BEFORE YOU VISIT

Here are a few tips on the best ways to prepare for your visit.

Your consultation with Dr. Kimberly Gilbert is a key part of your experience!  

Dr. Gilbert and you will discuss in-depth your aesthetic goals, and she will customize a treatment plan to achieve your desired look.

In-office and mobile consultations include before and after photos, a complete beauty evaluation, and recommendations for that day and any future visits.

Free wi-fi is available in our office as well as complimentary decaffeinated coffee and tea.

To save time on your first visit, sign up for client portal access and complete all forms prior to your appointment.

Please note that your appointment can be canceled WITHOUT REFUND if you have not completed all required forms prior to the start of your appointment time.   We pride ourselves in knowing the medical and social history of our clients before treatments to minimize any potential risks as well as maximize appointment time and results.  Your appointment is to REVIEW your paperwork and perform your treatment(s).

​

ALCOHOL 

It is best not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours before and after treatment, as alcohol may increase bruising risk.

​

FOODS & MEDICATIONS

If you are having any treatment that involves a needle, avoid anti-inflammatory/blood-thinning medications, if possible, two (2) weeks before treatment, as blood-thinning effects can increase bruising and swelling risk.

Examples are Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, and other NSAIDs. 

You can still take Tylenol for pain.  You can also take oral Arnica montana to reduce your risk of bruising and swelling.

​

Avoid salty foods before and after your treatments because the sodium can increase your risk of swelling.

​

MAKEUP

Please do not come in with makeup applied or at least be prepared to remove it.

​

HYDRATION

Eat well and stay hydrated before your appointment.

​

OTHER TREATMENTS

Avoid hair removal treatments, laser treatments, and chemical peels in the areas to be treated for at least 48 hours prior to your treatment.

​

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

If you have a history of cold sores, mention it when reserving your appointment.  Treatments could lead to an outbreak.

Dr. Gilbert does not perform treatments on pregnant or breastfeeding clients.

​

SWELLING & BRUISING

For dermal filler treatments, try to schedule your appointment at least two (2) weeks before special events since swelling can take up to two (2) weeks to resolve.
