Patient Education

Patient safety is the absolute priority at Rani Beauty Clinic in Renton, WA. Understanding contraindications is fundamental to safe aesthetic practice.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are the most common temporary contraindications. Botox, fillers, retinoids, and most laser treatments should be deferred. HydraFacial with pregnancy-safe serums remains available.

Active skin infections at the treatment site contraindicate most procedures. Cold sores can be reactivated by trauma to the lip area. Patients with cold sore history should receive antiviral prophylaxis before treatments around the mouth.

Blood-thinning medications and supplements increase bruising risk. Aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E should be discontinued seven to fourteen days before treatment when medically safe. Never stop prescription blood thinners without your prescribing physician's approval.

Autoimmune conditions require careful evaluation. They do not automatically disqualify patients but require protocol modifications.

Active acne or rosacea flares may require postponement of certain treatments. Stabilizing active conditions first produces better outcomes.

Isotretinoin must be discontinued six to twelve months before certain treatments due to effects on wound healing.

Metal implants contraindicate certain energy-based treatments. Radiofrequency should not be used over metal implants.

Keloid scarring history is important for treatments creating controlled skin injury. Conservative test spots may be appropriate.

Thorough consultation and honest medical history review ensure every treatment at Rani Beauty Clinic is appropriate and safe.
