How to Help Control Bruising Before Restylane Injections for Tear Troughs?

TrueSouthernBelle
I am planning to get Restylane injections for my hollow tear troughs. I was wondering what supplements to avoid and what I can take to help control the bruising/swelling beforehand. Should I take Arnica supplements before the procedure? How many days before, what doses? Drink lots of water? Arnica topical gel after? Before? I know bruising and swelling aren't completely preventable, but I just want to know how to prevent it as much as possible. I will do everything it takes.
