Pre-treatment
Before being treated with Restylane® and Perlane® you should take a few precautions. Prior to treatment, avoid using aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's wort, or high doses of vitamin E supplements. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, discuss this with your healthcare professional, who may prescribe a medication to minimize recurrence.
Post-treatment
Cold compresses (a cloth dipped in cold water, wrung out, and applied to the injected area) may be used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling.
Avoid touching the treated area during the six hours following treatment, so you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. After that, the area can be gently washed with soap and water.
Until any redness or swelling goes away, avoid exposure of the treated area to intense heat (sun lamp or sunbathing).
If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence. Speak to your healthcare professional about medications that may minimize an outbreak.
Avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's wort, and high doses of vitamin E supplements for one week after treatment. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
Please be sure to consult your healthcare professional about recommendations for a follow-up appointment.
