Arnica is one of the most studied herbal supplements in literature to support inflammation and bruising. It is best used starting tablets a few days prior to injection and to continue for a few days after injections. Arnica Montana specifically is indicated for temporary relief of bruising, swelling and pain associated with soft tissue injury. It is ideal for not only filler injections, but also sprains, and strains from overuse or sports injury. Arnica Montana can be purchased at many pharmacies in addition to our La Chelé Medical retail shop.
Often times, if you go to an experienced injector, there is a higher chance that you will experience minimal to no bruising.
Although there is always a risk, the more knowledge and experience an injector has, the less likely you will be to experience extreme bruising. With a cannula technique, our injectors will need less entry points to fill an area, meaning that there may be a reduction in bruising as well.
