Is it ok to use Arnica gel or oral arnica tablets after the procedure?

Hello! Thank you for your question! The recommendations for the use of these homeopathic medications are surgeon preference. I typically suggest the use of Arnica Montana to decrease swelling and bruising. It is an herbal medication that is propagated from the seeds of an herb. I, as well as my patients, have seen some benefit with the treatment in the postoperative period. Although there is little evidence to its effectiveness, I believe there is some benefit, and no harm. I recommend 4-5 tablets under the tongue 4x/day for 3-5 days prior and 5-7 days after the procedure. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Arnica is fine to take after your CoolSculpting treatment and should not adversely affect your results. The bruising should subside over time, but if it worsens or persists, contact your provider.

Thanks for your question. It is completely safe to use Arnica both topically and orally after Coolscultping. Best of luck. 

I appreciate your question.You can use arnica but its not necessary The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Absolutley! Arnica gel or tablets can help tremendously in moving along any bruising that can occur following CoolSculpting treatment.
