Is it safe to take vitamins or supplement before dermal filler injections?
Depending on what vitamins and supplements you’re taking. It is advisable to consult with experienced medical practitioners to discuss any supplements you are taking, ensuring that none are contraindicated for your treatment. ‘General’ supplements, such as multi-vitamins, aren’t necessarily contraindicated to treatment. However, some supplements such as fish oil, pain relief medications containing Ibuprofen and green tea thin the blood. This significantly increases your risk of bleeding and bruising. Please keep this in mind, especially if you’re having filler treatments If you are not under the care of a medical practitioner for blood-thinning medications, it is advisable to discontinue these supplements for 1-2 weeks prior to your injections. If there is too much blood in the tissue from where you’ve bled from an injection, the rest of the dermal filler treatment may not be able to be performed, as the area cannot be injected again.
