Bruising after Cellulaze. Any suggestions?

Congratulations on your recent procedure! While bruising is expected, a large amount will subside after the first few weeks. An additional step to aid in the healing process is to take  Arnica or bromelin while you're recovering. Good luck and congratulations again!

Bruising after cellulaze is normal and varies from person to person.  It is important to wear compression and avoid sternuous exercise in the first few days after the procedure.  Although there is not a lot of scientific evidence to prove it, oral arnica montana and bromelain seem to help speed the recovery.  With severe brusing, there may occasionally be some pigmentation left behind called hemosiderin that may need to be treated with laser therapy.

Bruising and minor swelling are normal following Cellulaze laser cellulite treatment and may last 2-4 weeks.  Bruising is caused by mild trauma from the tiny laser wand that is inserted under the skin to break up the cellulite-causing fibers.  Waiting a few weeks for the bruising to resolve is your best bet, especially since you are wearing a compression garment for the first week in any case.  If your treating physician has a pulsed dye laser, it can be used to speed up the resolution time of bruises.
