How can broken capillaries from lip fillers be fixed?

Question

I just had lip fillers & I know have a huge broken capillary or spider vein sprouting from my lip off into my skin. It looks horrible! What can I do to fix it?

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS · Answer

It is possible to get broken capillaries or  tiny spider veins after filler  using a V-Beam laser will correct it, next time start taking arnica 2-3 days before the treatment and apply a topical vitamin K cream to the area immediately after the injections which will help to strengthen capillaries.

There isn’t much you can do but to wait till the bruising goes away. It may take up to a week to two weeks for it to resolve.

Hi there, and thanks for sharing your question. Bruising, redness and sometimes broken capillaries after lip fillers are quite common, and laser skin treatments should be able to help restore your even skin tone. Just be sure you work with a trained and certified professional. You can also ask your filler provider about taking certain supplements such as arnica to help with bruising in the future.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Bruising can be seen after any injectable treatment including lip filler treatment. Certain vascular lasers including VBeam, Excel and IPL (M22, Max G, Elos Plus) could be used to expedite the healing of the bruise.

It's possible that you may have a bruise from the treatment. We would suggest starting with a cold compress. Arnica gel can also be helpful. 
broken capillaries or blood vessels can be successfully treated with a V-Beam laser. 
I hope that helps
