Popis: This commentary examines the utility of arnica in cosmetic dermatology. For many years, arnica has been used to reduce the morbidity associated with various procedures, including surgeries and treatments with lasers and other energy-based devices. Arnica is a traditional homeopathic remedy that can reduce post-procedural edema and bruising. Although it has been used clinically by many physicians and is widely and readily available to patients, the available data is limited and often conflicting. We reviewed the relevant information on arnica and offer our own insights into its use in order to shed more light on its periprocedural utility.
