Hi everyone! I just had a minor procedure done here and I'm currently dealing with some pretty significant swelling and bruising. I'm still a bit unsure about the right aftercare for these first few days. Can anyone share their experiences? For example, how long does the swelling usually take to go down, or what's the most effective way to reduce bruising.

From the information I've gathered, it seems like cold compresses are helpful initially, but I'm not sure how long and how often they should be applied. Some people also say to avoid strenuous activity, but I'm curious how many days I should be on full rest or if I can move around a little.

If any of you have gone through something similar, please share your recovery routines! Are there any skincare products or local brands that you found helpful? I'd love to know how to keep the treated area clean and safe. Thanks in advance! 🙏
