FILLERS (ex: Restylane/Juvederm etc) -  Avoid any facial treatments for AT LEAST 3-4 WEEKS AFTER all filler injections. 

COLD SORES (HSV) - If you have a strong history of HSV (cold sores), it is strongly recommended to take Valtrex/Valacyclovir prior to treatment. Doing so, will reduce the likelihood of an outbreak due to your treatment.
