Arnica gel vs. Vitamin K gel for healing bruises after a facelift?

We have lots of experience with Arnica, both orally and topical. It seems to work quite well. The oral form seems to help prevent bruising while the topical can help bruising go away faster. We don't have any experience with Vitamin K gel, but by the method of action, I don't feel it will do much for an existing bruise.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa

Hello and thank you for your question.You may use either of these creams/gels. The bruising will get better with every day that passes. I suggest talking with your surgeon for his/her recommendations. Best of luck!
