Ocumend Bruise Reducing Pads
REDUCE BRUISING WITH OCUMEND
OcuMend was launched into the field of plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology to speed recovery of bruising, pain and swelling caused from facial aesthetics procedures such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eye lift), rhytidectomy (face-lift) and dermal fillers.
Ocumend pads contain medical grade Arnica montana and Ledum palustre hydrogel pads at 50 times the potency of any other product purchased over the counter.
OcuMend pads contain a patented ultra-penetrating nanotechnology that produces natural Arnica and Ledum sub-micron particles. Nanoparticles have been shown to penetrate the skin more easily.
OcuMend is clinically proven to reduce bruising, pain and swelling. Dr. Velargo performed a split-face study on blepharoplasty patients that showed a significant difference between the eye treated with Ocumend pads vs. the eye treated with a leading over the counter Arnica cream. Additionally, another study, published in Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2016, showed that patients recovered faster when using the Ocumend pads.
Our patients particularly enjoy using these pads following tear trough and cheek augmentation injectible fillers. Our patients that use Ocumend tend to bruise less and have less swelling. Any bruising that does occur tends to resolve at a faster rate than those patients not taking advantage of the Ocumend pads.

Testimonials
I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the results of the procedures from Drs. Velargo and Hendrick!! They are very caring and professional in the care of their patients and the office staff rocks!! They listened to the concerns that brought me to their office for correction, then suggested options with sincerity. I felt very comfortable with both of them and will most definitely be a patient of theirs for life!!My experience here was truly wonderful. Dr. Gary took her time and really talked to me about what my expectations were and how we could achieve it. She’s very kind and makes you feel like you can talk to her about all your concerns, no matter how minor. And the results were incredible and natural, which was a huge priority for me. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well, and they really make you feel welcome. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with a spa feel. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Gary and the rest of the lovely folks here!
I was really nervous about getting a breast augmentation because I really wanted it to look natural and proportionate to my body. On my first visit/consultation Dr. Hendricks and his staff made me feel really comfortable! He truly listened to me and made me feel at ease throughout every step of the process. Very kind and personable doctor! I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about a procedure, especially if you’re looking for a natural look and a doctor who won’t pressure you otherwise! Bonus, the office is very beautiful (feels like a spa) with an incredible view of the city. Definitely check them out!
