After a small procedure, how should I care for my skin? Seeking advice from my fellow beauty enthusiasts!

Hi everyone, I'm Tao. I just had a small cosmetic procedure done and I'm currently in the recovery period. To be honest, I'm a bit unsure about how to properly care for myself afterward, and there's so much information online that I don't know what's reliable.

Right now, I'm mainly experiencing some swelling and bruising. The doctor gave me basic instructions, but I'd love to hear about everyone's actual experiences. Are there any sisters out there willing to share how you cared for yourselves after your procedures? For example, how long did you use cold compresses, when could you start wearing makeup, and what should I be mindful of in daily life? I'm especially curious if there are any everyday tips that can help with recovery.

Also, how long does it usually take for swelling and bruising to subside? I'm a bit anxious right now, worried it might affect my work and daily life. It would be great if anyone has gone through a similar situation and could offer some reassurance, haha. Thanks, everyone!
