*Caffeine, alcohol, & non-steroidal anti inflammatory medications (Advil/Motrin (Ibuprofen), Aleve (Naproxen), Bayer (Aspirin), etc.) thin the blood & make you more sensitive to treatment/can potentially delay your healing time.

You can still be treated; however, this will results in the need for more treatment sessions.
