To have the best chance of avoiding bruising during the procedure, abstaining from the use of alcohol and anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen) for 1 week prior to the procedure is best.
-
Supplementing with arnica and/or antihistamines before the procedure can be beneficial for bruising & swelling.
