I had some bruising near my temples which came and went. But at the one injection site, I have a mark left....comparable to the look and size of a mole. It has not faded or gotten any better. Can you please tell me what this might be and if it will be permanent?

Answer: The effects of Botox are not permanent
Bruising is always a possible side effect with Botox injections. Bruising generally resolves over weeks. Some people develop skin darkening after procedures. This is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) - it's actually increased pigment in the skin. PIH goes away on its own- but it can take weeks to months. If you want to speed up the fading process, you can get a bleaching cream from your dermatologist.

Answer: Botox and Bruising
Botox injections can create some bruising that usually go away in a few weeks. some bruising may "stain" the skin and the pigmentation (Post inflammatory pigmentation) may be present for few more months. Some topical bleaching creams may help. you may want to discuss it with your doctor.
