Bruising, generally speaking, can happen after injection treatments. Several previous answers made note of drugs to avoid beofre the treatment. We also give the patient sin-nech before we do the filler treatment. It helps with most, but not all. They have a formulation much lower than the that used for surgery--a tablet at the time of injection and a few more every 6 hours after the injection.
