Bioderma Cicabio Arnica Plus Face & Body Cream, 40ml

Bioderma Cicabio Arnica+ Cream combines the anti-bruise properties of Arnica Montana extract with Bioderma's Cicabio barrier repair technology for use on bruised, traumatized, or post-procedure skin. The formula is used in aesthetic medicine and dermatology settings as an adjunct to cosmetic procedures including filler injection, laser treatments, and surgical procedures to accelerate the resolution of bruising and support skin healing. SPF50 in the formula protects the vulnerable post-procedure skin from UV that would slow healing.

Benefits

• Arnica Montana extract has one of the most established evidence bases of any botanical skincare ingredient for the appearance of bruising and post-knock skin discolouration through its inhibitory effect on the inflammatory mediators that cause capillary leakage and haematoma formation
• The SPF50 UV protection is specifically important for post-procedure skin - laser-treated, needle-traumatized, and surgically disrupted skin is significantly more vulnerable to UV-induced hyperpigmentation and healing impairment than intact skin
• Bioderma's Cicabio barrier repair complex accelerates skin barrier restoration at the cellular level - supporting the re-epithelialization and collagen synthesis that constitute the healing phases after skin trauma
• The combination of anti-bruise action and skin healing support in one product reduces the number of post-procedure products patients need to manage, simplifying the recovery protocol
• Used in professional aesthetic medicine settings as a recommended post-procedure product, providing the clinical credibility that patient-facing products require for acceptance and compliance

How to Use

• Apply a thin layer to bruised or traumatized skin as soon as possible after the injury or procedure
• Apply 2 to 3 times daily until bruising resolves
• In the daytime, the SPF50 in the formula provides UV protection - apply as the last skincare step before sun exposure
• Massage in very gently - avoid vigorous rubbing on freshly bruised or post-procedure skin
• Continue for 5 to 10 days post-procedure or until bruising has fully resolved
• Can also be used on insect bites, minor burns, and general skin trauma for its anti-inflammatory and healing support properties
