To ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects, please follow these guidelines before your EndoLift® procedure:
1. Two Weeks Before Treatment
-
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, unless prescribed by your physician (examples: aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba).
-
Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acids, and other exfoliating agents on the treatment area.
-
No tanning or self-tanner on the face or neck. Avoid direct sun exposure.
-
Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can impair healing and reduce treatment effectiveness.
2. One Week Before Treatment
-
If you are prone to cold sores, inform your provider — a prophylactic antiviral may be recommended.
-
Hydrate well. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily to support collagen stimulation and recovery.
3. Day of Treatment
-
Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, sunscreen, or perfume.
-
Eat a light meal beforehand and stay hydrated.
-
Avoid caffeine the morning of your treatment to help minimize bruising.
-
Dress comfortably and avoid wearing jewelry in the treatment area.
