Hi there and thanks for your question. I recommend stopping all of your supplements, as well as any advil, motrin, aspirin before getting any injections to avoid bruising.  I suggest you speak to your injector beforehand for any additional instructions.  Best of luck!

Hello T.  If you are taking Curcumin prior to Radiesse injections you may increase your risk of bruising.  We do not believe that taking any supplement will aid in developing more Collagen with Radiesse, rather many different supplements, including Curcumin have blood thinning properties and can cause more pronounced bruising than if you avoid these supplements 7 days prior to injections.  Best of luck.

I recommend following up with your injector abou their recommendations regarding supplements, but the supplement you mentioned should not negatively impact your results. Radiesse develops collagen and helps the skin improve volume and texture. Radiesse results last 12-15 months.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It’s generally recommended to avoid supplements that may increase bleeding or bruising when considering Radiesse injections. This could include high doses of Vitamin E, fish oil, and gingko biloba. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your supplement regimen, as they can provide recommendations based on your health and medical history.

Hello and thank you for your question. I think it wise to stop Curamin prior to your procedure as well as, Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Aspirin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil and flaxseed Oil. All of these products impact your clotting mechanism. Stop for at least 3 days if not longer. Best of luck to you.
