Is there anything I should use, eat or avoid to make my treatment most effective & to aid in recovery/healing?

Thank you for your question.  Congratulations on having a BBL and Halo laser treatment!  these are both wonderful procedures and when performed together will give you a great result.  In general, you would be red for the first several days after treatment.  Be sure to only use a gentle cleanser on the skin for the first few days.  Also, refrained from wearing makeup until the skin is fully healed.  Your provider will give you more detailed instructions, as well, and be sure to follow these just as they are written.One of the most important post-treatment instructions is to be sure to avoid the sun while you are healing, and use a medical grade sunscreen every day after you are healed.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Swelling is normal after Halo and could be managed by decreasing salt intake, waiting 2 days before any cardio exercises and sleeping with a couple pillows at night. Gloves should be worn for the first two days to prevent infections. Please be gentle cleansing your skin and do not scrub or exfoliate your face until you are totally healed.
