We recommended patients use a sinus rinse, take an antihistamine, use a 12-hour nasal decongestant the morning of the appointment. This ensures the nose is as uncongested as possible, to allow for the medication to be absorbed. Just before the treatment, the nurse will ask the patient to blow their nose with tissues to clear any excess mucous. Patients should refrain from blowing their nose for at least an hour after the treatment. The appointment takes only 15 minutes and has no downtime. We schedule a review appointment at the 6-week mark. If you have severe allergies, the recommendation is to undergo a second treatment.

It is important to mention any allergic reactions to drugs or skin care products you may have experienced in the past and any other recent beauty treatments you’ve had. These factors affect how your body responds and how the treatment recovers. If you have any concerns, a consultation is when you ask questions about your treatment.
