Purpura, the Latin word meaning purple. It relates to small hemorrhages underneath the skin due to an injury. So are you wondering how to prevent such things as a bruise? Say from a small procedure such as fillers or Botox? Or how to get rid of a bruise 24 hours after you find that one developed?
Arnica Montana is a homeopathic remedy used for 3-4 days prior to small procedures done on the face. It is safe and has been used since the 1500's. You can use this topically in a cream, tiny pills by mouth, and even in a salve. Arnica is also used to soothe muscle aches, to reduce inflammation, and applied to more superficial wounds to hasten healing.
Of course you should check with your doctor first prior to taking this homeopathic preparation.
Boiron is a very good brand if you are looking into trying this remedy for small procedures like Botox. If you are preparing yourself for plastic surgery of any kind on the face or body-try a brand called SINECCHi purchase 2 packages and start them at least one week ahead of time. It is made by Alpine Pharmaceuticals.
Another way to rid yourself of a "fresh bruise", one received within 24 hours, is to use a Pulsed Dye Laser to the site. One treatment and you will see the area begins to heal within 2-4 hours and continue to improve over the next few days. You can have this done at select laser centers where you live.
Lastly, you can eat fresh pineapple 1-2 days prior to procedures. And the day of the procedure. (1 whole pineapple in 3 days). Pineapple contains a natural anti-inflammatory called bromelain. Bromelain should not be used if undergoing surgery; it could actually increase your risk of bleeding. And you shouldn't take it along with anticoagulant medicines or antibiotics.
An ounce of prevention....
