Thermography is pain free, radiation free and only has some special instructions before you get scanned.
Below are some of the instructions before your imaging:
📍No breast surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatments 3 months prior to your imaging.
📍 No breast biopsy for one month prior.
📍Lactation: Imaging is recommended if there is a problem or concern. However, a baseline is not recommended for at least 3 months after the last active breastfeeding.
24 hours prior to your appointment:
✨Avoid exercise or heavy physical activity.
✨No massage or lymph treatments.
✨No chiropractic adjustments.
✨No saunas, steam baths or hot tubs.
✨No hot or cold packs.
Day of Exam:
📆Avoid heavy makeup. Oil based products on the body will affect accurate detection by the camera.
📆No hot shower within 4 hours prior to imaging.
📆Avoid oily deodorants or creams on the skin, especially essential oils.
📆No heat lamps or sunburn - you will have to reschedule.
📆 Do not shave the area to be imaged.
📆For head imaging, do not eat for at least 2 hours prior.
📆No gum chewing.
📆Please run your A/C or heater but avoid A/C or heater in the car blowing directly on you.
📆You will be asked to remove all jewelry in the area to be imaged. If you cannot remove certain jewelry pieces such as nose or belly rings, just let us know so we can note it.
➡Please note the areas that are being imaged will be exposed/unclothed. We are taking images of the heat being admitted by the skin.
