Whenever you inject the skin with any product that requires a needle, there is a risk of a bruise. This can occur with Botox, Restylane or Juvederm. Having said this, usually there is no bruising or very little. It will help you if you avoid non steroidal anti inflammatories such as Advil, Ibuprofen or even aspirin for a week prior.
All fillers can cause bruising and stopping your meds or stopping that wine with your meal a week ahead of time isn't going to be practical. Chilling the skin while you get the injections is the best way to prevent bruising since it constricts the tiny blood vessels and it makes the injections almost painless as well. I use the zimmer cryac unit on all Botox or filler injections, chemical or laser treatments and anytime I remove barnicles or skin tags as well. Arnica gel or pills is also helpful.
