Arnika Forte

Arnika Forte is a specialized combination product developed by DermAvance, designed to accelerate the healing of bruising and swelling following surgical procedures, cosmetic injectables, or physical trauma. The formulation synergistically combines *Arnica montana*, a botanical extract, and bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple. *Arnica montana* contains sesquiterpene lactones, such as helenalin, which exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the transcription factor NF-kappaB. Bromelain acts as a proteolytic agent that breaks down fibrin and reduces plasma kinins, thereby decreasing vascular permeability and edema. The product is available in both oral capsule and topical roll-on formats, often used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to improve patient recovery times and aesthetic outcomes post-procedure.
