How Widespread is Bruising After a Dysport Injection?
Does it just bruise around the injection site, like an IV, or will it be more significant?

Dysport
The needles used for these injections are very small. There is always a risk for bleeding and bruising with any procedure. If there is bruising, it should only be very little.

Bruising after Dysport
Greetings~
Generally speaking, if a bruise occurs with Dysport it is fairly insignificant. The needles used to inject Dysport are significantly smaller/finer than the ones used to draw blood or start an IV and most importantly when injecting Dysport we are not intentionally aiming for blood vessels. Any time someone is injected there is a chance of a bruise. These bruises can range, for the most part, from a pin point to about a dime size spot. To...

Bruises after Dysport
One can get a bruise anytime a needle is used to puncture the skin, but since the size needle used to inject Dysport is so small, the bruises, if they occur, are typically small and at the needle puncture site.

Bruising following treatment of wrinkles with Dysport is actually quite uncommon, and
Most patients can attain the result they are looking for without significant or long term bruising. We prefer to use a tiny insulin needle syringe for injections, and have our patients apply ice immediately after the injection. With this combined approach, we rarely see bruising, and if there is any bruising it quickly dissipates.

Dysport - How Widespread is Bruising After a Dysport Injection?
There tends to be relatively bruising after injections of Dysport or Botox.
Of course, there is the potential for bruising and swelling with any injection, including fillers and, certainly, treatments such as these. In general, the slight excess of bleeding that can lead to bruising can be noticed right away, and as long as the physician applies pressure immediately (and the patient does not have an increased risk of bruising from medications such as aspirin, vitamin E, etc) those...

Bruising after Dysport injections
Bruising after Dysport or Botox injections should be uncommon and very small if they occur. In over ten years of injecting patients I have had two instances where there was actually a big bruise. Both happened when treating the crow's feet area where there can be some larger veins and where the skin is very thin. I also suggest stopping aspirin and NSAIDs for a week before treatment if conveniently possible.

Bruising after Dysport
Fortunately, bruising is quite uncommon after Dysport injections. Most adverse side effects can be prevented with good technique and experience. Injecting slowly and steadily into the correct tissue plane, minimizing the number of skin punctures, avoiding excessive volume correction and avoiding placing the needle into obvious blood vessels will reduce the risk of complications. Firm pressure at the first sign of bleeding at the injection site can be helpful to prevent bruising.

Dysport and Bruising
There should be little if any bruising with this other than the occasional mark from the needle stick. Supplements such as ginseng, garlic, fish oil and ginger do increase chances of bruising.

Bruising with Dysport
Bruising is usually mimimal if there is any at all. A tiny bruise may lasts a few days and can be covered with make-up. Very rarely one can get a "black eye" like bruise which would last longer, but that is extremely rare!

Bruising is often minimal or absent.
Any time you get poked with a needle you can bruise. Practically this is really not much of a problem with Botox and Dysport treatment.

Dysport or Botox injection is oftern bruise-free
A very small needle is used during neurotoxin injection (Botox or Dysport). Usually there is zero bruising. Occassionally, the needle can puncture a small blood vessel and a small bruise at the needle site can occur. This more commonly occurs around the side of the eyes where blood vessels are abundant. Even if a bruise occurs, it should be very small and only last a few days. Most of my injection patients go right from my office back to work or out with friends. Injectable...

Minimal to no bruising with Dysport Injections
Bruising with neurotoxins, including Dysport, is infrequent. If bruising does occur it is usually very minor and very localized (pinpoint) lasting just a few days. Very rarely, a larger bruise can occur if a small blood vessel is injured.
