Bruise Cream and Soothing Ointment - Aftercare Guide

Bruise Cream

Product Efficacy

  • Provides pain relief, anti-inflammatory effects, and rapid bruise reduction
  • Promotes hematoma absorption to accelerate bruise improvement
  • Helps minimize the appearance of discoloration

Application Method

  • Apply to bruised areas multiple times daily (2-4 times recommended)
  • Use only when symptoms are present; do not use as a preventative
  • Cleanse the area thoroughly before application
  • Apply a thin layer and gently pat to absorb rather than rubbing
  • Use the minimum amount necessary for coverage

Precautions

  • The product may produce a warming sensation; this is normal
  • Do not use if you have hypersensitivity to salicylic acid or heparin sodium
  • Avoid applying to open wounds or severely damaged skin
  • Do not apply near the eye area
  • Discontinue use and inform medical staff if skin irritation or allergic reactions occur

Expected Results

  • After 2-3 days: Bruise color becomes slightly lighter
  • After 3-5 days: Bruise shows significant improvement
  • After 5-7 days: Most bruising becomes nearly invisible

Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Keep away from heat sources
  • Check expiration date before use

Soothing Ointment

Product Efficacy

  • Effectively calms redness, itching (pruritus), and stinging sensations post-procedure
  • Reduces inflammation and promotes skin soothing
  • Creates a protective barrier for healing skin

Application Method

  • Apply 1-2 times daily when experiencing redness, itching, or stinging
  • Use only when symptoms are present; do not apply continuously as a moisturizer
  • Cleanse the area gently before application
  • Apply a thin, even layer using gentle tapping motions
  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the area
  • Allow 5-10 minutes for complete absorption before applying other products

Precautions

  • Do not apply to areas where the epidermis is peeling (may worsen skin damage)
  • Contains a minimal amount of steroid; do not use if you have steroid hypersensitivity
  • This is a medicinal ointment, not a cosmetic cream; do not use like regular skincare
  • Discontinue use if you experience skin irritation, increased itching, or rash
  • Consult medical staff if adverse reactions occur

Usage Duration

  • Typically needed for 3-5 days post-procedure
  • Discontinue once symptoms completely resolve
  • Do not continue use after symptoms disappear

Bruise Cream and Soothing Ointment

Using Bruise Cream and Soothing Ointment Together

Application Sequence

  1. Cleanse the treated area thoroughly
  2. Apply soothing ointment first in a thin layer; wait for complete absorption (5-10 minutes)
  3. Once soothing ointment is absorbed, apply bruise cream over it

Application Intervals

  • If using twice daily (morning and evening): Maintain at least 4 hours between applications
  • If using multiple times daily: Space applications at least 4 hours apart
  • Morning application: Soothing ointment + Bruise cream
  • Evening application: Soothing ointment + Bruise cream (or bruise cream alone if no redness)

Important Notes

  • Never mix the two products together
  • Ensure complete absorption of the first product before applying the second
  • Excessive use may cause skin irritation
  • If using other skincare products, apply these before the ointments and wait 10 minutes

Skin Type-Specific Guidelines

Sensitive Skin

  • Perform a patch test on the inner arm 24 hours before full application
  • Discontinue immediately if rash, itching, or swelling appears
  • Start with minimal amounts and increase gradually if well-tolerated
  • Consider using only the soothing ointment initially, then add bruise cream if no reaction

Oily Skin

  • Use minimal amounts to avoid a greasy appearance
  • Apply thin layers and allow complete absorption
  • Gently blot excess product with a clean tissue after 10 minutes if desired
  • Consider using only in the evening to prevent makeup interference

Dry Skin

  • After product absorption, additional moisturizing cream may be applied
  • Allow 5-10 minutes between products
  • Apply moisturizer gently over the treated area to prevent dryness

Combination Skin

  • Apply products only to affected areas
  • Use less product on naturally oily zones (T-zone)
  • Use more product on naturally dry areas

Troubleshooting Guide

If Skin Irritation Develops

  • Stop using the product immediately
  • Rinse gently with cool water
  • Apply cool compresses for 10-15 minutes
  • Contact clinic immediately if irritation persists

If Products Cause Excessive Greasiness

  • Use smaller amounts
  • Apply only to affected areas, not entire face
  • Blot gently with tissue paper after 5 minutes
  • Consider using only in evening application

If Products Don't Seem Effective

  • Ensure consistent application (2-4 times daily for bruise cream)
  • Allow adequate time for products to work (3-5 days minimum)
  • Contact clinic if no improvement after one week

When to Contact Your Clinic

Contact immediately if you experience:

  • Severe allergic reactions (swelling, difficulty breathing, severe itching)
  • Signs of infection (pus, increasing pain, fever)
  • Severe or worsening skin damage
  • Reactions that persist beyond 24 hours of discontinuation
