What should I avoid immediately after EZ Gel PRF/PRP treatment?

For the first 24 hours, apply ice in 10-minute intervals as needed to minimize swelling and discomfort. Always use a barrier—do not apply ice directly to the skin. Sleep on your back with your head elevated to help reduce swelling and pressure on the treated area(s). Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours; the only exception is Oxygenetix, which is specifically formulated for post-procedure use and is available in our office.

When can I resume facial treatments or use exfoliating products?

Avoid facials, facial massage, exfoliating treatments, and the use of Clarisonic or other cleansing devices for two weeks post-treatment.

What should I do if I experience unusual symptoms after treatment?

Post Care

Kybella

Moderate swelling is normal and may last up to 3 weeks following treatment. Final results typically become visible around 12 weeks post-procedure, and multiple sessions are usually needed to achieve optimal outcomes.

Please contact our office immediately at (610) 393-1253 if you experience any of the following:

Facial muscle weakness or an uneven smile (in clinical trials, this resolved after an average of 6 weeks, but should be evaluated promptly)
Difficulty swallowing, or worsening of any pre-existing swallowing concern
Open sores or drainage from the treatment area
Recurring blisters or skin sores, which may indicate a herpes infection requiring treatment
Signs of infection, including spreading redness, fever, drainage, or increasing pain or tenderness

If it is after hours, leave a message and we will follow up within 24 hours. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

GENERAL POST CARE POLICIES

Medications

Avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements, foods, and alcohol until bruising and swelling have fully resolved — unless they are medically necessary. Common items to avoid include Advil, ibuprofen, Motrin, fish oil, garlic, ginger, almonds, and green tea.

Exercise

Refrain from exercise until all visible bruising and swelling have subsided, as increased circulation may prolong healing.

Pain Relief

If you need pain relief, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to use — unless contraindicated based on your medical history or other medications.

Bruising/Swelling

You may take Arnica to help reduce bruising and swelling, unless it is contraindicated (e.g., with high blood pressure or other medical conditions). Always follow the instructions on the label.

POST-CARE POLICIES

For 24 Hours

Apply ice in 10-minute intervals as needed to minimize swelling and discomfort (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off). Always use a clean barrier — do not apply ice directly to the skin.
Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours. The only exception is Oxygenetix, which is specifically formulated for post-procedure use and is available in our office.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid sunlight.
Drink plenty of fluids.
If you need pain relief, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to use, unless contraindicated based on your medical history or other medications.

For 5 Days

Sleep with your head elevated, if tolerated. This helps reduce overnight swelling, especially in the submental area.

For 2 Weeks

Avoid facials, facial massage, exfoliating treatments, and the use of Clarisonic or other cleansing devices.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the area at injection sites.
Avoid other cosmetic treatments to the area.

Until Bruising & Swelling Have Resolved

Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure, as this may lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Avoid exercise until visible bruising has healed, as increased circulation can prolong recovery.

Please review these instructions carefully so nothing is missed. Proper post-care reduces the risk of complications, supports faster healing, and helps you achieve the best possible results from your treatment series.

Your happiness and confidence are our top priorities.

After your treatment has fully settled, please reach out by phone (610-393-1253) or email and let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your results or experience.
