Does everyone get bruises after Restylane? If so, how long does the bruises and swelling last? I will be going on a trip four days after getting my Restylane. Is it safe? Thanks
Answer: Pulse dye laser treatment can speed resolution from post Restylane injections Bruising is very common with all dermal filler injections. It may not happen every time on every patient, but it is very common. Certain variables contribute to bruising, such as history of bleeding disorders, medications, and injection technique. Should bruising occur, a pulse dye laser treatment can speed its resolution.

Answer: Restylane Treatments without Bruising The best way to avoid and bruising - especially for sensitive areas like lips or under the eyes, is to eliminate medications such as aspirin, Ibuprofen ( Motrin and Advil) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as Alleve or Naprosyn . Other causes of bleeding and bruising tendencies are green tea, flax seed oil, Omega -3s and alcohol or caffeine intake the day before your treatment! Arnica oral tablets are an easy remedy to reduce the degree and length of time of bruising and can be taken 3 -5 days following the treatment.#Unavoidablebruising #Restylaneinjections #avoidingbruising

Answer: How can we help reduce bruising with fillers? 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.

Answer: Bruising with Restylane injections - dermatology and plastic surgery 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.
