Hello everyone, I just finished a minor procedure here and am now in the recovery phase. My face is a bit swollen and has some small bruises, which they said is normal for the first few days. But I'm curious how everyone here deals with swelling and bruising during recovery?

I've received basic instructions from the clinic, but I'd love to hear from your real-life experiences. Does anyone have tips on cold compresses or how to care for the treated area? How long does it usually take for the swelling to subside? I'm a little worried because this is my first time trying a procedure like this.

I'd also like to know if anyone has a favorite recovery skincare routine. I'm worried about what products are safe to use. I just checked my cupboard and I'm unsure which ones are okay to use right now. Thank you so much if anyone is willing to share their experiences! 💕
