Will Taking Arnica Montana and Bromelain to Lessen Bruising After Subcision of Acne Scars Lessen my Results?

VKZAug 10, 2013
I am planning to have light subcision combined with Belotero filler on some shallow acne scars. I was planning to take Arnica Montana and Bromelain to prevent/lessent bruising because I can't take time off of work. I just read on another site that you want to bruise after subcision, as it produces better, permanent results. Is this true?

There is a few options for acne scars. You can get profractional laser with micro laser peel that in it self will get rid of a lot of your scars but not 100%. If you want 100% you can do a mini facelift that would be stretching the skin and getting rid of the deeper scars.Good luck.
