Anytime you have an injection, ie a needle is inserted into your skin, there is the potential for bruising and swelling. Botox, however, swelling is rare and if it occurs is temporary, bruising is slightly more common with botox but typically is mild and limited to the injection sites. The bruising with botox is easily hidden with make up.
Juvederm would have the potential to cause more swelling than Botox. Often times swelling is a function of both tecnique and the patient's reaction to the injection. Most of the time, swelling is less severe with Juvederm than with Restylane (but both can cause it).
Most patients can return to work the next day without any problems after Botox or Juvederm or restylane.
