Why my Bruise is Yellow Post 2 Weeks of Botox? (photo)

Your bruise is yellow after 2 weeks of Botox injections because it is going away.  The good news is you should be only a few days away from no longer having a bruised Botox area.

There is not much you can do to speed up the recovery from a minor bruise following an injectable other than a homeopathic remedy called Arnica Montana, which is known to help minimize bruising and swelling, or warm compress.  A bruise following an injectable treatment is generally:

 

1) Rare in occurrence
2) Short in duration
3) Not severe
4) Small in size

A little bit of ice before and after any injections can help reduce the chances of bruising occurring and minimize the appearance if bruising does take place. In general, the yellow color of a bruise can be due to bilirubin, which is one of the byproducts of the breakdown of hemoglobin.  Hemoglobin is what gives the bruise its initial red color, where disturbed capillaries leak blood into the tissue. It would really be necessary to see you in person to determine the cause of your eyebrow issue. I would recommend speaking with your physician. Thank you and good luck!
