What else helps besides cold after Juvederm around the mouth?

You can do the following to minimize bruising and swelling:avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, St. John's Wort, vitamin E and other medications/supplements that increase bruisingdon't smoke or drink alcohol before your treatmentdon't do anything physically strenuous before or after your treatmentkeep your head elevated afterwarda cold compress can help

After your treatment, I would recommend using arnica gel, which is a herbal remedy that can help to minimize bruising.

Swelling & Bruising After Soft Tissue Filler Injections

With all injectable treatments, the risk of bruising will be reduced if patients refrain from the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen prior to their treatment. The use of cool compresses, beginning immediately after treatment, and continued for at least the first 24 hours is beneficial as well. If after several days some bruising is still remains, some very gentle massage of the skin may help this resolve more quickly.

Arnica montana is a homeopathic medication that some feel may reduce the occurrence of swelling and bruising following injectable treatments or surgery. One Arnica montana product (Sinecch™, Alpine Pharmaceuticals) has been shown to reduce the amount of bruising and swelling after facelift and liposuction surgery. This company now offers a dosing pack for patients receiving injectables. I have no affiliation with Alpine Pharmaceuticals and refer you to the following web pages so you can evaluate this for yourself.
