Stem Cell Cosmetic
🌺Before & Aftercare Instructions
Cosmetic Stem Cell treatment uses regenerative cells to improve skin quality, restore volume, and enhance under‑eye or facial rejuvenation without fillers or surgery. These cells support collagen production and tissue repair, creating gradual, natural‑looking improvement over several weeks. Many patients choose this treatment for a refreshed, rested appearance with long‑lasting results.
🩺 Universal Pre‑Treatment Guidelines
💊 Avoid Blood Thinners (5–7 Days Prior) Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, and other NSAIDs increase bruising risk. If you take prescription anticoagulants (Coumadin, Dabigatran, Apixaban), please notify us.
🚭 Avoid Alcohol & Smoking (48 Hours Prior) Both increase bruising and slow healing.
🌿 Consider Arnica Montana Topical or oral Arnica can reduce bruising for patients prone to it.
🧴 Arrive With Clean Skin No makeup, sunscreen, moisturizer, or oils. We will cleanse again before treatment.
🧊 Optional: Numbing Cream Apply Lidocaine 30 minutes before your appointment. If you don’t have any, we can provide it in‑office at no charge.
💉 Stem Cell Cosmetic — Before Care
Schedule your appointment at least 1 week before major events, as mild swelling or bruising can occur.
Maintain good hydration and a balanced diet to support skin health and treatment response.
Follow a gentle skincare routine for several days prior — avoid harsh exfoliants, peels, or aggressive treatments around the injection area.
If treating the under‑eye area and you have a history of cold sores, antiviral medication may be recommended.
Avoid spray tans or bronzing drops on the face for 1 week before treatment.
Arrive with clean skin and no eye makeup if treating the periorbital region.
🌈 Universal Aftercare Guidelines
✨ Mild Redness or Swelling Is Normal This typically resolves within a few hours.
🙅 Avoid Rubbing or Massaging Treated Areas Unless specifically instructed for your procedure.
🏃 Avoid Exercise & Lying Flat (4–6 Hours) This prevents product migration and reduces swelling.
🍷 Avoid Alcohol for 24 Hours Alcohol increases fluid retention and bruising.
🌿 Continue Arnica if Needed Avoid applying directly to injection sites.
💊 Resume Blood Thinners After 24 Hours Unless otherwise directed by your physician.
🌤️ Stem Cell Cosmetic — After Care
Mild discomfort or fullness at the injection site is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours.
You may apply makeup after 24 hours if the skin is not irritated.
Expect gradual improvement — full results typically develop over 6 weeks as regenerative activity increases.
Protect the area from sun exposure; use SPF 30+ and sunglasses to prevent pigmentation changes.
If bruising occurs, you may use topical Arnica; a cool compress wrapped in a towel may help with swelling.
Avoid facials, microcurrent, gua sha, or skin‑tightening treatments for 1 week.
Contact us if you experience increasing redness, warmth, or any unusual symptoms.
