Can I and should I ice dysport swollen areas on forehead?

Question

I'm taking Bromelain and also arnica sublingual tablets... My question is !!! Should I and can I apply ice to the two black and blue little balls that I have on my forehead ? will that help or should I just leave it be!!! Thanks .. I have been on Tylenol for 2 weeks. So I know the bruising is expected and I bruise easily. But the too nice size bumps are my question.

Thank you for your question. Just hold a little pressure on the area with a gauze, for 5-10 minutes, and it should be fine.  If a bruise persists, use a VBeam to treat the bruise, and this works very well.I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question.Ice only helps for the first 2-3 days. If it has been two weeks, gentle massage may help these dissipate.

To be sure, return to see your injector or see two or more experienced, licensed
and certified providers for a complete evaluation.

I hope this helps.

That seems like some impressive bruising.  Bruising is usually minimal with Botox or Dysport injections and Tylenol does not effect your platelets are bleeding times such as NSAIDs or Aspirin.  Ice will help though...as well as head elevation.  Take care and good luck.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Yes, ice can be used to help any swelling that develops after a Dysport treatment.  Generally, ice can help for the first few days and then tends not to have much benefit after that.  Also, by the way, Tylenol does not influence bruising or bleeding.  Medications like aspirin, advil and motrin do however.

Bruising is not that common after injection of Dysport, but it can happen.  Ice can be effective immediately after, but it is not very helpful 2 weeks later... gentle massage may help.
