Potenza RF Microneedling Pre-Treatment Instructions
Microneedling with Potenza can help to address the most common aesthetic concerns with the added benefit of advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology. The Potenza RF Microneedling System delivers thermal energy to multiple layers of skin tissue, causing tissue contraction. The energy/heat combined iwth micro injury also triggers the body to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in skin tightening through soft-tissue coagulation. The RF energy is delivered via small gold needles. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF delivers energy deep into dermis so it can produce faster, more dramatic results than regular microneedling.
Contraindications: If you have any of these conditions or issues – this treatment is NOT for you.
- Clients with a pacemaker, or any metallic/electronic implanted devices.
- Clients who have previously had a gold-thread skin-rejuvenation treatment.
- Clients with keloid scar formation propensity.
- Clients with active, open or healing skin infections.
- Clients with allergy to gold.
- Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Clients with unrealistic expectations – this is NOT plastic surgery, and results are seen in 4-6 weeks.
- Clients with moderate-severe Auto-immune disease, Diabetic complications, Herpes simplex virus, Epilepsy, HIV, or Dermatitis.
- Clients who have recieved fillers or neurotoxins (botox) should wait 2 weeks before recieving a Potenza treatment.
Keep hydrated by drinking water (at least eight cups daily) or hydrating fluids to improve treatments outcomes.
Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours in advance of treatment.
For 3 to 7 days prior to treatment, at the provider’s discretion, avoid therapies that may cause erythema (redness) or irritation, such as retinols or products containing isotretinoin and any exfoliating acid preparations.
Avoid medications that alter the healing response or hemostasis for 3-7 days (always check with your prescribing practicitoner before stopping any medications).
Shave visible hair from the treatment area.
Male beards should be shaved on the day of treatment.
Precautions:
*If you are prone to fever blisters/cold sores, please take prophylactic antiviral medication (Valcyclovir, Acyclovir) prior to treatment.
If you have lesions in the treatment area that have not been evaluated or diagnosed: they should be evaluated prior to treatment day.
If you have skin malignacies – this should be evaluated prior to treatment by your primary medical practicioner.
If you have used retinols/retinoids in the last 7 days, this can cause erythema and casue the skin to become heat sensistive and occasionally pinpoint bleeding.
If you have tattoos, permanent makeup, and permanent brows in the treatment area: caution must be used because the ink in these areas is unregulated and may have metallic components.
The same procedure should be followed prior to each visit.
Post-meopausal women may have decreased elasticity in their skin. The results of treatment may be favorable but could potentially not last the same amount of time as they would for non-menopausal women.
Over time, patients who smoke may see reesults diminish more quickly than nonsmoker’s results. Smokers may also be more sensitive to heat. Please bear these things in mind when you come for your treatment.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your treatment to to fill out your Medical History Intake and sign Informed Consents.
During the treatment you can expect to feel some tingling and even some “snapping” sensations – this is normal and the tingling will typically resolve within 48 hours post treatment.
You can expect to have some redness and even some “gridding” over the treated areas. The redness resoves quickly within hours and looks like you were out in the sun. The “gridding” is from the needles, and can last several days, but is barely noticeable – and may even feel bumpy. This is normal. You can expect to still go have a normal day post-treatment while following all the post care instructions.
Rare Complications:
Skin purging – the energy and tissue heat can cause bacteria and oils deeper in the skin to erupt and cause a breakout. This is incredibly rare and will resolve as the skin heals. Do not pick at the bumps.
Histamine response – again, this is a rare occurrence, so if you experience rash like itchy redness – take a benadryl or antihistamine to help with symptoms, topical hydrocortisone also helps – it goes away in a few days. Cool compresses or ice compresses may be used to ease any irritation.
Feel free to call us with any questions you have (360) 852-1672.
Thank You! We look forward to seeing you soon.
Neurotoxin Pre-Treatment Instructions
Botulinum toxin treatment involves the injection of highly diluted, individualized doses of botulinum toxin A into (or in proximity to) overactive muscles which are responsible for the formation of wrinkles. Botulinum toxin relaxes muscles by diminishing their ability to contract, thereby allowing for the body to replenish collagen under the wrinkles over time.
Pre-Treatment Instructions:
Avoid supplements such as Gingko, green tea, fish oil for 3-4 days prior to injections, to minimize the risk of bleeding or bruising.
Avoid medications such as aspirin and NSAIDS, including ibuprofen, Aleve, etc. for 3-4 days prior to injections.
Avoid chemical peels, topical retinoids, microdermabrasion, facials, and micro-needling for one week prior to injections.
Avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours before your botox visit – alcohol can cause bleeding and bruising from the lingering vasodilatory effects.
Please arrive with no makeup or topical medications on your skin if possible.
Please let our injector know if you have a history of myasthenia gravis, muscle weakness, or have had complications from any prior botox injections.
If you have any questions, please call us at (360) 852-1672.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Pre-Treatment Instructions
Schedule your injection at a time when minor swelling or bruising will not disrupt your social obligations.

This includes: aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil), naproxen, Aleve, fish oil, St. John’s Wort, flax, Vitamin E, Vitamin D, garlic, Ginkgo Biloba, ginseng, etc.
Alcohol should be avoided 24 hours pre- or post- injectable treatment, as it can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. You can consider taking Arnica Montana natural supplement to help bruising (take 5 tablets three times per day starting one week prior to treatment).
Please notify your provider if you have any history of cold sores, as we will consider pre-medicating with an antiviral prescription prior to injections.
Cancel your appointment if you have any open sores in the treatment area. It is important that you alert us of any medical conditions you may have and/or any prescribed medications you are taking prior to your treatment.
Any injection introduces the risk for infection. For this reason, the following is taken into consideration when proceeding with injections. We will delay injectables if you:

Hair Restoration Pre & Post-Treatment Instructions
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) OR PFR (Platelet Rich Fibrin) can help to address the most common aesthetic concerns regarding age-related hair loss.
You will have blood drawn into a lab tube that is then centrifuged for 5-12 minutes and the PRP/PRF will be drawn out to be delivered into your scalp by injecting it into the areas of concern.
You will be numbed with tiny injections of local anesthetic prior to the treatment to minimize any discomfort during treatment. PRP/PRF is delivered to the target area via injection with a tiny guaged needle and causes micro injury to the scalp to cause minor inflammation, which tricks your body into begining the healing process.
Contraindications: If you have any of these conditions or issues – this treatment is not for you.
- Clients with keloid scar formation propensity.
- Clients with active or healing scalp infections.
- Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Clients with unrealistic expectations – this is NOT plastic surgery. It can take multiple treatments to see improvement in hair growth and hair quality.
- Clients with Auto-immune disease, Diabetic complications, Herpes simplex virus, Epilepsy, HIV, or Dermatitis.
The PRP/PRF provides protiens and growth factors neccesary for hair growth by nourishing the hair folicles deep in the dermis using the growth factors and stem cells from your own blood cells.
PLEASE:
Keep hydrated by drinking water (at least eight cups daily) or hydrating fluids to improve treatments outcomes.
Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours in advance of treatment.
For 3 days prior to treament – DO NOT use Rogaine/Minoxidil.
Avoid medications that alter the healing response or hemostasis for 3-7 days (always check with your prescribing practicitoner before stopping any medications).
Precautions:
If you are prone to fever blisters/cold sores, please take prophylactic antiviral medication (Valcyclovir, Acyclovir) prior to treatment.
If you have lesions in the treatment area that have not been evaluated or diagnosed: they should be evaluated prior to treatment day.
If you have scalp malignacies – this should be evaluated prior to treatment by your primary medical practicioner.
***The same procedure should be followed prior to each visit.
Over time, patients who smoke may see reesults diminish more quickly than nonsmoker’s results. Please bear these things in mind when you come for your treatment.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your treatment to to fill out your Medical History Intake and sign Informed Consents, if you have not submitted them online.
During the treatment you can expect to feel some tingling sensations – this is normal and the tingling will typically resolve within 48 hours post treatment. The local anesthetic wears off in several hours.
DO NOT WASH HAIR POST-TREATMENT for 24 hours. Use a gentle Baby shampoo. DO NOT rub, scrub, or apply any tonics, hair gels, or topical medications for up to one week post-treatment. You need to allow your scalp to heal.
You can expect to have some redness in the treated areas. The redness resoves quickly within hours and looks like you were out in the sun. This is normal. You can expect to still go have a normal day post-treatment while following all the post care instructions.
You may notice some hair loss initially after treatment – this is due to the new hair shafts pushing out the old hair – trust the process.
You need at least 6 inital treatments, scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to see the best results.
Consider using the AnteAGE Home Hair microneedling kit as an adjunct to PRP/PRF. The kit contains everything you need.
Consider Keravive scalp treatments monthly to cleanse the scalp and infuse growth peptides to jump start hair restoration – includes a take home peptide scalp spray for daily use.
Maintenance treatments should resume monthly from your initial treatment – and depending on your results you should plan to have 6 monthly treatments, followed by treatments every 3 months – which you and your injector will discuss which time frame is best for your individual needs.
Please schedule your treatments ahead of time so you don’t have a lapse in treatment as your hair may revert back to pre-treatment thinning.
Our provider will perform a scalp analysis using a magification device to evaluate the scalp and hair folicles.
Feel free to call us with any questions you have (360) 852-1672.
Thank You! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Keravive Pre-Treatment Instructions
You should complete your Medical History, Allergies, and Hydrafacial Questionnaire PRIOR to arriving for your appointment.
ARRIVE TO YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH WASHED & CLEAN HAIR, FREE OF PRODUCTS
We will have to reschedule your Hydrafacial Keravive appointment if you have not washed your hair or it is full of haircare products.
What to expect during treatment:
Our provider will review your history and allergies prior to assessing your scalp under magnification to view the health of the scalp and folicles, in multiple areas.
The Keravive treatment feels like a scalp massage as it works in small areas to cleanse the scalp deeply. It uses gentle suction to lift away oils, bacteria, and dead skin and infuses a serum rich with peptides formulated to nourish the hair folicles. Your scalp and hair will get damp during treatment, however, the serum absorbs rapidly, and your hair will dry in about 20 minutes without any build-up.
Bring a hat if you are shy about having damp hair when you leave the appointment.
Pro Tips for Best Results:
Consider adding the AnteAGE Home Hair Kit, it contains hair specific growth factors and stem cells and a microneedling kit for the scalp. We carry the kit in clinic, and the AnteAGE hair serum refills.
We also have AnteAGE hair growth factors that can be used at your Keravive visit, as a topical application, to boost the regenerative effects at the folicle at the cellular level for healthier hair growth.
PRP Hair Restoration can be beneficial as it uses your own stem cells and growth factors to stimulate folicles to produce healthier hair.
Using a DHT blocking shampoo and conditioner can also help with hair restoration efforts. DHT (a byproduct of testosterone metabolism) can cause hair follicles to shrink and stop producing hair. This shampoo blocks the DHT by penetrating the scalp to alleviate a contributing factor of hair loss. You can find one on Amazon, they are reasonably priced. Shiny Leaf is a brand we like.
If you have especially hard water, a shower filter can work to minimize the hard minerals that can weaken hair.
Please call or text (360)852-1672 with any questions you may have.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

HA Filler Reversal/Dissolving with Hylenex
Dissolving fillers can be a complicated procedure that requires experience and skill. The practitioner must carefully assess the patient’s needs and determine the amount and type of filler that needs to be removed. They must also consider the patient’s medical history and any potential risks associated with the procedure. There is always a risk that this procedure could cause serious complications such as infection, scarring, allergic reaction, bleeding or nerve damage.
Before you embark on your filler dissolving procedure, it’s important to have a comprehensive understanding of the process. Don’t be shy about asking your practitioner plenty of questions, and make sure to share your medical history to avoid any potential complications.
One key thing to remember is to steer clear of any medications that can thin your blood such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E for at least a week prior to your treatment. These could potentially heighten the risk of bruising or bleeding during the procedure. It’s also a good idea to stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet leading up to your appointment. Your skin reflects your overall health and nourishing it from the inside will enhance the healing process post-procedure.
The procedure itself is typically quick and straightforward. The practitioner will use a tiny needle to inject hyaluronidase solution into the areas where the filler is located, then perform a gentle massage to the tissues to encourage the breakdown of the filler. This enzyme breaks down the hyaluronic acid-based fillers, allowing them to dissolve and be naturally eliminated by your body. The sensation is like a slight pinch or sting, but topical numbing cream or lidocaine is often used to minimize discomfort.
WHAT IS HYALURONIDASE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Hyaluronidase is essentially an enzyme, derived from bee venom, that can cut through hyaluronic acid which is the primary ingredient in many dermal fillers. So, when we talk about dissolving fillers, it’s hyaluronidase (Hylenex) that does all the work. Please let your Provider know if you have an allergy to bee venom. A skin test should always be performed prior to any Hylenex injections to ensure your safety.
How does it work?
When injected into the area where the filler is, it breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the filler, helping to dissolve and absorb it into the body. It’s like a magic eraser for unwanted filler! This process can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of weeks. It may take 2-3 injections to fully dissolve the target area, depending on the location, size and other factors.
IS DISSOLVING FILLER WITH HYALURONIDASE SAFE?
It’s important to note that it is safe to dissolve filler with hyaluronidase when performed by a healthcare professional with the required expertise, this is vital! But, even in the safest of hands, there are still a few possible concerns, depending on the treated location. The risks and adverse effects of dissolving fillers include:
Bruising and or tenderness: Small bruises at the injection sites are the most common side effect. These typically fade within a few days.
Swelling: You may experience some swelling at the injection points. This is usually minor and resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Redness: The injection site may appear red immediately after the treatment. This is a normal reaction and typically subsides within a few hours.
Volume loss or skin laxity: In rare cases, hyaluronidase can dissolve your body’s natural hyaluronic acid along with the filler’s. This can lead to volume loss in areas where you didn’t want it.
Allergic reaction: A small percentage of patients have been found to have an anaphylactic reaction to hyaluronidase which if untreated can have serious consequences. If you have a known allergy to bee or wasp stings then there is a chance that you may be allergic to hyaluronidase and would need to discuss this with your practitioner prior to considering filler treatments. At Ethereal Aesthetics, our Provider will perform a skin test prior to evaluating your response to Hyaluronidase (Hylenex) prior to injecting the area to be treated.
Slight bleeding which resolves quickly.

This entails discussing medical history, medications, chronic illness, use of of supplements, vitamins and obtaining vitals if deemed appropriate. Your safelty is our utmost importance.
Common side effects after an initial PICO CBD IV treatment include feeling cold or heat, drowsiness or relaxation. A hot bath or shower can mitigate some of these effects as the cannabidiol helps to detoxify your body over the next several days. These effects subside with weekly infusions and are commonly experienced in first time users as toxins are purged out of the body. Rarely, nausea is experienced.
In rare cases, a Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction can occur: abrupt onset of fever, chills, myalgia, headache, tachycardia, hyperventilation, flushing, and mild hypotension 1–2 hours after treatment using antimicrobial agents, such as CBD.
PICO CBD IV contains zero Delta-THC, which means it is not psychoactive. You will not experience any “high” from this treatment. It is made from hemp grown in the USA.
Avoid standing up too quickly to avoid becoming dizzy or a fall.
Vitamin hydration treatments are a wonderful way to care for your body from the inside out – we want the very best for you and can customize your treatment to meet your needs.

Pre-Treatment for CHANEL Injections
CHANEL poly-revitalizing injection pre-treatment instructions:
You just scheduled an exciting skin rejuvenating treatment!!
Please arrive at your appointment well hydrated with a clean face.
Please do not take any blood thinners or drink alcohol for 24 hours before your injections. This minimizes the risk of bleeding/bruising.

Curious about what the CHANEL Injection is all about?
CHANEL Mesotherapeutic Injections can be prescribed as a therapeutic rejuvenation for skin showing the classic signs of aging. Your injector may prescribe these injections as a series in conjunction with Radiesse or Sculptra series to produce more profound results over time to dial back the clock on aging skin. Mesotherapy in combination with biostimulant injectables offers profound rejuvenation effects that are longer lasting when combined with collagen induction treatments such as Potenza RF Microneedling or energy based treatments.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE: There is no clinical data available in terms of tolerance with regard to injection in an area that has already been treated with another “permanent” filling product. Precaution should be taken in such cases, although Chanel Mesotherapeutic is not injected at the same level. Patients receiving an anticoagulant treatment or a platelet aggregation inhibitor (i.e., aspirin) must be informed of the increased risk of bruising and mild bleeding at the injection site. The patient should be given the recommendation not to use makeup for 12 hours following the injection and to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, UV rays, freezing temperatures as well as use of saunas or steam rooms for at least 48 hours after the injection. Chanel Mesotherapeutic must not be injected at the same time as a medium or deep chemical peeling or dermabrasion. A local anesthetic (patch or cream) can be applied prior to the injection. Please note that anesthetic products can cause local redness or hypersensitivity. Do not inject into beauty spots (naevil) and in active acne lesions.
UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS: The practitioner must inform the patient that there are possible undesirable effects related to the implantation of this device, such as redness or mild local inflammation that usually disappears within 24 to 48 hours; mild edema and small hematomas may occur, but disappear within 48 hours; minimal bleeding at the injection site that stops rapidly and spontaneously after the injection; transient pain at the injection site. The patient must notify the Practitioner as soon as possible of any inflammatory reactions lasting more than one week or the appearance of any other adverse effect.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Before starting any treatment, the patient must be informed of the indications of the device, its contraindications, its incompatibilities and its possible undesirable effects. All asepsis and hygiene precautions must be taken to prepare the site, the material and the patient prior to the injection.
PROTOCOL: The recommended dose is 0.05ml per injection point, spaced around 1 – 1.5cm. The recommended protocol consists of 4-6 treatments, at intervals of 2 weeks. Additional maintenance treatments can be given every 3 months if the practitioner deems it necessary with regard to skin quality.
How long do results last?
Patients will note a progressive and cumulative positive impact on their skin following the initial correction and repair phases of treatment, with the skin becoming increasingly radiant and even in tone. These effects will last as long as 2-6 months, after which a maintenance procedure is necessary to preserve the results.
Current research efforts are underway in publication regarding the admixture of Sculptra or Radiesse for implantation at the same treatment. Many aesthetic practitioners and plastic surgeons are experimenting and researching its usefulness in providing improved benefits and longer lasting results (Korea, Canada, UK, France, China, etc).
StemFacial® Microneedling Pre-Treatment Instructions
StemFacial® Microneedling Pre-Treatment Instructions
The Micro-Needling treatment allows for controlled induction of growth factor serums and hyaluronic acid, into the
skins self-repair process by creating micro injuries in the skin. These injuries stimulate new collagen production, while
not posing the risk of permanent scaring. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin.
Contraindications:
Scleroderma, collagen vascular disease, or cardiac abnormalities, rosacea, blood clotting problems, platelet abnormalities, anticoagulation therapy (i.e.: Warfarin), facial cancer, past and present, chemotherapy, steroid therapy, dermatological diseases affecting the face (i.e. Porphyria), diabetes and other chronic conditions, active bacterial or fungal infections, immune-suppression, scars less than 6 months old and facial fillers in the past 2-4 weeks.
Treatment is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or nursing.
Precautions: keloid or raised scarring, eczema, psoriasis, actinic keratosois, and herpes simplex.
Side Effects Typically Include:
• Skin will be pink or red and may feel warm, like mild sunburn, tight and itchy, which
usually subside in 12 to 24 hrs
• Minor flaking or dryness of the skin, with scab formation in rare cases.
• Crusting, discomfort, bruising and swelling may occur.
• Pinpoint bleeding.
• It is possible to have a cold sore flare if you have a history of outbreaks – take an anti-viral medication prphylactically for 1-2 days before and after treatment to avoid cold sore eruption.
• Freckles may lighten temporarily or permanently disappear in treated areas.
• Infection is rare but if you see any signs of tender redness or puss notify our office immediately.

LaseMD Ultra Pre-Treatment Instructions
What is LaseMD Ultra?
LaseMD Ultra is a gentle but effective non-ablative laser that targets the water molecules in the skin. The treatment can be customized to fit your needs – whether you are looking for a light resurfacing to give your skin a glowing appearance before a special occasion or a deeper treatment to address fine lines, pigmentation and mild to moderate sun damage, LaseMD Ultra is the perfect addition to your skin care routine. LaseMD Ultra is also great to pair with other treatments, though not always in the same visit: neurotoxin injections, chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning and other facial services to maximize results.
PRE-TREATMENT
Here are some things you can do to prepare for an ultra laser treatment:
Avoid sun exposure! Avoid sun tanning, excess sun exposure and indoor tanning for at least 3-4 weeks prior to your treatment and avoid spray tans and self-tanners for at least 2 weeks prior to your visit. This is a must. You should also apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF of at least 20 daily when you’re outdoors.
Stop using certain products. Stop using topical acids and exfoliants, like retinoids, and glycolic acid, for 3 days before your treatment. You should also avoid aggressive facials: waxing, electrolysis, threading, and other laser treatments for at least a week before your procedure.
Cleanse your skin. On the day of your treatment, arrive with clean skin and avoid applying lotion, cosmetics, or sunscreen to the treatment area. If you do so, please let us know so we can cleanse the area prior to treatment.
Wear comfortable clothing. Wear loose clothing so the treatment area is easy to access. If necessary, you will be scheduled to arrive 30 minutes prior to your planned laser treatment for application of numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable. Most often there is no need for numbing to be applied – this will be determined by the practitioner.
What can I expect during treatment?
You will feel some heat and tingling as the laser is passed over the skin. The number of passes and procedure time will depend on the depth of treatment, lasting anywhere from 5-20 minutes. For mild treatments, the discomfort is very minimal.
What are the possible risks of Ultra Laser?
Side effects of laser treatment are manageable and while complications are rare with modern lasers, there is still some risk.
The primary risks are as follows:
Pigment changes: There is a risk of healing with hyperpigmentation (darker color) or
hypopigmentation (lighter color) in laser treated areas. In patients with darker skin tones the risk is greater and so precautions such as lower laser settings are often used. Hyperpigmentation can be treated with hydroquinone creams and will often improve on its own over time. For those who are at higher risk we may pretreat with a hydroquinone cream to reduce this risk.
Infection: Bacterial and viral infections in treated areas are rare. Those with a history of frequent cold sores are at risk of reactivation of cold sores if they are undergoing laser treatment on their face. Please let the clinic know if you have a history of frequent cold sores, please notify the provider, and antiviral medication will be prescribed to use just prior and immediately after laser treatment. Bacterial infections may present as the eruption of numerous painful pustules, non healing sores and honey colored crusting. Please reach out to the clinic if there is any concern for post treatment infection (360) 852-1672.
Are there patients that should not undergo treatment with LaseMD Ultra?
Treatment is not recommended for patients that have current skin cancer, active rash, or skin infection in the treatment area. Additionally, treatment is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or nursing.
How long should I wait between treatments?
Treatments should be spaced on average 4-6 weeks apart to allow adequate time for full recovery of skin in between sessions. Most patients require several treatments to achieve desired results.
POST TREATMENT
What should I expect after my LaseMD Ultra treatment?
You may experience redness and a burning sensation, like a sunburn, for a few hours immediately post treatment. This can be managed with soft gel ice packs, cold compresses and aloe or laser gel. Redness and sensitivity may last 2 days and occasionally light swelling occurs on post treatment day 1-2.
Keep the treated skin clean; use clean pillow cases each night for several days until the skin is healed. Skin should be cleansed morning and evening. Keep the treatment area well moisturized. Use a cream-based moisturizer rather than a balm/ointment-based moisturizer as often as needed. For those with intense itching not relieved with moisturizing alone, an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream may also be used twice a day for up to 1 week.
Protect your skinvestment by using medical grade skin care as recommended by our providers. We carry multiple products that are safe to use before and after any in-office energy-based treatments.
The skin typically forms a dry, brown, coarse coffee ground like crust 1-2 days after treatment. Gently wash the skin with your fingertips and a mild cleanser and pat the skin dry. Do not scrub or exfoliate the treated area. The coarse crusts naturally slough on their own in 5-7 days for most patients.
Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for the first 72 hours post treatment or until redness, sensitivity and swelling has resolved. Increased redness may result from any activity that raises heart rate or body temperature (i.e. saunas, exercise, alcohol consumption).
Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen along with sun protective clothing or broad brimmed hats to keep the treatment area sun protected for 3 weeks post treatment. Seek shade for sun protection when possible.
We look forward to working with you towards your goal of beautiful healthy skin!
NAD+ Fact Sheet for IV or IM Administration
What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a form of Vitamin B3 (Niacin). This coenzyme is found in the mitochondria of all living cells. This coenzyme is heavily involved in DNA repair and cellular remodeling. It has been known to “ turn off” those genes that accelerate degenerative aging and is essential for maintaining neurotransmitter levels for the proper functioning of the brain. It is key in cellular metabolism.
As we age, our NAD levels decrease making us less able to repair cellular damage. We begin to lose energy, appear older and have decreased brain function. NAD+ plays a significant role in anti-aging.
With NAD+ IV therapy and the NAD+ IM Shot, the molecule works rapidly to repair cells throughout the body and neurons in the brain. It serves as a catalyst in ultimate brain restoration which assists in overcoming depression, anxiety, and common mood disorders. Restoring and supplementing NAD+ in the body may improve physical appearance, health, and quality of life.
What are the benefits of NAD+ Supplementation:
● increase energy levels
● enhance mood & mental clarity
● reverse the visible effects of aging
● reduce fatigue
● restore muscle function and athletic performance
● restore brain chemistry and neurotransmitter function
● prevent & correct damage to DNA
● regulate inflammation that damages DNA
● improve physical appearance, health, and quality of life
What are some contraindications the provider may ask me about?
● Allergy to Vitamin B3 or Niacin
● Patients with a history of any form of cancer
● Due to the direct action on the mitochondria
● Patients on dopamine agonists
● NAD has been known to increase Dopamine levels
● Dopamine agonists can be used for Parkinson’s, depression and fibromyalgia
How is it administered?
The NAD+IV is administered in an IV and infused over a slow drip rate of up to 4 hours for first-time patients. Many patients take less than 4 hours, especially for subsequent infusions. The NAD IM is an intramuscular shot that patients can get in their glut or deltoid muscle.
What is the recommended regimen?
For the NAD+ IV, the recommended regimen is once weekly for 4 weeks, followed by a maintenance infusion once the following month and then one additional maintenance dose 3-6 months later. Best results were seen when administered with Glutathione (a potent antioxidant).
How long does the drip last?
The initial drip can take up to 4 hours. If a person has had multiple treatments before and can tolerate the drip at a faster rate it can be increased at the provider’s discretion.
Why does the infusion take so long?
Side effects that are normally experienced with the NAD infusion are directly related to the speed of infusion itself. By getting NAD+ at a slow infusion rate side effects are minimized.
What does the process of getting the infusion involve?
Schedule an appointment with our team to ensure you have adequate time available for the drip. The recommended time is 4 hours for your first visit.
Meet with our provider to go over your health history to ensure you are a candidate to receive NAD+ IV therapy.
Your IV will be started and you can relax in our lounge for the duration of the drip. WIFI is provided so that you may work, take conference calls, relax, read or entertain yourself during this time.
Side effects, if any, are infusion rate dependent during the time of the infusion and are not commonly experienced after the infusion.
What are the side effects?
Most side effects are directly related to the speed at which the IV is infused at the time of the infusion. They can be relieved by slowing down the infusion. Side effects lessen with subsequent infusions.
● Headache or fullness/pressure in the head
● Chest tightness
● Anxiety or feeling of doom
● Severe nausea/abdominal cramping
What can I expect to feel afterward?
● mental clarity
● enhanced energy
● effects felt more after 3-4 infusions
Is NAD+ safe?
● Yes. NAD+is very safe.
All treatments are administered by nurse providers and IV Specialists at Ethereal Aesthetics for anti-aging and a brain reboot.
The NAD+ Drip is several hours. For optimal results, complete a series of 4 NAD+ IV Drips prior to having the NAD+ IM SHOT.
Protocol: Optimal use for anti-aging and energy restoration is:
- Loading phase: once weekly IV infusions for 4 weeks
- Booster infusion: 1 month later
- Maintenance IV infusion: every 3-6 months or as needed
- Based on patient needs and provider clearance frequency in IVs can be increased but with a minimum time between infusions of 3 days.
One NAD+ IV is suggested prior to receiving an NAD+ IM shot.
Protocol: NAD+IM Shot: Two 50mg shots/week for two weeks or 50 or 100mg/once or twice a week for maintenance.
NAD IM comes in 50mg and 100mg dosing and is recommended to receive 2 shots a week for at least 2 weeks and for as long as you feel results.
It is recommended to receive an NAD+ IV prior to IM injections to help saturate the cells and to easily monitor how well the NAD+ IV is tolerated. IM Shots are ideal to be given in between IV infusions to help maintain NAD levels in the body.
Pre-Treatment Information for Skin Boosters
Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Avoid Blood Thinners – For 3-5 days before treatment, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), fish oil, vitamin E, and other blood-thinning supplements (unless medically necessary) to reduce bruising risk.
- Limit Alcohol & Caffeine – Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to minimize swelling and bruising.
- Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water before your session to support skin hydration and optimize results.
- Avoid Active Skincare – Discontinue use of retinol, AHAs/BHAs, and exfoliating acids 3-5 days before treatment to prevent skin irritation.
- No Dental Work or Vaccines – Avoid scheduling dental work, vaccinations, or other injectable treatments within 2 weeks of your appointment to minimize risk of infection.
- Cold Sore Prevention – If you are prone to cold sores, take your prescribed antiviral medication (e.g., Valtrex) starting 1-2 days before treatment.
- Come with Clean Skin – Arrive at your appointment with no makeup, lotions, or skincare products on the treatment area.
Our Practitioner will discuss the areas you desire to treat and topical numbing may be applied if needed. As with any injections – you may expereince bruising that can take several weeks to resolve, depending on the areas treated and the number of injections during treatment.
Oral and topical Arnica Montana can help minimize bruising and speed recovery from bruising.
Renveau Liquid PDO+HA:
Renveau is a sterile, biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic polymer that contains microparticles of Poly-dioxanone and Hyaluronic Acid (30%). After use, the chemical complounds present in Renveau begin to stimulate collagen formation around the application site. Renveau stimulates collagen to improve facial wrinkles, fine lines, under eye wrinkles and dark circles. Renveau also has brightening and tightening effects as well as improves skin complexion.
Post inflammatory pigmentation changes may occur in people with dark skin (Fitzpatrick Type IV-VI). Renveau should be massaged gently so that it conforms to the contour of the surrounding tissues. Renveau is contraindicated if you have multiple severe allergies, anaphylaxis or a history of allergies to gram positive bacteria. There is a risk of vascular occlusion if Renveau should be introduced to the vasculature – which requires immediate medical intervention. All treatment procedures carry a risk of infection.
