Asking friends who've had minor procedures - any aftercare tips to recommend?

Hello, my name is Net. After a minor procedure, I experienced some swelling and slight redness. It's not a big deal, but I'm curious how others who have gone through this managed their aftercare. I'd really like to speed up the healing process and not wait too long.

Right now, I'm trying to minimize irritation, avoid the sun, and keep the area moisturized. But I'm still unsure if there's anything else I should be doing, like using ice or applying heat safely. Does anyone have any good experiences or advice to share? Thank you!
