To minimize complications and ensure optimal results, here’s what you should avoid immediately before your PDO thread lift:
- Blood-thinning medications and supplements: At least a week before your treatment, stop taking NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen), fish oils, vitamin E, and other supplements that can increase bleeding and bruising. Consult with your physician before stopping any prescribed medications.
- Alcohol and smoking: Avoid alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before your treatment, as it can increase bruising. Smoking constricts blood vessels, affecting healing and results.
- Intense exercise: Avoid strenuous workouts on the day of your treatment. Increased blood flow and heart rate can lead to more bruising.
- Dental work: If possible, schedule major dental procedures either well before or after your PDO thread lift to minimize discomfort or risk of infection in the facial area.
- Facial treatments: Delay facials, waxing, or other treatments that may irritate or inflame the skin until after your thread lift has healed.
Always follow your AIVI Aesthetics provider’s specific pre-procedure instructions for the best outcomes.
