minimal pain and swelling. The only thing that was hard was remembering to make my frown face and to raise my brows every fifteen minutes. It was fun waking up every morning to see the progress of the Botox. The muscles between my brows needed a touch up after ten days, but {provider names above} guarantees her work so that was free.

Bruising after any type of injection is a possibility. Unfortunately you are blindly sticking a needle under the skin and there is the possibility of small blood vessels being damaged causing bleeding and subsequent bruising. The good news is that it does completely go away in time. The swelling after Juvederm is normal and usually resolves within about a week. More concerning is continued pain after injection. There is usually a minimal amount of discomfort the day of the procedure but if this persists, I would contact your physician and ask their opinion.
