Hey sisters, I got a small beauty procedure done in Seoul a few days ago and I'm still in the recovery phase. The swelling and bruising are a bit more pronounced than I expected, and I'm kind of worried about it.
I wanted to ask you all – how do you usually take care of things after a procedure? How long should I be doing cold compress? When can I start with heat therapy? I'm still pretty swollen right now, so I'm a bit hesitant to go out haha. Also, I heard that certain foods might make the swelling worse, but I'm not really sure what exactly, does anyone know?
And then there's the bruising – what's the best way to make it go away faster? I've seen some people say you can gently massage it, and others say you shouldn't touch it at all, so I'm a bit confused right now. If any of you have experience or advice, I'd be so grateful! Is there anything special I need to watch out for during the recovery process?
Looking forward to hearing from you all 😊

After my last treatment, I was swollen like crazy too! From my experience, ice therapy for the first three days is really crucial, and then after that, warm compress works better! As for diet, I made sure to avoid salty foods and alcohol as much as possible, and I could definitely tell it made a difference. Hope your swelling goes down soon, you got this! 💪
