Injections PDF Print E-mail

Before injections:

  • To reduce bruising and swelling stop taking Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as herbal supplements associated with increased bleeding (Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin E, Garlic supplements). It's best not to use these medications and supplements for two weeks before injections.
  • If you ever had cold sores around your mouth you need to take antiviral medication (Acyclovir) a day before, a day of, and a day after the procedure.


After injections for 24 hrs:

  • Avoid strenuous activities, such as aerobics and jogging as well as cleaning the house.
  • Sleep with your head raised higher than your chest.
  • Avoid activities that require you to be in the face down position (e.g. massage, cleaning the house).
  • Do not use ice at home-you can overdo it. We usually use ice for few minutes right after injections in the office.
  • Bruising and swelling can last up to a week or longer, it will go away completely.
  • Please follow up after your procedure to ensure best results.
