Bio stimulator pre and post care

Bio-Stimulating Skin Therapy at Dermaluxe
Our bio-stimulating treatments work with your skin’s natural processes to encourage long-term collagen and elastin production. Rather than masking concerns, these treatments activate the skin’s own regenerative abilities to improve texture, firmness, and overall vitality. Over time, you’ll notice stronger, smoother, and more radiant skin — with results that continue to improve naturally after each session.

Medications and Supplements to Avoid:
  • Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, anti-inflammatories, vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, garlic, St. John’s Wort, and similar products) at least 7–14 days before treatment, if approved by your physician, to minimize bruising and bleeding risk.
  • Avoid alcohol and fatty fish for 24–48 hours prior to your appointment, as these can also increase bruising risk.
Medical Considerations:
  • Do not schedule procedures if you have had any illness, infection, dental work, or immunizations within the past 2–4 weeks; these can increase the risk of complications or immune reactions.
  • Notify your provider if you have a history of cold sores; you may need a preventative antiviral medication.
  • Inform your provider of all medical conditions and current medications before your appointment.
Skin and Lifestyle Preparation:
  • Arrive with a clean face and no makeup on the day of your treatment.
  • Avoid laser, IPL, or skin-tightening treatments in the area for at least 2–3 weeks prior.
  • Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment to support skin health and collagen production.
Scheduling and Planning:
  • Schedule your treatment at least 2–4 weeks before any major events to allow time for potential swelling or bruising to resolve.
  • Make sure you do not plan to travel within 48 hours after your treatment, as follow-up care may be needed.
  • Plan to arrive 30 minutes early if topical numbing cream will be applied.
Additional Tips:
  • Consider taking Arnica or bromelain supplements a few days before your appointment to help reduce bruising and swelling, if approved by your provider.
  • Eat a light meal and stay hydrated before your appointment to help prevent lightheadedness
  • Massage treated area(s) at home with the 5 x 5 x 5 rule: 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for five days.
  • Needle entry points, redness, bruising, swelling and asymmetry around injection sites immediately after treatment is normal due to the very nature of the treatment.
  • There may also be some tenderness present as the bruising and inflammation sets in. These symptoms will resolve over the next 2-7 days, depending on your individual response to the treatment.
It may take a full 4 weeks for all swelling to settle; until this time we cannot re-treat.
  • Even if you are happy with your results after your treatment, we highly recommend you attend a review appointment. This way we can assess your results by comparing before and after images, massage the injected area if required and plan for future treatments if required.
  • Please wait up to 4 weeks for any type of facial.

  • Applying makeup
