ATTIVA
PRE-CARE & AFTERCARE
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
This is an innovative treatment designed to deliver astonishing results in just ONE session, with NO DOWTIME aside from any bruising that may occur in the treated area.
To minimize the risk and promote faster healing of any potential bruising, I recommend over-the-counter oral Arnica tablets about 3-5 days before and 3-5 days after your session.
Please confirm with your doctor before taking this supplement, especially if you are on any other medications.
Here is a link to purchase Arnica on Amazon if you'd like:
Avoid blood thinners for about 3 days before and after your session. This includes ibuprofen/advil products, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine
( don't panic- minimal coffee is ok!)
​
IMPORTANT:
If you are prone to cold sores in the area we will be treating, please request an antiviral prescription from your regular doctor and begin this medication 1-2 days prior to your appointment. This will help prevent any cold sores from arising due to the treatment.
If you are not prone to cold sores, you do not need to worry about this step!
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
Be gentle with the treated area, so as not to exacerbate bruising
​
Avoid intense exercise for about 24 hours, light exercise is ok.
Remove the small clear patches covering your entry ports after 24 hours
No swimming or using hot tubs for about 2 days
​
Avoid using ice on any bruising or swelling, as this will contradict the heat stimulus effect
​
Always be sure to use sunblock after 24 hours as skin will be more sensitive and prone to sunburn!
