Is This Much Bruising Normal After Liposonix? (Photo)

Bruising, temporary redness and swelling after a Liposonix
treatment are not uncommon and do not affect efficacy of the treatment.The Liposonix device sends high-intensity
ultrasound energy to the targeted area. Skin is not harmed but the fat tissue beneath the skin is permanently destroyed.

I see bruising more commonly after Liposonix when high energy/low pass techniques are used. There are several different ways that the treatment can be done, it is a choice your medical provider makes when treating you.   There does not seem to be any difference in overall results though the high energy method is quicker and may be more uncomfortable.  Bruising may also be more common in the "thinner" areas like arms and legs than abdomen or trunk.  Since arms are not FDA approved at this time there is not as much data available to analyze. In the end bruising to this extent does not seem to be a worrisome development and should resolve within two weeks. Arnica and compression garments may help in speeding the resolution.  

This amount of bruising is normal after liposonix, although some patients do not experience any bruising.  It should fade over the next week or two..
