After Mesothread Treatment
After the procedure, the treated area is often tender and sore. Tightness may also be felt in the area. Mild swelling and/or bruising are possible. Swelling and bruising can be prevented and treated with Arnizen cream. Swelling can also be relieved by applying an ice pack to the treatment area for ten minutes at a time, four times a day. Makeup can be applied to the treatment area the day after the procedure.
