Spironolactone and Restylane - Blood Clotting Issues / Bruising?

Thanks to the physicians who provided responses to my inquiry regarding hair loss medications(specifically spironalctone) and restalyne procedures. Most of the responses have indicated that there are no adverse reactions between these two medications. To be more specific, I am told that spiro does lead to blood clotting due to the diuretic factors with this medication. Could this effect increase/decrease the amount of bruising? Thanks all
A: Not aware of any increased risk of bleeding complications with this med

I have never heard of any bleeding complications from spironolactone.  I do not believe that it affects platelet function or any of the clotting factors either.  It should not affect your brusing. 

There is a study about sprionolactone and upper GI bleeding - (Verhamme KMC, Mosis G, Dieleman JP, et al. (2006). "Spironolactone and risk of upper gastrointestinal events: population based case-control study". Brit Med J 333 (7563)).  So theoretically, there may be a small effect, but I personally have never seen this clinically.
