I went 4 days ago to have 2 vials of Juvederm injected at a Med Spa called Body Tonic. I was compliant as far as not taking aspirin, fish oil etc before treatment. I started taking arnica pills a few hours before the injections and after also for 2 days. I iced after the procedure off and on the day of the injections. This just seems excessive. If this is normal will never get it done again.
Answer: Juvederm injections There is always a risk of bruising when someone is injected with fillers. Usually this bruising can last 1-2 weeks. Arnica comes in a cream and also a pill that can help speed things along. You can apply the cream topically to the bruised area several times daily or take the pills for the next few days. It is also helpful to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat, and consumption of alcoholic beverages for the first 24 hours following treatment to minimize risk.

Answer: Bruising After Fillers -- Use Cannulas Next Time There is no "normal" amount of bruising. Some people do not bruise at all and others bruise so much after treatment. Cannulas help limit that. But this appears to be healing and will take 1-2 weeks more to resolve. Arnika helps along with oral vitamin C. If you are very unhappy, pulsed dye laser treatments with or without venus legacy can help speed the healing process. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Bruising after Juvederm Hello. Bruising is a possible complication after any filler treatment. It's difficult to say your bruising is excessive or within expected standards because every patient heals differently. In addition, bruising may be variable with same patient undergoing same injections at different times. You did everything you can to minimize bruising. The technique used by your injector may result in more or less bruising. I recommend you see a board certified physician with experience for future injections. A board certified physician has passed regulated standards to demonstrate competency in his/her field. Understanding the relevant anatomy of the face, being an expert on the different characteristics of the filler, and having good/gentle injection skills are all important to getting a great outcome. Take care.

Answer: Is this normal bruising for Juvederm injections on chin? Dear marymundy,Unfortunately bruising can always occur, and seasoned injection patients know this is a reality. Sometimes there is no bruising at all, and sometimes it can be significant. I personally like using cannulas (blunt tipped injection needles) to decrease the risk, especially around the chin, but the risk is always there. In some places (like the commissures) I still need to switch to a needle. Some injectors don't like using cannulas, so it is a personal preference.Treatment with Broad Band Light (IPL) on a fresh bruise, Bromelain, Arnica Gel, and come other topical bruise relief products are also available for use. There are also great cover-ups available like Dermablend.Patients who get regular injections typically have some things around to make this time easier. 1-2 weeks of potential bruising can be a reasonable trade off it means about a year of correction for many people (me included), but it is not for everyone.Sincerely,

Answer: Bruising of chin following Juvederm to chin Thank you for posting your concerns following injections of Juvederm into your chin. It is not typical to get that much bruising following injections into the chin; however, it is one of the risks. Make sure your injector is board-certified and very experienced. The good news is that although you experienced bruising with this treatment, it is not likely to happen the next time you are injected with Juvederm. Good luck.
