Belkyra™ Pre-Treatment Instructions

Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to your Belkyra™ treatment as alcohol may thin the blood and increase your risk of bruising.

Avoid anti-inflammatory and blood thinning medications and supplements if possible for 2 weeks before your Belkyra™ treatment. Medications and supplements such as NSAIDs like Advil® (Ibuprofen), aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil, and Turmeric supplements. These all have a blood thinning effect and can increase your risk of bruising and swelling after your injections.

Be sure to schedule your Belkyra™ appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event or a vacation. Bruising and swelling may be visible in that time period.

If you have a rash, cold sore or blemish to the area being treated you will need to reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance

To avoid the chance of feeling light-headed during your treatment, be sure to have a good breakfast, including food and drink before your procedure.
