Tips for aftercare after minor procedures - anyone experienced?

Hi everyone! So I just finished a small procedure here and am currently dealing with some swelling and bruising. This is my first time trying this kind of treatment, so I'm honestly a bit confused about how to properly care for it.

Can anyone share your experiences? Like, what should I avoid this week? I hear ice is important for swelling, but how long should I leave it on? And any tips for safe cover-up or makeup? And how long does it usually take for my skin to return to normal after bruising like this?

I'm so glad this community exists because I'm honestly a bit nervous. I've tried googling, but it's better to hear it from someone who's been there firsthand. Thanks in advance! 😊
