Many of us lead an active lifestyle, which makes getting hematomas and injuries not so rare. Often hematomas can form on the face - and the reason for this is not a fight at all, but, for example, cosmetic procedures or a bruise that can be accidentally obtained. As a result, a certain amount of blood accumulates under the skin area, which leads to the appearance of a hematoma or, as they are called in simple language, a bruise.
Reviews about "Arnigel" prove that the drug acts quickly and reduces the time of getting rid of subcutaneous accumulations of blood due to shock. Depending on the severity and size of the bruise, the drug acts faster or slower.
Patients in reviews of "Arnigel" offer the best way to use, which can reduce the duration of treatment.
The composition and form of the drug
The drug is a gel of a uniform consistency of a yellowish color with a slight grassy odor (almost complete absence of aroma is allowed). "Arnigel" refers to homeopathic remedies, that is, its composition does not contain unnatural components. Produced by the French pharmaceutical company Byron, the cost of one bottle of gel with a volume of 45 grams is about 250 rubles. On sale there are also bottles of 120 grams, their cost is about 400 rubles.
The main active ingredient of Arnigel is Arnica Montana. When applied to the skin, the agent promotes the resorption of blood accumulations, due to which the rate of resorption of bruises increases.
The following substances are used as auxiliary ingredients:
- sodium hydroxide (in the form of a solution);
- ethanol;
- water;
- carbomer.
Indications for the use of "Arnigel"
The instructions for use report that "Arnigel" is effective in the following cases:
- bruises and hematomas obtained by trauma;
- bruises and bruises that formed after injection;
- muscle pain due to physical overwork;
- when the joints are stretched, the gel can also have a mild therapeutic effect (it is optimal to use it as part of complex therapy).
"Arnigel" should be used externally: apply a thin layer to the damaged area several times a day. Reviews about Arnigel indicate that the rate of skin repair is faster by about 30%. Roughly speaking, without using the gel, a bruise passes 14 days. When using the product after 10 days, there is no longer a trace of damage, as the reviews indicate.
The instructions for use with "Arnigel" reported that to buy the drug does not need a prescription from a doctor. The drug does not cause drug dependence, side effects when used are extremely rare. The tool can be purchased at any pharmacy without difficulty.
Side effects when using
Instructions and reviews for "Arnigel" report that against the background of the application, the development of the following side effects is possible:
- itchy skin (rare and occurs only in those people who individually cannot tolerate the effects of arnica extract);
- the appearance of a small rash - also refers to the manifestations of allergic reactions.
Usually the drug is well tolerated. In the reviews of Arnigel, patients confirm that the possibility of developing allergic reactions during treatment is extremely low.
Contraindications
The instructions say that there is only one contraindication - the presence of allergic reactions to any of the components that make up the composition. If this condition has already been tested by the patient, then you should refrain from using the drug.
Complaints from patients about side effects and worsening well-being with the use of the drug have not been reported. Since the gel belongs to the group of drugs with a pharmacological effect, it makes no sense to worry about the development of drug dependence or about the ability of the drug to adversely affect the condition of internal organs. Arnigel can also be used to treat bruises in children and adults.
"Arnigel" in facial cosmetology
Reviews of patients by cosmetologists confirm that Arnigel is an effective and safe way to get rid of bruises after various manipulations. Hyaluronic acid filler injection procedures are very popular today. In order to give the face a fresh look and increase the volume of tissues, women boldly agree to such procedures, even given their very high cost.
But it often happens that a beautician with a needle can get into the vessel. This is enough to form a hematoma or a rather large bruise. Often such misunderstandings spoil the entire mood of the client: you want to enjoy the result of the procedure as quickly as possible, and a bruise on the face spoils the whole effect. Arnigel comes to the rescue. Reviews in cosmetology are positive both from customers and from the masters themselves. Often, it is enough to apply the drug only two to three times so that the hematoma becomes less bright, turns 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 where the bruise formed. Thanks to this application, the bruise passes several days faster than in the absence of gel.
Arnigel for children: reviews
Children are very mobile, so the occurrence of hematomas and various kinds of injuries is commonplace. However, if for one reason or another a bruise appears on the face of the child, 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 cause irritation of delicate baby skin. Parents' reviews indicate that the use of the gel is extremely rarely accompanied by the occurrence of side effects.
Reviews about Arnigel for the face are good: even if the hematoma is deployed in the eye socket, where the epidermis of the child is especially thin and sensitive, the gel does not cause irritation, on the contrary, the bruise goes much faster. In the first days of use, it fades, 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, to become the owner of a hematoma of an impressive size, a strong blow is required, as a result of which quite a large amount of blood accumulates under the skin. The reviews of “Arnigel” from hematomas on the body are also positive: people share their impressions that the speed of tissue repair is significantly increased.
But there are also negative reviews. They are usually associated with 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 "magical" properties, it is only able to accelerate healing to some extent. If the hematoma comes down three to four days earlier, then this can be considered an excellent result of therapy. Negative reviews are usually left by those people who expect that the bruise will completely disappear 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 with a thin layer on the affected area, while a centimeter or two go beyond the boundaries of the hematoma. Do not generously smear the gel - its amount will not affect the speed of recovery in any way. Usually just a very thin layer is enough.
Apply the product as often as possible. Optimal - from two to five times a day. In this case, after application, you should not immediately bathe or wash yourself - at least half an hour, you must leave the absorbent.
Often patients ask a question about whether it is possible to use funds with a different composition for bruises in parallel with Arnigel? Yes, that’s perfectly acceptable. Only you should carefully read the instructions whether it is permissible to use another remedy on the same day as homeopathic medicines. 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.
Medical tips for getting rid of a hematoma fast
In order to get rid of the bruise as quickly as possible, the following simple rules should be followed in parallel with the use of the gel:
