How Long Does Bruising Last After Botox?

Bruising after Botox can occur. Most of the time it is visible the same day or the very next day. In some cases, however, it may become visible several days later. A bruise occurs when blood leaks out of a traumatized blood vessel. It could be that with strenuous activity or rubbing or due to blood thinners that an injured blood vessel dislodges a clot and causes some blood to leak into the tissue and thus cause a visible bruise (e.g. heavy exercise a few days later may results in a bruise). The bruise typically dissipates within a week or two.

Sorry to hear that you have had some bruising. I would recommend icing the area or taking some Arnica tablets to reduce the bruising. Bruising from Botox can last approximately 1-2 weeks. With the right amount of after-care (as listed above) it can be shorter. Most clinics sell high-coverage make-up, which could be a temporary topical solution till it goes away.

In the majority of cases, any side effects are temporary and limited to where Botox was injected. Bruising can take anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks to completely resolve.  If you have concerns about side effects, follow up with your injector
