What can I do to minimize the risk of bruising?
Certain medicines thin the blood, which is to say they promote bruising. Aspirin, Motrin, its generic form ibuprofen, and virtually all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents increase the risk of bruising. Almost anything herbal may contain natural products that can increase the risk of bruising. Red wine can do the same. Normally these are healthy for us. However, to minimize the risk of having a bruise, it is advisable to avoid these types of products for about 10 days before a treatment. If you are not sure if a product you use on a regular basis promotes bruising, call the office and we can address this issue for you.
