Is Bruising Normal 1-2 Weeks Post Radiesse?
Yes, you can have bruisess come to the surface 1-2 weeks after Radiesse injections although this is relatively rare IMHO. Since Radiesse is thicker than Perlane, it's typically injected deeper into the fatty tissues, of the face where more vessels are located. If the needle intersects, one of these deep vessels, the bruise will take some time to work itself to the skin surface and be revealed. Arnica 12 C has worked well, IMO, for any bruising and swelling after...

Bruising After Injections
Radiesse is usually injected into the deeper skin layers, thus making bruising more likely. Like my colleague said, Arnica helps with this. Something else that helps tremendously to lower the risk of bruising with Radiesse (or any injectable) is to see physicians who do a lidocaine with epinephrine block prior to the filler portion. The lidocaine will help alleviate any pain, and the epi actually constricts vessels/capillaries for a bit (about an hour) so that you don't get as much blood...

Bruising after Radiesse
With any filler there is a chance of bruising, however it is uncommon. To help prevent bruising in the future, you may want to consider taking Arnica Montana and refraining from taking Aspirin and Motrin products two weeks prior to your injections. You have not posted a picture, so it is impossible to comment on your case specifically.
Good Luck.

Bruising Can Take Up To 2 Weeks to Resolve Sometimes
As is the case with any treatment where a needle is being placed into the skin, bruising is very possible with filler injections such as Radiesse. Bruising is not necessarily the result of poor work; it is possible even at the hands of expert injectors with excellent technique. The good news is, bruising, while terribly inconvenient and sometimes painful, usually resolves by 7 to 10 days after the treatment. And occasionally, it can take up to 2 weeks to completely resolve. I am...

Bruising 1-2 Weeks after Radiesse Injections
It is not normal to have bruising 1-2 weeks after Radiesse injections but this can occur, especially if the patient did not avoid things like alcohol or medications that tend to thin the blood like aspirin before the treatment. Although this will be transient contact your physician for recommendatios to accelerate the healing process.

Bruising from Radiesse
Bruising from deeper filler injections such as Radiesse are common and can often last for several weeks. Many medications, vitamins, and herbs are associated with excess bruising from filler injections. Those to avoid for at least 10 days prior to injection include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or naproxen (Aleve), aspirin, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), licorice, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, and other herbal supplements. The degree...

Bruising with Radiesse - follow pre-appointment steps
Yes – Although this bruising could have been avoided if the patient followed pre-appointment steps such as avoiding blood thinners, alcohol and herbal supplements. If bruising continues after 2 weeks, schedule a follow up with the doctor that preformed the office procedure. Keep in mind that every one heals differently and bruising can be common in most patients. Best of luck to you!
