A few important reminders before your thermography appointment: Please take a moment to review and follow the preparation guidelines below prior to your visit.

Avoid the following:

• Therapies (chiro/acupuncture/message)

• Heavy exercise, sauna, cold plunge

• Hot shower (4hrs prior)

• Deodorant/lotion/powder

• Spicy foods

• Hot/frozen beverages (2hrs prior)

• Gum-chewing

• Tight-fitting clothing

• No seat warmers or coolers

• Prolonged sun exposure w/in 5 days

Breast Imaging Guidelines:

Breast thermography is not recommended after the first trimester of pregnancy. If breastfeeding, please wait at least 3 months after you have stopped nursing before scheduling a breast thermography appointment. This allows time for the milk ducts to return to their baseline state, as active milk ducts can produce increased warmth that may resemble vascular patterns on thermal imaging.
