Is Bruising Unavoidable After Restylane Injections?

Thanks for the question. It is not necessarily unavoidable, but it is common. It is such a problem and we all have issues with bruising and fillers. The key is trying to prevent it. I've recently wrote an editorial discussing research into this area. Perhaps it would be of help? There are so many things out there that are misunderstood. I hope this article helps clearify some confusion with respect to what can and can not cause/help bruising. I go over alot of information so hopefully it helps in the future!James P.

Bruising is unlikely after Restylane injections but really depends on individual factors and whether you have been taking meds or herbals that thin the blood.  I would advise you to take Bruise-Stick or Bruise-Pak Arnica meds before your treatment.
