Avoid alcohol 24 hours before procedure. 7 days before procedure, do not take any aspirin or any medication Salicylic Acid, any anticoagulants, any vitamins, aloe, ginseng or any nutritional supplements. Continue taking medication for blood pressure, diabetes or any other medication prescribed. White hair should get dyed before the procedure.
