Aftercare Instructions

Aftercare is half the result. These guides walk you through every treatment we offer — day-by-day timelines, the do/don't lists, and when to pick up the phone.

The treatment is half the work. How you recover — the first 24 hours, the first week, what you avoid, what you watch for — decides whether you get the full result your provider designed for. These guides are written and reviewed by our medical director so you have the real instructions, not the generic ones.

Why we publish these

Recovery instructions are too often left as a verbal handoff at the end of a session — easy to forget, easy to misremember. We publish ours so you can review them before, during, and after your treatment. They're written by our medical director, reviewed against FDA labeling and manufacturer guidance, and updated whenever clinical practice evolves.

If something on these pages contradicts what your provider told you in person, follow your provider's specific instructions — they know your case. These guides cover the general protocol that applies to most patients.

Aftercare is half the picture — our pre-treatment preparation guide covers what to do before you arrive.

Experiencing something unusual?

Reach out anytime

If your recovery looks different than what these guides describe — pain that increases instead of decreases, asymmetry, unusual swelling, signs of infection — call us. We'd rather you check in early than wait.
