"Arnigel" in facial cosmetology
Reviews of cosmetologists' patients confirm that "Arnigel" is an effective and safe remedy for getting rid of bruises after various kinds of manipulations. Today, hyaluronic acid filler injections are very popular. In order to give the face a fresh look and increase the volume of tissues, women boldly agree to such procedures, even considering their very high cost.
But it often happens that a beautician can get into a vessel with a needle. This is enough to form a hematoma or a rather large bruise. Often such misunderstandings spoil the whole mood of the client: after all, you want to enjoy the result of the procedure as quickly as possible, and a bruise on your face spoils the whole effect. Arnigel comes to the rescue. Reviews in cosmetology are positive both from clients and from the masters themselves. Often it is enough to apply the remedy only two or three times in order for the hematoma to become less bright, turn pale. If you want to get rid of the bruise as quickly as possible, then you should use "Arnigel" daily: apply to clean skin in the place wherewhich hemorrhage has formed. Thanks to this application, the bruise disappears a few days faster than without the use of the gel.
"Arnigel" for children: reviews
Children are very mobile, so the occurrence of hematomas and various kinds of injuries in them is commonplace. However, if for one reason or another a bruise appears on the child's face, any parent will want to help the child quickly get rid of the defect. Again, Arnigel comes to the rescue in this case.
The product does not irritate delicate baby skin. Feedback from parents indicates that the use of the gel is extremely rarely accompanied by side effects.
Reviews of "Arnigel" for the face are good: even if the hematoma is located in the eye socket, where the child's epidermis is especially thin and sensitive, the gel does not cause irritation, on the contrary, the bruise passes much faster. Already in the first days of use, it turns pale, then disappears. As a rule, it takes about 8-9 days to get rid of a medium-sized hematoma on the face. And if you do not use the gel, it will take an average of about 12-15 days.
Reviews on the use of hematomas on the body
On the body, the skin is not as sensitive and thin as on the face. Therefore, in order to become the owner of a hematoma of an impressive size, a strong blow is required, as a result of which a rather large amount of blood accumulates under the skin. Reviews about "Arnigel" from hematomas on the body are also positive: people share their impressions that the rate of tissue repairincreases significantly.
But there are also negative reviews. They are usually associated with having excessive expectations. Many patients expect that when using the gel, a large hematoma will resolve in a matter of days. This cannot be: after all, the gel does not have any "magic" properties, it is only able to speed up healing to some extent. If the hematoma disappears three to four days earlier, then this can also be considered an excellent result of therapy. Negative reviews are usually left by those people who expect the bruise to disappear completely after a couple of days from the start of gel therapy. Of course, large hematomas cannot resolve in such a short time.
How to use "Arnigel" correctly
It is necessary to apply the product in a thin layer on the affected area, while going beyond the boundaries of the hematoma by a centimeter or two. You should not smear the gel abundantly - its amount will not affect the speed of recovery in any way. Literally a very thin layer is usually sufficient.
Apply as often as possible. Optimally - from two to five times a day. At the same time, after application, you should not immediately bathe or wash your face - you should leave the product for absorption for at least half an hour.
Often, patients ask the question of whether it is possible to use products with a different composition from bruises in parallel with Arnigel? Yes, this is perfectly acceptable. You should only carefully read the instructions, is it permissible to use another remedy on the same day ashomeopathic preparations. As a rule, there are no such contraindications, but before starting therapy, you should in any case make sure of this. Otherwise, the patient may expect the development of unpleasant side effects, in particular, allergic manifestations.
