Bruising after Botox and fillers

Any needle stick involved with a cosmetic procedure has a risk of causing bruising. This is rare with Botox but can happen, not at the fault of the physician injecting it, but tiny blood vessels that are underneath the skin and not visible or felt, may unfortunately be in the path of that needle. there's no way to avoid it in those circumstances unless could have been seen.  However, there are ways that we do minimize the chance of bruising by injecting slowly, tiny needles,... more

Prevent Bruising with Injections

Dear Thailand8330 in Thailand- Bruising after injections is relatively uncommon, but can occur. We recommend a product call Sinecch, which helps minimize bruising and swelling. It is best taken prior to an injection session, but can be started after a bruise develops. Prior to injections remember to be off aspirin, NSAIs like ibuprofen, garlic, green tea, etc. These items can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.

Bruising after injections

To still have some bruising two weeks after injection is not unheard of. Be aware of your reaction and next time limit any blood thinning agents such as asprin and alcohol. You can also take herbal suppliments such as arnica and bromelin before and after injections to help with bruising.

BRUISING AFTER FILLER AND OR BOTOX

Bruising can and does at times occur after botox or filler.   I suggest that the next treatment you prepare as if for surgery and avoid aspirin, ibupropfen, fish oil etc.   Once bruising occurs, it can take 3 or 4 weeks to go.. Use sunscreen to avoid hyperpigmentation in bruised areas.

Saddly a black eye can persist for weeks.

Your black eye can last for many weeks.  However, it will clear.  More troubling is that it is hard to hide the bruise and in most societies it is assumed that domestic abuse was the cause of the bruise.  Hand in there though, the bruise will clear.  Next time you have service, avoid medications that can increase bruising.  This includes a variety of herbal products and medicines like aspirin and ibuprofen.
