To all patients- as you enter this journey, there are a few pearls of wisdom I would like to provide you. My advice meant to help you along your journey.
~ Dr Ojo-Carons
All treatments carry uncertainty and risks
Intimate Wellness treatments are normally safe when performed by qualified aesthetic doctors. Nevertheless, as with any treatments, there is always a possibility of complications, including bruising and/or infection. You can reduce your risks by closely following my advice both before and after treatment.
Planning your treatments
It’s important to conduct your own research into the treatments and what they entail before your initial consultation. This way, you can prepare questions for me to ensure you receive all the advice you need. After your examination and based on your medical history, medication and overall health, we can decide which treatments are suitable for you. In your initial consultation, it’s important to discuss your expectations frankly and to listen to my opinion.
I will discuss the variables that may affect the treatments: such as your age, medical illnesses and social habits. I will describe the treatments in detail, explaining their risks and limitations. When you make the decision to proceed with treatment you will receive documentation from my assistant to help prepare you for your treatments both before and after.
Before Treatment
- Schedule and complete any pre-operative tests requested.
- For female patients, you should have a recent Pap Smear and vaginal examination by your gynecologist or primary care physician prior to treatment.
- For male patients, you should have a recent PSA and penile examination by your Urologist or primary care physician prior to treatment.
- Stop taking aspirin, anti-inflammatories, herbal medicine, diet pills, etc. (2 weeks before).
- Hair should be shaved/clipped in the treatment area the day prior to the procedure.
- The hair should not be waxed or chemically removed.
- Start taking any medication(s) prescribed by me 2 days prior to treatment
