ASPS DATA Committee Report
In addition, in their review of the worldwide medical literature regarding the safety and efficacy of homeopathic Arnica, the experts on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)'s Device and Technology Assessment (DATA) Committee found 10 studies that met their standards for high-quality research. Only two of the studies demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in bruising and swelling. Those two studies were the only two studies that tested SINECCH™ versus placebo. The other eight studies tested various health food store strengths of homeopathic Arnica versus placebo. All eight of the health food store strengths of Arnica were proven to be ineffective in reducing pain, bruising, and swelling.
The dosage of homeopathic Arnica in SINECCH™ is the only product on the market that follows the guidelines for the use of homeopathic Arnica after surgery as published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS). The guidelines were published in a letter to the editor by Dr. David Riley, who is:
* an MD board-certified in internal medicine
* an expert in the use of homeopathic medicine
* the former editor of one of the major journals in the field of alternative medicine
* a member of the Board of Directors of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, the official source for the methods of manufacture of all homeopathic medicines in the United States that is used by the FDA to regulate the production of homeopathic medicines
* a consultant to the FDA on matters regarding homeopathic medicine
Summary
The dosage regimen utilized in SINECCH™ is the only homeopathic Arnica montana product on the market clinically proven to reduce bruising and swelling after surgery, and is the only product to follow published guidelines (in PRS) on dosage in plastic surgery.
Health food store homeopathic Arnica has been proven ineffective in eight studies. Only SINECCH™ has been clinically proven to help with cosmetic surgery (e.g., rhinoplasty, facelift) swelling and post-operative pain reduction.

Study Results
Clinical Research Study of SINECCH™ (Homeopathic Arnica Montana) in the Reduction of Ecchymosis (Bruising) after Facelift
Reported at the Eighth International Symposium on Facial Plastic Surgery on May 5, 2002. Presented by Dr. Brook M. Seeley, Dr. Corey Maas' Fellow at the University of California, San Francisco. Only material presented at Dr. Seeley's talk is reproduced here. The study was also published in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, vol. 8, Jan./Feb. 2006, pages 54–59: Effect of Homeopathic Arnica montana on Bruising in Face-Lifts, by Brook M. Seeley et al.
Dr. Seeley presented his study, an institutional review board-approved, randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the Arnica montana product SINECCH™, a programmed dosage regimen of homeopathic Arnica unique to SINECCH™, produced by Alpine Pharmaceuticals.
The goal of this study was described as twofold. First the researchers sought to develop an objective method of quantifying the amount of post-operative bruising. They then used this method to quantify the degree of bruising of post-operative facelift in patients given either homeopathic Arnica montana in the SINECCH™ protocol or placebo. The same surgical procedure was used for all patients. Dr. Maas and his Fellows performed all surgeries. All patients were women with an average age of 58. Photos were taken on Post-op Days 1, 5, 7, and 10. Dr. Seeley utilized a computer-imaging program to analyze all of the 29 patients' photos. The computer calculated the area of bruising in every photo.
Overall, the placebo group had 24 percent more bruising than the SINECCH™ group. The placebo group took 50 percent longer to recover than the SINECCH™ group.
The Results Were Highly Statistically Significant for Post-op Day 1 and Day 7.
On Post-op Day 1 the placebo group had on average 26% more square cm of bruising than did the SINECCH™ group (P0.36) The patients receiving Arnica were significantly younger than the treatment group. (mean age 32.6 vs. 37.9) (P if you'd like to learn more.
