I’m fairly young, I’m 36 years old, but I have some wrinkles in my forehead that are really visible. I wanted to try Botox very badly, but was scared bc I assumed it was painful and I would end up with bruising. I had seen friends end up with bruising so bad that they had to hide for days. As a busy mom there was no way I could take time off because of that! I got my injections at my dermatologist and it was not as painful as I thought and, best of all, I ended up with no bruising. My doctor provided me with Ocumend pads right after my injection and told me that the Arnica in it would help preventing swelling or bruising after the injections. I did as he instructed me to: apply them that same day before I would go to bed and take them off and discard the next morning. I used the Ocumend pads that night. There was no swelling and no bruising after the injections and I will never be afraid to get them done again as long as I have these pads.
