Is there any pill I can take before Restylane lip injection to prevent swelling?

December 9, 2016
Asked By:anushka123 in New York, NY

I'm getting my injections done for the third time tomorrow and I'm wondering if there is something i can take to prevent swelling and bruising. ( i can't get my hands on arnica montana in my area) i tend to swell and bruise a lot, more than most people. Swelling usually goes down after 3 4 days. Bruising lasts longer. But it's the swelling that bothers me the most. I'm not allergic and not on any medication. Thanks
