Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be treated at the first appointment?

Often, yes. Your consultation and treatment are usually the same visit, once you and your practitioner have agreed a plan. You are never obliged to go ahead on the day.

Is there anything I should avoid beforehand?

It helps to avoid alcohol and, unless prescribed, aspirin or ibuprofen for a day or two before, as they can increase bruising. Your aftercare guide has the full list for your treatment.
