INJECTABLES

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Let your provider know about medications, blood thinners, supplements, recent antibiotics, or any other botulinum toxin treatment you’ve received.
    • Tell us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, feeling unwell, or have an infection or irritation near the planned treatment area.

    • Otherwise, you may return to most normal daily activities right away.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Small bumps, redness, tenderness, or mild bruising at the injection sites can occur and typically improve quickly. You may begin noticing your Botox results within 1–2 days, with results continuing to develop over the following weeks. Temporary headache or a feeling of heaviness can also occur.

    CONTACT US IF
    Please contact Ivanity if you experience significant or worsening eyelid or brow drooping, persistent asymmetry, unusual weakness, or another reaction that concerns you.

    Seek immediate medical attention for difficulty breathing, swallowing or speaking; widespread muscle weakness; or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction. These reactions are uncommon but require prompt medical evaluation.

    These instructions provide general guidance. Always follow any personalized instructions given by your Ivanity provider.

    • Sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night if swelling is significant.
    • Allow swelling to settle before evaluating symmetry or your final result.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Because facial balancing may involve several areas, swelling can be uneven at first. Bruising, redness, tenderness, firmness, temporary asymmetry, and small lumps or bumps can occur after dermal filler. Most early reactions improve over several days to a few weeks.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity promptly for severe or increasing pain, unusual pale/white, gray, dusky or mottled skin, cool skin, blistering, worsening discoloration, or rapidly increasing swelling. Although uncommon, filler can accidentally enter or compress a blood vessel and interfere with blood supply.

    • Allow swelling to settle before evaluating your final shape or symmetry.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Mild swelling, tenderness, redness, bruising, or temporary firmness can occur following filler. Some unevenness immediately afterward may simply be related to swelling and should improve as the area settles.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity immediately for increasing or unusual pain, skin that becomes pale/white, gray, dusky or mottled, cool skin, blistering, or worsening discoloration. The nose is an area where vascular complications from filler can be particularly serious.

    Seek emergency medical attention immediately for any sudden blurred vision, vision loss, severe eye pain, weakness, difficulty speaking, or other stroke-like symptoms.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

    • Treatment should be postponed if you have an active infection, rash, cyst, breakout, or inflammation in the treatment area.
    • Safety has not been established during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
    • Do not stop prescribed medications unless instructed by the clinician who prescribed them.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Massage for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help distribute the product evenly.
    • During the first 24 hours, use a cloth-wrapped cold pack as needed for swelling—do not place ice directly on your skin.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun/UV exposure, and extreme temperatures for approximately 24 hours.
    • Makeup may generally be applied several hours afterward if there are no complications or open injection sites.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    You may look fuller immediately after treatment because of swelling and the fluid used to prepare Sculptra. This initial fullness decreases as the fluid is absorbed; Sculptra’s cosmetic improvement develops gradually as treatment progresses. Swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, itching, and temporary lumps or bumps may occur.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity for worsening or persistent swelling, redness, pain, warmth, drainage, or new/persistent lumps or nodules, including those that develop weeks or months after treatment. Delayed papules and nodules have been reported with Sculptra.

    Seek immediate medical attention for unusual or severe pain, whitening/blanching of the skin, sudden vision changes, or signs of a stroke such as sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, previous filler or biostimulator treatments, recent procedures, and your medical history.

    • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and significant sun exposure for the first 24 hours when possible.
    • Be gentle with skincare and makeup around injection sites.
    • Allow swelling and firmness to settle before evaluating your final contour.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, itching, and temporary firmness can occur after RADIESSE®. You may also temporarily be able to feel the product beneath the skin; this generally softens over the following weeks.

    Unlike traditional HA filler, RADIESSE® is made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and may also be used as part of a treatment plan designed to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen over time. Results and recovery vary depending on the area and technique used.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity promptly for increasing or unusual pain, pale/white skin, gray or dusky discoloration, mottling, cool skin, blistering, worsening swelling, signs of infection, or a persistent/new lump or nodule. Rarely, filler entering a blood vessel can compromise circulation and requires immediate evaluation.

REGENERATIVE

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive well hydrated and eat a normal meal beforehand since your blood will be drawn for treatment.
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.

    • Be gentle with skincare until redness and sensitivity have settled.
    • If your PRP was combined with microneedling, follow the Microneedling Aftercare instructions as well.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    PRP is prepared from your own blood and concentrated before being placed back into the treatment area. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or temporary sensitivity can occur following treatment. Most clients can return to normal daily activities shortly afterward.

    Unlike traditional filler, PRP results are gradual because the treatment is intended to support your body’s regenerative processes rather than provide immediate volume correction.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you develop severe or increasing pain, significant swelling, worsening redness or warmth, drainage, fever, or another reaction that concerns you.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive well hydrated and eat a normal meal beforehand since your blood will be drawn for treatment.
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.

    • A cool compress may be applied gently if you experience swelling or tenderness.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    PRF is prepared from your own blood and uses a fibrin-rich platelet concentrate as part of a regenerative treatment. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or temporary unevenness can occur around injection sites. Clinical studies of injectable PRF for facial rejuvenation have generally reported mild, temporary reactions rather than serious complications.

    Results are gradual rather than immediate. Current evidence suggests PRF/PRP treatments may improve aspects of skin quality such as elasticity and skin thickness, although results vary and research continues to evolve.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience severe or increasing pain, rapidly worsening swelling, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, fever, persistent discoloration, or any reaction that concerns you.

    If PRF was combined with another procedure such as microneedling, follow the aftercare instructions for that treatment as well.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive well hydrated and eat a normal meal beforehand since your blood will be drawn for treatment.
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, blood thinners, recent illness, infections, or previous injectable treatments.

    • Keep injection sites clean and apply skincare or makeup gently.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, excessive heat, and significant sun exposure for approximately 24 hours.
    • A cool compress may be applied gently for swelling or tenderness.
    • If treated under the eyes, avoid pressing or repeatedly manipulating the area while swelling is present.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    PRF EZ Gel is created from components of your own blood and is used to provide temporary volume while supporting regenerative changes in the treated tissue. PRF-based facial treatments have been associated with temporary redness, swelling, and bruising following injection.

    Swelling may be more noticeable around the under-eye area, and the two sides may temporarily look uneven. Mild tenderness, firmness, bruising, or small areas of fullness can occur during the healing period. PRF preparation techniques vary, so recovery and results can differ between patients and treatment areas.

    Results are generally gradual rather than identical to traditional dermal filler. Research on PRF for facial rejuvenation suggests potential improvement in skin thickness and elasticity, although outcomes vary and the evidence continues to evolve.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience severe or increasing pain, rapidly worsening swelling, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, fever, persistent or worsening discoloration, or a lump/area of firmness that is not improving or is becoming more noticeable.

    Seek prompt medical evaluation for any sudden vision changes, significant eye pain, or other severe or rapidly developing symptoms.

    General guidance only. Because PRF EZ Gel preparation and treatment technique can vary, always follow the individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive well hydrated and eat a normal meal beforehand, since your blood will be drawn for treatment.
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, blood thinners, allergies, recent illness, infection, and any previous treatment or injury involving the joint.

    • Take it easy the remainder of the day and avoid strenuous exercise or heavy activity involving the treated joint.
    • Mild movement is generally okay, but gradually return to exercise according to your provider’s instructions.
    • Keep the injection site clean and avoid soaking it in a bath, pool, or hot tub immediately afterward.
    • Follow your provider’s instructions regarding pain medication and anti-inflammatory medications after PRP.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Temporary soreness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising around the injection site can occur. PRP is prepared from your own blood and injected into the targeted joint or surrounding tissue. Improvement is not immediate—for musculoskeletal injections, benefits may become noticeable over several weeks.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity for severe or progressively worsening pain, significant swelling, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, excessive bleeding or bruising, fever, numbness, weakness, or difficulty using the treated limb. Infection, bleeding, tissue injury, and nerve injury are uncommon but recognized risks of PRP injections.

    Musculoskeletal PRP is considered investigational and is not FDA-approved specifically for musculoskeletal use. Results vary, and treatment should be performed as part of an individualized clinical plan. Follow all instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

    3. Choose a subcutaneous injection site: abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, depending on the medication and device you were prescribed. Semaglutide and tirzepatide products are administered subcutaneously in these areas.

    4. Rotate injection sites each time. Do not repeatedly inject into the exact same spot. Tirzepatide labeling specifically instructs patients to rotate sites with each dose.

    5. Clean the site with an alcohol pad and allow it to dry.

    6. Administer the medication under the skin—not into the muscle or a vein—using the technique demonstrated by your practitioner and the instructions supplied with your medication.

    7. Dispose of the used needle or syringe immediately in a sharps container. Do not place loose needles in household trash.

    WHEN TO TAKE IT
    For once-weekly GLP-1/GIP medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, take your injection on your scheduled day each week. These products can generally be administered at any time of day, with or without food.

    If you miss a dose, do not automatically double your next dose. Missed-dose instructions differ by medication, so follow the directions supplied with your prescription or contact Ivanity for guidance.

    AFTER YOUR INJECTION
    • A small amount of redness, tenderness, itching, or bruising at the injection site can occur.
    • Stay hydrated and pay attention to how you are tolerating your medication, especially after starting treatment or increasing your dose.
    • Smaller meals may be easier to tolerate if you develop nausea or early fullness.
    • Keep track of significant side effects and discuss them with your practitioner before your next dose increase.

    IMPORTANT ABOUT YOUR DOSE
    Your prescription may be supplied in a pen, single-dose vial, or multidose vial, and concentrations can vary. Never use an online conversion chart or another patient’s syringe-unit instructions to determine your dose.

    Your medication label and individualized dosing instructions from Ivanity always take priority.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience persistent nausea or vomiting, significant diarrhea or constipation, difficulty staying hydrated, worsening abdominal discomfort, or side effects that prevent you from eating or drinking normally.

    Seek prompt medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain, especially pain that radiates to the back, or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

    General education only. Your prescribed medication, dose, preparation, storage, and administration instructions may differ depending on the medication and dispensing pharmacy.

  • HOW TO TAKE IT
    • Tesamorelin is administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically once daily when prescribed according to FDA-approved tesamorelin labeling.
    • Inject into the fatty tissue of the abdomen, rotating to a different area each day.
    • Avoid injecting directly into the belly button, scars, bruises, irritated skin, or the exact same spot repeatedly.
    • Try to take your injection consistently according to the schedule provided by your practitioner.
    • Your exact dose and syringe-unit amount are specific to your prescription. Never use another patient's dosing instructions.

    HOW TO SELF-ADMINISTER

    1. Wash your hands and gather your medication, syringe, alcohol pad, and sharps container.

    2. Check your prescription label and confirm your prescribed dose.

    3. Select a clean area of the abdomen and rotate your injection site from the previous day.

    4. Clean the skin with alcohol and allow it to dry.

    5. Administer the medication under the skin using the technique demonstrated by your Ivanity practitioner.

    6. Dispose of the used needle and syringe immediately in an appropriate sharps container.

    MIXING & STORAGE
    Tesamorelin is available in different formulations, and concentrations, reconstitution instructions, doses, and storage requirements are not interchangeable. FDA-approved EGRIFTA WR and EGRIFTA SV, for example, have different preparation instructions.

    Always follow the instructions on your pharmacy label and the directions provided by Ivanity. Do not use an online mixing chart or instructions intended for a different tesamorelin product.

    BEFORE YOU START
    • Tell your provider if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, have a history of cancer, pituitary disease or surgery, diabetes/elevated blood sugar, or significant new medical concerns.
    • Tesamorelin can increase IGF-1 and may affect blood sugar, so laboratory monitoring may be recommended during treatment.
    • Do not change your dose without speaking with your practitioner.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Mild redness, itching, tenderness, irritation, or bruising at the injection site can occur. Some patients may experience fluid retention, joint or muscle discomfort, swelling, or numbness/tingling of the hands.

    Changes occur gradually, so consistency and appropriate follow-up are important.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience persistent swelling, significant joint discomfort, numbness or tingling, recurring injection-site reactions, unusual changes in blood sugar, or side effects that are worsening instead of improving.

    Stop treatment and seek prompt medical attention for widespread hives or rash, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or another suspected serious allergic reaction.

    IMPORTANT
    FDA-approved tesamorelin is indicated for reducing excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophyand is not FDA-approved for general weight-loss management. If tesamorelin is prescribed for another purpose, your individualized treatment plan and pharmacy instructions should be followed.

    General education only. Always follow the prescription, preparation, storage, and administration instructions provided specifically for you by your Ivanity practitioner and dispensing pharmacy.

  • HOW TO TAKE IT
    • Take your peptide exactly as prescribed on your medication label and individualized treatment plan.
    • Your dose, frequency, route, concentration, and treatment length may vary depending on the specific peptide prescribed.
    • Do not increase your dose, take extra doses, or use another patient’s instructions.
    • If your peptide is injectable, administer it only by the route and in the locations demonstrated by your Ivanity practitioner.

    HOW TO SELF-ADMINISTER — INJECTABLE PEPTIDES

    1. Wash your hands and gather your medication, syringe/needle, alcohol pad, and sharps container.

    2. Check the medication label and confirm your prescribed dose.

    3. Select the injection site instructed for your specific medication and rotate sites when appropriate.

    4. Clean the skin with alcohol and allow it to dry.

    5. Administer the medication using the technique demonstrated by your practitioner.

    6. Place the used needle and syringe directly into a sharps container. The FDA recommends disposing of used sharps immediately rather than placing loose needles in household trash or recycling.

    MIXING & STORAGE
    Peptide products can differ significantly in concentration, preparation, stability, and storage requirements. Never assume that mixing or refrigeration instructions from another peptide—or another patient’s vial—apply to yours.

    Follow the instructions from your dispensing pharmacy and Ivanity for your exact prescription.

    If your medication is compounded, remember that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, meaning the FDA does not review each compounded product for safety, effectiveness, or quality before it is dispensed.

    BEFORE YOU START
    • Tell your provider about prescription medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, significant medical conditions, and any new or worsening symptoms.
    • Make sure your practitioner knows about any other peptides, hormones, weight-management medications, or wellness medications you currently use.
    • Do not combine peptide products or change your treatment schedule unless instructed by your prescriber.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    What you experience will depend on the specific peptide prescribed. Injectable therapies may cause temporary redness, tenderness, itching, bruising, or irritation at the injection site.

    Because different peptides have different intended uses and safety profiles, there is no single expected response or timeline that applies to every peptide treatment.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience persistent or worsening injection-site redness, warmth, swelling, drainage, significant pain, unexpected or persistent side effects, or symptoms that begin after starting or changing your treatment.

    Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, widespread hives, fainting, or other symptoms of a severe allergic reaction.

    IMPORTANT
    Some peptide products offered through compounding pharmacies are not components of FDA-approved medications, and the evidence and regulatory status can differ significantly between individual peptides. Your treatment should therefore be based on your specific prescription and individualized clinical plan, rather than generalized online peptide protocols.

    General education only. Always follow the dosing, preparation, storage, and administration instructions provided specifically for you by your Ivanity practitioner and dispensing pharmacy.

  • HOW IT’S GIVEN
    • NAD+ may be administered by injection or IV infusion depending on your individual treatment plan and the product prescribed or supplied by your pharmacy.
    • If your NAD+ is administered in-office, your practitioner will determine the route, dose, and rate appropriate for your treatment.
    • If you are prescribed NAD+ for home use, follow the exact route, dose, frequency, and syringe amount printed on your prescription label.
    • Do not use another patient’s dosing instructions or change your dose without speaking with your practitioner.

    BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and significant medical conditions.
    • Let us know if you are feeling acutely ill or have had a previous reaction to an injectable or IV wellness treatment.
    • Eat and hydrate normally before treatment unless your practitioner gives you different instructions.

    IF SELF-ADMINISTERING AT HOME

    1. Wash your hands and gather your medication, prescribed syringe/needle, alcohol pad, and sharps container.

    2. Confirm the medication, concentration, and your prescribed dose on the pharmacy label.

    3. Administer NAD+ only by the route and technique specifically prescribed and demonstrated to you.

    4. Rotate injection sites when instructed and never inject into irritated, bruised, infected, or damaged skin.

    5. Dispose of used needles and syringes immediately in an appropriate sharps container.

    STORAGE & PREPARATION
    Compounded NAD+ products can vary in concentration, preparation, storage requirements, and beyond-use date. Always follow the instructions from your dispensing pharmacy and Ivanity for your exact product.

    Do not use medication that appears unexpectedly cloudy, discolored, contains particles, has been stored incorrectly, or is past the pharmacy’s beyond-use date. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, meaning the FDA does not review each compounded product for safety, effectiveness, or quality before it is dispensed.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Your experience may vary depending on the route, dose, formulation, and rate of administration. Mild injection-site tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur with injectable treatment.

    FDA has received reports of reactions following compounded injectable NAD+, including severe chills, shaking, vomiting, and fatigue. The agency has specifically warned sterile compounders about contamination and endotoxin risks when inappropriate NAD+ ingredients are used to prepare injectable products.

    Because of these concerns, injectable NAD+ should come from an appropriate licensed dispensing source and be used exactly as prescribed.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you develop persistent nausea, significant injection-site redness or swelling, worsening pain, unusual fatigue, or another reaction following treatment.

    Seek prompt medical attention for severe shaking or chills, repeated vomiting, difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, fainting, high fever, or symptoms that are severe or rapidly worsening.

    IMPORTANT
    NAD+ wellness therapy should not be presented as an FDA-approved treatment for anti-aging, energy enhancement, weight loss, or treatment of a specific disease. If your NAD+ is compounded, its use and dosing should be based on your individualized prescription and clinical plan.

    General education only. Always follow the individualized dosing, administration, preparation, and storage instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner and dispensing pharmacy.

  • HOW IT’S GIVEN
    • Vitamin B12 injections may be administered intramuscularly (into the muscle) or subcutaneously (under the skin)depending on the specific product and prescription. Cyanocobalamin injection labeling allows both IM and subcutaneous administration.
    • Your dose, frequency, and route are individualized. Follow the instructions on your prescription or those provided by your Ivanity practitioner.
    • Do not take extra injections or increase your frequency unless instructed.

    IF SELF-ADMINISTERING AT HOME

    1. Wash your hands and gather your medication, prescribed syringe/needle, alcohol pad, and sharps container.

    2. Confirm the medication, concentration, dose, and route on your prescription label.

    3. Clean the instructed injection site with alcohol and allow it to dry.

    4. Administer the injection using the specific IM or subcutaneous technique demonstrated by your practitioner.

    5. Rotate injection sites when instructed and avoid bruised, irritated, infected, or damaged skin.

    6. Place the used needle and syringe directly into a sharps container after use. The FDA recommends disposing of sharps immediately after use and keeping sharps containers away from children and pets.

    BEFORE YOUR INJECTION
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, kidney disease, and significant medical conditions.
    • Let us know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, cobalt, or an injectable vitamin product.
    • Do not use medication that is expired or appears different from what your pharmacy instructed you to expect.

    STORAGE
    • Follow the storage instructions provided with your exact medication.
    • Cyanocobalamin is sensitive to light, so keep it stored according to the manufacturer or pharmacy directions and in its original packaging when appropriate.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Mild tenderness, redness, itching, or bruising may occur at the injection site.

    If B12 is being used to correct a true deficiency, improvement depends on the cause and severity of the deficiency and may occur gradually. Your provider may recommend laboratory monitoring or an ongoing dosing schedule based on your individual needs.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience persistent or worsening injection-site redness, swelling, significant pain, drainage, rash, or another unexpected reaction.

    Seek immediate medical attention for difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, widespread hives, fainting, or other symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

    IMPORTANT
    Vitamin B12 injections should be used according to an individualized treatment plan. The appropriate dose and frequency depend on why B12 is being administered, so another patient’s schedule should never be used as your own.

    General education only. Always follow the dose, route, frequency, and administration instructions provided specifically for you by your Ivanity practitioner and dispensing pharmacy.

  • HOW IT’S GIVEN
    • Vitamin C may be administered as part of an individualized injectable or IV treatment plan depending on the specific formulation prescribed or supplied.
    • FDA-approved ascorbic acid injection is administered intravenously after dilution and is not intended to be injected undiluted.
    • Your dose, route, and frequency depend on the exact product and clinical reason for treatment.
    • Do not use another patient’s dosing or administration instructions.

    BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, kidney disease, kidney stones, or significant medical conditions.
    • High-dose or prolonged injectable vitamin C can increase urinary oxalate and has been associated with oxalate kidney injury and kidney stones, particularly in susceptible patients.
    • Let your provider know if you have G6PD deficiency, because hemolysis has been reported with high-dose ascorbic acid.
    • Arrive normally hydrated unless your practitioner gives you different instructions.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Mild tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur around an injection or IV site.
    • Stay hydrated and resume normal activities as tolerated unless your provider gives you additional instructions.
    • Do not repeat or increase treatment frequency without following your individualized treatment plan.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Your experience will depend on the dose, formulation, and route of administration. Vitamin C injection should not be expected to provide an immediate cosmetic or energy effect for every patient.

    The FDA-approved injectable formulation is indicated for short-term treatment of scurvy when oral vitamin C cannot be adequately used, so other wellness uses may involve different or compounded treatment plans.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience persistent nausea, significant injection-site pain or swelling, increasing redness or warmth, unusual weakness, dark urine, decreased urination, significant back or flank pain, or another unexpected reaction.

    Seek immediate medical attention for difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, fainting, widespread hives, or other symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

    IMPORTANT
    Vitamin C products can differ in strength, route, preparation, and storage requirements. Always follow the instructions for the exact product administered or dispensed to you.

    General education only. Follow the individualized dose, route, administration, and aftercare instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Eat a normal meal and arrive well hydrated unless your provider gives you different instructions.
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, kidney or heart conditions, and any previous reactions to IV medications or vitamins.
    • Let us know if you are currently ill, have a fever, or have an infection or irritation near a potential IV site.
    • Your IV ingredients are selected according to your individual treatment plan.

    DURING & AFTER YOUR IV
    • A small IV catheter is placed into a vein, typically in the arm or hand, and your prescribed fluids and/or ingredients are infused gradually.
    • Tell your practitioner immediately if you feel burning, significant pain, tightness, swelling, or leaking around the IV site. Peripheral IV complications can include infiltration or inflammation of the vein.
    • Once the IV is removed, gentle pressure and a small bandage may be applied.
    • Keep the area clean and avoid aggressively rubbing the insertion site for the remainder of the day.
    • Mild bruising or tenderness at the IV site can occur.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Your experience will depend on the fluids and ingredients included in your individualized IV. Some clients may feel no immediate difference, while others may notice changes gradually after treatment.

    IV wellness therapy should not be expected to diagnose, cure, or prevent a medical condition unless a specific FDA-approved medication is being administered for an approved indication.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if the IV site develops increasing pain, redness, warmth, swelling, drainage, or significant tendernessafter treatment. These can be signs of irritation, phlebitis, infiltration, or infection and should be evaluated if they worsen.

    Seek prompt medical attention for difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, widespread hives, fainting, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or another severe or rapidly developing reaction.

    IMPORTANT
    Some custom IV preparations involve compounded sterile products. Sterile medications must be prepared and handled appropriately because contamination of compounded IV products can cause serious infections or other adverse reactions.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner based on the specific IV treatment you received.

WELLNESS

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Avoid significant sun exposure or tanning before your appointment.
    • Tell your provider about medications, active acne or infection, cold sores, recent cosmetic procedures, pregnancy/breastfeeding, or a history of abnormal scarring. Microneedling may not be appropriate for certain skin or medical conditions.
    • Do not stop prescribed medications unless instructed by the clinician who prescribed them.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Keep your skincare simple and gentle while the skin is healing.
    • Avoid scrubs, retinoids, glycolic acid, strong acids, alcohol-containing products, and other potentially irritating active ingredients until your skin has recovered.
    • Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling flaking skin.
    • Minimize direct sun exposure and follow your provider’s instructions for sun protection.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, pools, and excessive heat for approximately 24–48 hours.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Redness, dryness, tightness, mild swelling, sensitivity, itching, peeling, pinpoint bleeding, or light crusting can occur after microneedling. These effects generally improve over the following several days, although some reactions can last longer depending on treatment depth and individual skin response.

    Your skin may temporarily feel more sensitive to skincare products after treatment. Improvement develops gradually, and a series of treatments may be recommended depending on your goals.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience increasing pain, worsening redness or swelling, significant warmth, drainage, blistering, signs of infection, unusual darkening or lightening of the skin, or a reaction that is getting worse rather than better.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning before your appointment.
    • Let your provider know if you have an active breakout, cold sore, open wound, rash, or irritated skin, as treatment may need to be postponed. Dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
    • Tell us about prescription retinoids or other treatments that may make your skin more sensitive.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer while your skin feels sensitive.
    • Avoid retinoids, scrubs, exfoliating acids, and other irritating active products for the next 2–3 days, or until your skin feels completely normal.
    • Avoid picking, scratching, or additional exfoliation.
    • Protect your fresh skin from direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
    • Makeup may be applied gently once your skin feels comfortable.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Your skin may feel extra smooth, soft, or slightly sensitive immediately afterward. Mild redness or irritation can occur but is generally temporary. Dermaplaning removes superficial dead skin and fine facial hair; it does not cause facial hair to grow back thicker or darker.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you develop increasing pain, significant swelling, worsening redness or warmth, drainage, blistering, persistent irritation, or signs of infection.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning before your appointment.
    • Avoid procedures or skincare products that significantly increase skin sensitivity before your peel; your provider will advise you when to pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, or other active products. SkinMedica specifically recommends avoiding sensitivity-increasing products/procedures before an Illuminize Peel®.
    • Tell your provider about medications, prescription skincare, allergies, recent procedures, pregnancy/breastfeeding, cold sores, or active irritation.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Keep your routine simple and gentle while your skin settles.
    • Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, or other irritating active products until your skin feels completely normal.
    • Do not pick, scrub, or intentionally peel the skin.
    • Be especially diligent with sun protection. Limit direct sun exposure for at least one week and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+.
    • Avoid excessive heat or anything that significantly irritates your skin immediately following treatment.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Illuminize® is SkinMedica’s gentlest professional peel and is designed for minimal downtime. Visible peeling is generally not expected, although mild redness, temporary discoloration, dryness, or sensitivity can occur.

    Your skin may appear brighter and smoother after treatment, with results becoming more noticeable with a series of treatments.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience significant or worsening pain, persistent swelling, blistering, excessive peeling or crusting, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, or unusual darkening or lightening of the skin.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Avoid retinoids, retinol, glycolic/salicylic acids, scrubs, and other potentially irritating active products for approximately 3 days before treatment unless your provider gives you different instructions.
    • Avoid waxing, depilatory creams, or other aggressive hair-removal treatments on the area immediately before your peel.
    • Tell your provider about prescription skincare, medications, allergies, recent procedures, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and any history of cold sores.
    • Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure before your appointment.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Follow your provider’s instructions for when to first wash your face, as the peel may need to remain on the skin for several hours.
    • Once instructed to wash, use a gentle cleanser, your hands only, and lukewarm water—no scrubs, brushes, or washcloths while peeling.
    • Moisturize frequently and do not pick, pull, or peel loose skin.
    • Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and other irritating active products until peeling has completely finished.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, pools, and excessive heat while actively peeling.
    • Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Your skin may initially feel tight, warm, sensitive, or look slightly red. Peeling commonly begins approximately 48–72 hours after treatment and may continue for about 2–5 days.

    Peeling can range from mild flaking to more noticeable shedding. More peeling does not necessarily mean a better result, so allow your skin to shed naturally without picking.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience moderate-to-severe or worsening swelling, significant burning or pain, blistering, persistent intense redness, a rash, drainage, or itching that does not improve.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Avoid waxing, depilatory creams, electrolysis, or laser hair removal on the treatment area for approximately 1 week beforehand.
    • Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and other potentially irritating exfoliants about 3 days before treatment, unless your provider gives you different instructions.
    • Tell your provider about prescription skincare, medications, allergies, recent cosmetic procedures, pregnancy/breastfeeding, active irritation, sunburn, or a history of cold sores before treatment.
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Wait until bedtime before washing your face unless your provider specifically tells you otherwise.
    • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Avoid scrubbing, washcloths, cleansing brushes, or rubbing the skin while peeling.
    • Do not pick, pull, or peel loose skin. Let it shed naturally to reduce the risk of irritation, discoloration, and scarring.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise beginning the day of treatment and while your skin is actively peeling.
    • Avoid direct sunlight for at least 1 week and use daily sunscreen.
    • Resume retinol, AHAs, and other strong active products only after peeling is completely finished.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Your skin may initially feel tight, red, sensitive, or slightly tacky. Peeling generally begins about 48–72 hours after treatment and may continue for approximately 2–5 days.

    Rejuvenize is intended to create more noticeable exfoliation than lighter SkinMedica peels, so allow your skin time to heal and avoid judging results while peeling is still occurring.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience moderate-to-severe or worsening swelling, burning, redness, persistent itching, a rash-like reaction, or significant pain.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, blood thinners, allergies, active acne, recent procedures, and any history of abnormal scarring or pigmentation.
    • Treatment may need to be postponed if you have an active skin infection, open wound, or significant inflammation in the treatment area.
    • Do not stop prescribed medications unless instructed by the clinician who prescribed them.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Keep the treatment area clean and avoid rubbing, picking, or aggressively massaging it unless specifically instructed by your provider.
    • A wrapped cold compress may be used gently during the first day for swelling or discomfort.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas, and steam rooms while significant swelling or bruising is present.
    • Use gentle skincare and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen while the area heals.
    • If your subcision was combined with filler, PRP/PRF, microneedling, or another treatment, follow the aftercare instructions for that treatment as well.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Subcision works by releasing the fibrous bands that tether depressed scars beneath the skin. Bruising, swelling, tenderness, temporary discoloration, and areas of firmness or small lumps can occur afterward. These are among the most commonly reported effects of subcision and generally improve as healing progresses.

    Improvement is gradual, as healing and new connective-tissue formation occur beneath the treated scars. More than one treatment may be recommended depending on the type and severity of scarring.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience severe or increasing pain, rapidly worsening swelling, significant warmth or redness, drainage, fever, skin breakdown, persistent or worsening discoloration, or a lump that is becoming increasingly painful or enlarged. Infection, hematoma, dyspigmentation, and subcutaneous lumps are recognized but uncommon complications of subcision.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with a clean, dry scalp when possible and avoid heavy oils or styling products.
    • Tell your provider about medications, allergies, recent illness, scalp infections, or other hair-loss treatments you are using.
    • Let us know if you have diabetes or another condition that may be affected by corticosteroid treatment.
    • Treatment may need to be postponed if there is an active infection, open wound, or significant irritation in the treatment area.
    • Do not stop prescribed medications unless instructed by the clinician who prescribed them.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Avoid scratching, rubbing, or aggressively massaging the treated areas for the remainder of the day.
    • Keep the scalp clean and be gentle when washing or styling your hair.
    • Mild tenderness can be managed conservatively unless your provider gives you different instructions.
    • Resume your normal hair-care routine as the scalp becomes comfortable.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Small corticosteroid injections may be used for certain inflammatory or autoimmune scalp conditions, including alopecia areata. When corticosteroid injections are effective for alopecia areata, hair regrowth is gradual and may begin within approximately 3 months after the first treatment.

    Temporary tenderness, redness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding may occur at injection sites. Intralesional corticosteroids can also cause localized skin thinning, a small depression in the skin, or changes in pigmentation at the injection site.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience significant or worsening pain, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, fever, persistent swelling, signs of infection, or a noticeable indentation or skin change that concerns you.

    Results depend heavily on the cause of hair loss, and steroid injections are not appropriate for every type of thinning or shedding.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
    • Arrive with clean skin when possible.
    • Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, previous injectable treatments, recent procedures, and any history of cold sores or abnormal scarring.
    • Let us know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, feeling unwell, or have an active infection, breakout, rash, or irritation in the treatment area.
    • Do not stop prescribed medications unless instructed by the clinician who prescribed them.

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying firm pressure to the treated area unless specifically instructed.
    • Keep skincare gentle and simple while redness or sensitivity is present.
    • Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas, and steam rooms for approximately 24 hours.
    • Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and other irritating products until the skin feels normal.
    • If your skin booster was combined with microneedling, follow the Microneedling Aftercare instructions as well. The FDA notes that microneedled skin may temporarily be more sensitive to sun and skincare products.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Depending on the treatment method, temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, small injection-site bumps, tightness, or sensitivity may occur. If microneedling was performed, temporary redness, peeling, itching, or tightness can also occur.

    Skin-quality treatments generally develop gradually rather than creating an immediate dramatic change. For example, FDA-approved intradermal HA skin booster SKINVIVE® is indicated to improve cheek skin smoothness and, as of 2026, neck appearance in adults over 21.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience severe or increasing pain, rapidly worsening swelling, increasing redness or warmth, drainage, fever, blistering, persistent discoloration, or another reaction that is worsening rather than improving.

    Because the term skin booster can refer to different products and treatment techniques, your product-specific and individualized aftercare instructions always take priority.

    General guidance only. Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.

    • Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before your appointment.
    • Tell your provider about prescription skincare, retinoids, medications, allergies, recent cosmetic procedures, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and any history of cold sores.
    • Your provider may ask you to temporarily pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, or other irritating products before treatment depending on the peel being performed. (aad.org)

    AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
    • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer while your skin heals.
    • Do not scrub, scratch, pick, or pull peeling skin. Rubbing or scratching treated skin can increase the risk of irritation and infection. (aad.org)
    • Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and other irritating active products until peeling and sensitivity have resolved.
    • Protect your skin carefully from the sun and use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen once your provider advises you to resume it. Sun protection is an important part of chemical-peel recovery. (aad.org)
    • Follow your provider’s instructions regarding when to wash your face, since this can vary depending on the specific peel used.

    WHAT TO EXPECT
    Recovery varies depending on the strength and depth of your peel. A light peel may cause redness, dryness, tightness, or mild flaking for several days, while stronger peels can produce more noticeable peeling, swelling, or crusting and require a longer healing period.

    Do not worry if you do not peel dramatically. The amount of visible shedding varies between treatments and individuals and is not the only indicator of treatment effectiveness.

    CONTACT US IF
    Contact Ivanity if you experience significant or worsening pain, intense burning, excessive swelling, blistering, drainage, persistent severe redness, signs of infection, or unexpected darkening or lightening of the skin. The American Academy of Dermatology also recommends contacting the treating clinician if the skin burns, itches, or swells significantly during recovery.

    General guidance only. Chemical-peel aftercare varies by product and treatment depth, so always follow the individualized instructions provided by your Ivanity practitioner.
