Should I keep applying ice today and tomorrow 24-36 hours post filler injections? What about aloe vera?

Asked By:bruise in Glendora, CA

I had filler injections in my face yesterday, cheeks and mouth area. I iced immediately afterwards every 20 minutes for about 5 hours. I am applying Arnica gel and taking Arnica pills. I understand that bruising is normal but I'd like to do whatever necessary to speed this up (get rid of the bruise)
