Bruising after Botox! (photo)

Thank you for your question. Bruising is a common side effect from any injection and can take up to two weeks to completely heal.  Please be patient. 

Thank you for your question in regards to Botox. Bruising is a common side effect from any injection and can take up to two weeks to completely heal. At that time, if it has not improved it is recommended to follow up with your injector. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Hi ~ Bruising often occurs after botox but it will get better within 5-7 days. It is important to apply ice packs after your botox treatment and limit strenuous exercise immediately after your treatments. You should expect your bruising to get better over the next several days and it should not cause any long term problems.

Any injections can cause bruising and should resolve in a few days to a week after injection. The bruising won't affect your final results. If you're concerned, you can contact your injector. Best, Dr. Emer

Bruising can happen from any injection in the face. It may take a week or more for the bruising to resolve. I would recommend Arnica or V-beam to help relieve the bruising quickly.  Best, Dr. Green
