The most frequent questions we receive after procedures are,
“Can I apply this ointment?” and “How long should I use it for?”
Although bruise creams and soothing ointments may appear similar,
their purposes are entirely different, so it is essential to distinguish between them.
Today, we will clearly outline the differences and proper usage of these two products
to help speed up your recovery after a procedure.
First, it is crucial to accurately understand
the condition of your skin after a procedure.
Even if your skin looks fine on the surface immediately after a procedure,
the inner layers are highly sensitive and irritated.
Therefore, the key to a quick recovery is focusing on
the essential products rather than applying multiple unnecessary ones.
✅When to Use Soothing Ointments First
This is the first product you should use when experiencing redness, itching, or stinging.
✅ When to Use Soothing Ointment: Use when the skin feels burning, itchy, or stinging.
✅ Proper Application: Apply a small amount only to the affected area 1–2 times a day.
✅ Precautions:
Skin Wounds: Do not use on areas with open wounds or peeled skin.
Usage Period: Avoid long-term use as it contains steroids.
Purpose: Please note that this is not a daily skincare product to be used like regular cosmetics.
✅Use bruise creams in the following cases:
This is a product used intensively when visible bruising occurs.
✅ Effects: Promotes bruise absorption and relieves swelling and pain.
✅ How to Use: Apply gently to the bruised area several times a day.
✅ Precautions:
May cause a cooling or stinging sensation.
Avoid use if sensitive to specific ingredients (Salicylic acid, Heparin).
As a general rule, use only when bruising is present.
Key Summary to Avoid Confusion
✅Redness or Stinging > Soothing Ointment
✅Visible Purple Bruising > Bruise Cream
Remembering these simple criteria will help you avoid excessive or improper use.
【Essential Aftercare Tips 】
It is important to apply products only to the necessary areas.
If there are no symptoms, you do not need to apply them.
If your skin reacts unusually, please contact the clinic immediately.
While the procedure itself is important,
the results can vary significantly depending on the aftercare.
Though they may seem like small steps, proper management determines
the speed of recovery and your overall satisfaction.
