Bruising is always a risk with injectables

Mary Lupo, MD answers: Is bruising unavoidable after Restylane injections?

Does everyone get bruises after Restylane? If so, how long does the bruises and swelling last? I will be going on a trip four days after getting my Restylane. Is it safe? Thanks

You can reduce, but not eliminate bruising, by avoidance of aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, herbal supplements and ibuprofen for 10 days prior to injection. The pre-treatment use of Prevedem by Neocutis as well as the post-application use of Bruise Relief also may be of benefit, in my experience.
