Answer: Arnica is not effective because in contains vitamin K. In fact, there is no evidence that Arnica is effective at all in reducing bruising. Most preparations of Arnica are based on homeopathic principles and contain so little Arnica that effectively they are devoid of Arnica. Don't waste your money on these products. If you want to get serious about reducing bruising associated with a filler service, avoid products and food that are known to cause bruising. This includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, and aspirin. Many other products and food also contribute to bruising. As an office, we actually review this information with our potential patients.
