Hi everyone! I just had a minor procedure yesterday and am now in the recovery phase. There's some expected swelling and bruising, but I'd love to hear from your experiences — what have you done to speed up the healing process and reduce swelling?
I've tried cold compresses a few times, but I'm still unsure about the best daily routine. How many days does it usually take for the swelling to start subsiding? And do you have any recommendations for skincare routines or activities to avoid during recovery? I'm worried about doing something that might make things worse.
If anyone has been through a similar experience, please share your daily routine during recovery! Were there any habits or routines that made a significant difference? Thanks in advance, and wishing everyone a speedy recovery! 🙏

Hi! I'm curious, have you been avoiding certain skincare products, or have you just stuck to your usual routine? Because I've been there too and was too scared to wash my face haha 😅
I empathize. I tried cold water too at first, but found that elevating my head while sleeping really helped in the first few days. 😊
Hey! Did you end up avoiding any specific skincare products or activities that made the swelling worse? I'm trying to figure out what's actually safe to do vs. what people just say to be cautious 😅
