I’ve just started prescription blood thinner, can I still get aesthetic procedures like Botox, microneedling, and injections?

Asked By:realselfrx in Torrance, California

I’m 50 years old and just diagnosed with A-fib and will have to take blood thinners indefinitely. I routinely get Botox, fillers every so often, microneedling, facials and the like. Will I still be able to get these procedures and if yes, are there certain levels of qualification that I should be seeking from aesthetic centers/practioners in my area? I’m on 5 mg of Eliquis 2x day. My Chads Vasc score is 1 for female. 5’4, 115 lbs, healthy diet, no other chads vasc risk factors.
