Hi, it's Maki. I had a minor beauty treatment done in Seoul last week, but I ended up with more swelling and bruising than I expected…… Even now that I'm back in Japan, some of it's still lingering.

The procedure itself was really quick, and I'd heard that downtime would be minimal, but I guess there really is individual variation after all. Right now I'm trying different things — alternating between cold and heat. How do you all handle situations like this? I'd love to know what you're careful about in your daily life, and if you've actually felt any effects from certain care methods.

To be honest, I'm not really sure about the recovery timeline…… If anyone out there has had a similar experience, I'd like to hear how long it took for things to settle down. Since I had the treatment done abroad, I'm pretty anxious about it, and I'd really like to hear everyone's honest experiences.
