Arnica montana pellets are more effective than arnica gel or cream
As a cosmetic Dermatologist, I recommend my patients prepare for their filler appointments by beginning 4-5 arnica montana pellets sublingually (under the tongue) every few hours for two days before their appointment, and following again for another two days.
This harmless homeopathic, widely available nontoxic preparation can be easily found in health food stores. It is known to help decrease the potential bruising that can come with filler injections and speed healing.

Arnica Montana is Essential for Procedures: Bruisestick Arnica Montana
Bruising after a procedure can be minimized by standardized Arnica montana. Pellets purchased in a grocery store or health food store are often not standardized.
I recommend Bruisestick to my patients. It is standardized and safely applied to the skin surface. Bruisekare is also appropriate, as it comes in a standardized tablet taken three times daily.

Arnica: Which Brand Is Best For Surgery: BruiseKare
Arnica is effective for the reduction of bruising, edema, and inflammation associated with surgery.
In our clinical experience, we have found the most effective brand of Arnica montana to be the Bruisekare brand available in a standardized chewable tablet that is taken three times daily before and after surgery.
In terms of topical brands, the best standardized form of Arnica is BruiseStick, which is available commercially in the United States. www.bruisestick.com
