Precautions Before Conscious Sedation
Fasting

Transportation
- Do not drive any vehicles on the day of your procedure.

Nail Art
- Nail polish or artificial nails can interfere with oxygen monitoring.
- Please remove nail polish or nail art from at least one finger before visiting the clinic.
Clothing
- Avoid wearing tight-sleeved clothing, as it may restrict IV placement or fluid flow.
- Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes.
Medical History & Medications
- Inform us in advance of any illnesses or medications you are taking (e.g., hormones, antidepressants, sleeping pills, aspirin).
- Sedation is determined after carefully evaluating both your physical and mental health condition.
On the Day of Your Visit
- If you are feeling unwell, treatment may not be possible. Please contact us in advance.
- In rare cases, some patients may not fall asleep due to individual differences. Please note that the treatment fee cannot be refunded in this situation.
- The procedure may need to be stopped if there is an allergic reaction to the medication or a medical emergency.
- Because of the sedation, you may not recall the procedure afterward.
Recovery
- After sedation, you will rest in the recovery room for 30–60 minutes under monitoring.
- You may only go home once your condition has been confirmed as stable.
