Hi! My name is Ja. I recently started a minor skincare procedure and I'd like to ask if anyone who's had one before experienced swelling and bruising is actually normal, because my face is a little swollen right now. I'm not sure how normal that is.

I'd also like to ask what methods you used to take care of yourself in the initial period after the procedure? For example, ice, medication, or sleeping with your head elevated... And what should you eat or avoid? I've heard people say to avoid alcohol and red fruits beforehand, but I'm not really sure. Does anyone have any experience to share?

I'd also like to know how long it generally took for things to return to normal. I'm quite busy with work and I'm worried that people will think I look strange. 😅 Any advice would be appreciated!
