Q: Bruising with Radiesse

A:

Yes, it is normal to have bruising after injections of Radiesse or other fillers. Everyone is different, some patients bruise, some do not. It is not uncommon however to have some bruising more on one side than the other. Many patients feel that taking specific herbs, such as Arnica tablets, prior to and following the injections will help with the bruising.
