Is it a requirement to use arnica pills before Juvederm lip fillers or even after?

Arnica is a supplement that can help with bruising so it can be helpful to use before and after a filler treatment. It comes in pill form and also cream/ointment. It is not a requirement but is something that patients may find useful. Other ways to help prevent bruising are to avoid certain medications prior to treatment such as aspirin, Vitamin E, Omega-3's, and NSAIDs.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Using arnica pills before or after Juvederm lip fillers isn't a strict requirement, but many practitioners recommend it to help minimize bruising and swelling. Arnica is a homeopathic remedy often used to support healing after cosmetic procedures. Taking it before your treatment may potentially reduce the risk of bruising, while using it afterward can aid in recovery. I hope this helps and best of luck!
