I had Botox injected saturday afternoon. Sunday morning I woke up with a red dot in the middle of my forehead and a few by my hair line. I have read that brusing is normal sometimes. The first time I had this done I had nothing. Its Monday night now and the dot has not gotten any better. is this just a broken blood vessel and how long w/it last? Besides that the botox so far looks good.

Answer: Bruising after botox Swelling, redness, discomfort and bruising are common and settles down within 3 days or so. This sounds like what happened to you. Rest assured, the bruising will subside over the next week or so. Follow your injector's post-care instructions to facilitate healing.

Answer: Mild Bruising after Botox
Yes, any time a treatment is rendered using a needle, there is a possibility of a bruise even with the best techniques. There are many actions a patient may take prior to treatments to minimize this outcome (ex: avoiding alcohol the night before, fish oil supplements, Ibuprofen, etc).
We use icing throughout the treatment to minimize this reaction. Be certain to ask your practitioner ahead of time regarding recommendations prior to treatment.
As for now, being that you indicated you are satisfied with your treatment outcomes, try not to worry about the mild bruises as they will clear with time.
