Juvederm 2 weeks before a Christmas party?

There are 3 important reasons why you should not schedule any injectable treatment within a few days of a major social occasion: Redness, bruising or a swelling can occur at the injection site, even if you have been previously injected in the same area, by the same physician, with the same injectable as in... more

It really depends upon which injectable you're talking about. BOTOX Cosmetic can easily be injected by an experience injector with very little risk for bruising and other side effects.
