Taking Arnica Montana one day before the procedure and after can help reduce swelling and bruising.

Avoid salty foods before and after treatment, as sodium can worsen swelling.

You may feel bumps beneath the surface of the skin before the filler integrates with the underlying tissue. This is completely normal and will subside after 2-3 weeks.

To limit bruising and swelling, gently apply ice to the area every 10-15 minutes for 1-2 hours post treatment.
