Does Arnica Really Work for the Bruising After Tumescent Liposuction?

I've seen reviews online and heard from a few people that Arnica can have a significant effect on bruising after liposuction. My inner thighs are very purple, but the other areas are hardly bruised. Can Arnica really help? If so, which delivery method? My PS suggested that if I try it, I use the oral Arnica. Are creams or gels effective?
