I would advise against applying any type of cream in the area you have been treated after your botox treatment. Furthermore, I would be careful trusting anything labeled as an “anti-hermatoma cream.“ A hermatoma is a lump of blood under the skin caused by heavy bruising. Currently, there is no cream exclusively approved to treat this condition. I would consult with a medical professional before proceeding any further.
Anti-hematoma cream or anrica montana cream is commonly used to to help resolve bruises. Commonly this is taken in pill form prior or following injection. Be careful not to massage the botox towards the eye.
Botox is still an procedure that involves a needle. First is not to be on drugs, vitamins, or herbal supplements that can increase bruising, (i.e.; aspirin, ibuprofen, vit A, vit E, St. John's Wart, etc). Often we suggest patients take Arnica Montana, an herbal supplement that is thought to decrease swelling and bruising. We also suggest ice and elevation. As far as treatment of an actual hematoma, creams and herbal supplements are usually not very effective. Make sure whomever did your procedure knows what is going on...
Hi Egypt. We do not know of a cream that could be used for a hematoma. In addition, if a bruise were related to a Botox injection, we would normally use a pulsed dye laser to break up the bruise. This usually takes about 48 hours for the bruise to go away after treatment.
It is possible to get a bruise from injections, any injections on the face but very rare to get a hematoma, which is a colleciton of blood enough to feel a lump, underneath the skin. If there is a bruise that forms, which is very rare from Botox injections in my practrice, but does happen, I have recommended an Auriderm vitamin K cream which may help the processing of the iron in the blood cells to diminish the bruise faster. Arnica montana, an herb, taken internally, as well as Bromelain, may reduce the bruising faster. Speak with your doctor about this.
