Concerns

Lipoxins, resolvins, protectins and vasoinhibins have emerged as signaling molecules that regulate many cell functions and ample evidence emphasizes their role in the resolution of the inflammatory response. Resolution is an active and tightly regulated process controlled by anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediators and cellular moities. Emerging evidence now suggests that this process of resolution initiates in the first few hours after an inflammatory response begins. herefore, it is necessary to modulate this response with the use of bioflavonoids. 

J Duarte and colleagues have reported (June 5, 2014 Food Funct) that "under conditions of inflammation and oxidative stress, flavonoids may prevent the inflammatory signalling cascades via inhibition of NFκB and thereby downregulate iNOS (indicuble nitric oxide synthase). On the other hand, they also prevent the overexpression of ROS generating enzymes, reducing superoxide and peroxynitrite levels, and hence preventing superoxide-induced nitric oxide (NO) inactivation and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) uncoupling. Therefore, the final effect of flavonoids on NO levels will depend on the flavonoid structure and the concentrations used, on the cell type under study and particularly on the presence of inflammatory/oxidative conditions. Modulating tissue oxidant injury and recovery/resuce in bioflavonoids can translate into less inflammation and pain following tissue injury and surgery. 

Solutions

Swell-X® is a physician formulated product that contains a proprietary blend of Diosmin, Hesperidin and Grape seed extract. The components of Swell-X® have been shown individually and in combination to reduce perivascular tissue inflammation and edema (swelling). Overall, the phlebotropic agents and over 51 antioxidants in this proprietary formulation alleviate the painful consequences of acute and chronic inflammation and surgical tissue injury.

We routinely use Swell-X® after all endovenous ablation procedures, microphlebectomy and other vein procedures. Plastic surgery colleagues use it after injectable fillers, plastic and cosmetic procedures like liposuction, face lift and tummy tuck.
