What Are the Best Methods to Reduce Facial Swelling Post Laser/fat Injections Treatment? (photo)

November 9, 2011
Asked By:Skin girl in Mount Dora, Florida

I had CO2 laser resurfacing to the face & chest along with fat transfer injections under the eyes. I am following the after care instructions including the use of post procedure balm, aquafor, Keflex, Acyclovir, Arnica & drinking lots of fluids. Any other suggestions to relieve swelling & minimize bruising. My eyes are almost swollen shut. I was prepared for the down time and understand that this is normal after laser. Thanks!
