you to your appointment.
- Each procedure at TBT clinic may have unique post-treatment instructions. However to help you prepare best for any procedure, the following list offers general advice for swift and uneventful healing:
- Activity: Take it easy and focus on self-care. Most activities of daily living can be resumed but refrain from strenuous activities that could lead to bleeding, swelling, or bruising.
- Ice Packs: Use cold packs or ice to reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Frozen peas or crushed ice in a zip-lock bag work well. If ice feels too intense, reduce its use accordingly.
- Smoking: Avoid smoking entirely during the first 7-10 days after non-surgical facelifts as it restricts blood flow to the skin.
- Alcohol: Refrain from alcohol consumption until bruising has subsided. The alcohol will thin your blood so any existing bruising will worsen.
- Driving: Do not drive for at least 4 hours after any narcotic analgesia used before your non-surgical facelift or Morpheus8 procedures.
- Post-treatment appointments: Follow the schedule of recommended follow-up appointments we set up to ensure your recovery progresses smoothly and best results are achieved.
