PRE-TREATMENT advice
- Pregnancy and breast feeding are contra-indications to treatment.
- Alcohol intake should be reduced at least 24 hours before treatment.
- Medication such as aspirin may cause bruising as will high doses of vitamin E.
- Treatment cannot be performed until ceasing Roaccutane medication for 6 months.
- Sun beds, waxing, electrolysis and laser should be avoided at least 48 hours before treatment.
- Pain sensitivity may be heightened at certain times (pre-menstrual or following excessive alcohol intake)
- Bruising may be reduced by taking Arnica tablets two days before treatment.
- Risk of cold sores may be reduced by the use of Zovirax® tablets.
The above are some commonly asked questions before treatment.
My hairdresser (people who always notice!) made me thrilled when she said “What have you done to your makeup. It looks good, you appear refreshed and your jaw line is tighter. A new face cream? Tell me about it”
It wasn’t makeup or creams, but Thermage performed by Dr. Rita Rakus. I’ve trusted her for many years now and I know that if she suggests a new treatment I can rely on her judgment. I’m so pleased that I had Thermage.
