FAT DISSOLVING Pre and Aftercare

Pre-Care Instructions

To prepare your body and skin for optimal results and a safe treatment experience, please follow these steps before your fat dissolving appointment:

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment to minimize bruising and swelling.
• Stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or Ginkgo Biloba) for 3–5 days, unless prescribed by your doctor.
• Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen or naproxen) for 24 hours prior, as they can interfere with your body’s inflammatory healing process.
• Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to support your lymphatic system.
• Avoid caffeine on the day of treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
• Do not schedule dental or aesthetic treatments within 2 weeks of your fat dissolving session.
• Arrive with clean skin, free from creams, oils, or makeup on the treatment area.
• If you have any infections, active skin conditions, or are feeling unwell, please reschedule your appointment.

After-Care Instructions

Fat dissolving treatments work gradually, breaking down fat cells that are naturally eliminated by your body. Following your after-care instructions will help maximize results and minimize discomfort:

• Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are normal and can last a few days to a week.
• Do not apply makeup, skincare, or creams to the treated area for 24 hours.
• Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the area for at least 48 hours, unless advised by your practitioner.
• Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment to reduce swelling.
• Do not use saunas, hot tubs, or expose the area to heat for 48 hours.
• Keep the area clean and avoid tight clothing that could irritate or compress the treated area.
• Stay hydrated — drinking water supports your lymphatic system in flushing out the broken-down fat cells.
• You may apply a cool compress to ease discomfort or swelling (avoid applying ice directly to the skin).
• Avoid other aesthetic treatments (laser, radiofrequency, microneedling, etc.) on the same area for at least 2 weeks.
• Results develop gradually over 3–6 weeks, as your body naturally eliminates fat.
• A course of treatments (usually 2–4 sessions) may be recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
