Before, during and after your SkinVive™ appointment at Wise Aesthetics.

Before your treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners

Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) for 5-7 days before treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.

Limit Alcohol

Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to reduce swelling and bruising.

Avoid Certain Treatments

Consultation

Your provider will assess your skin and discuss your goals to determine the best treatment plan.

Preparation

After your treatment

Avoid Touching the Area

Apply Cold Compresses

Use a cold compress for 10-15 minutes at a time if you experience mild swelling or discomfort.
