Reduce Post-Op Swelling & Bruising, Soothe Traumatized Skin See
full product line
Cool off in the
Cold
& Hot Therapy department of the Store where you may find a wide
variety of specialized product solutions for treating post-operative swelling
and bruising. The department includes specialized cold and hot facial compresses,
and face and eye masks that can effectively provide both cold and hot therapy
to swollen and bruised areas (eye area, crows feet, upper cheeks, and outer
corners of the nose). As the surgery causes post-operative swelling and bruising
to take shape, cold and hot therapy is needed to help reduce these symptoms.
Cold therapy is very effective for reducing swelling, relieving sensations of
pain, and accelerating the healing process. Hot therapy helps break down and
disintegrate bruising discolorations and provides moisture or dry heat to areas
of discomfort. Hot therapy can also be soothing on sore eye tissues that have
been tightened or cut.
A practical alternative to using leaky ice packs, messy frozen peas, or to dripping hot gauze pads and towels, the reusable, doctor-recommended Eye Masque Hot & Cold Compress can be used on the eyes for both cold and hot therapy to help in reducing post-operative swelling and bruising, headaches, fatigue, and general relaxation. The compress can also be used in the cold-mode to enhance your daily personal beauty routine by softening wrinkles and pores, refreshing a tired complexion, and alleviating tired or puffy eyes.
A convenient alternative to using leaky ice packs, messy frozen peas, or dripping hot gauze pads and towels, the lightweight, reusable Swiss Therapy Eye Mask Compress (3 per box) is unlike any other cold compress on the market with its ultra flexible design that enables the compress to conform to the shape of your eye zone. Being that the compress is incredibly light and thin, it feels like a second skin and puts minimal pressure. Unlike other compresses that can leak, it is non-sticky and stays only moist – but not wet. Made from hydrogel and coming in a sterile package, the Swiss Eye Mask can be used on the eye area for cold therapy to reduce post-operative swelling and discomfort, decrease healing time, and enable the patient to return to his/her normal activities more quickly. The Swiss eye mask can also help relieve headaches, fatigue, and be used for general relaxation. Beyond its post-surgery and therapeutic applications, the compress can also be used to enhance your daily personal beauty routine by alleviating tired or puffy eyes, softening wrinkles and pores, and refreshing a tired complexion.
This reusable cold and hot eye compress may be used on the eyes for both cold and hot therapy to help in reducing post-operative swelling, bruising, and discomfort from a chemical peel, BOTOX®, collagen, restylane, hylaform, and other injections, eyelid surgery, face lift, laser eye surgery (LASIK), and nose surgery (rhinoplasty).
A practical alternative to using leaky ice packs, messy frozen peas, and hot gauze pads or towels, this reusable, doctor recommended Hot & Cold Face mask compress can be used on the face for cold and hot therapy to help in reducing post-operative swelling, bruising, pain, and discomfort and to speed your healing. Made exclusively for Make Me Heal, the compress can also be used in the cold setting in your daily personal beauty routine to freshen up a tired complexion, soften wrinkles, and alleviate tired or puffy eyes.
Recommended by numerous doctors, the FDA-Approved ActiPatch ActiMask Healing Patch is the most cutting-edge solution for reducing post-operative bruising, swelling, pain, and redness, and minimizing scar appearance. This drug-free, painless electromagnetic patch is a medical device that delivers a pulsed electromagnetic frequency therapy in a small, patient applied patch, to accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries. The reduction of pain and swelling allows you to return to normal activities much sooner and facilitates your recovery. This convenient at-home 24 hour therapy is portable, lightweight, very easy to use and dramatically lowers the cost of therapy. Each ActiPatch delivers a minimum of 720 hours of effective therapy.

to periodically rearrange the wedge as you would with pillows that shift around
and fall.

Maximize Comfort While Resting, Avoid Muscle Tension & Body Aches
See
full product line
To help you rest
and heal in style, the Recovery
& Comfort Pillows aisle features a wide variety of pillows
that can maximize your comfort and help you avoid muscle tension and aches during
the healing journey. Due to the need to rest and sleep (often in an elevated
position) during the initial phase of recovery, having to remain in the same
position for long periods of time causes patients to experience all kinds of
muscle tension and aches in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, arms, buttocks,
knees, and legs. This leads to patients having difficulties resting and sleeping
properly during the recovery and is a cause for frustration. Fortunately, there
are some special comfort pillows that are specifically designed to reduce tension
and discomfort when resting and to help you have the pain-free rest that is
crucial to healing. These products include anything from a u-shaped pillow,
and leg separator, to knee and leg wedges and lifts.
