Does massaging the bruising in my eye area after Botox help to speed up the bruise healing?

If you're having a problem after Botox injection I suggest reaching out to your injector and asking for advice. Bruising can be readily treated with lasers which lead to rapid resolution of bruising in most cases. I would ask your injector if they are able to offer laser treatment to you or suggest someone who may be able to do so. Of course, waiting for the bruise to resolve is always an option as well.

No. Do not massage the bruise in your eye area. Talk to your surgeon as to his or her post op protocol, but I've found arnica to be helpful with bruises. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you for your question in regards to Botox. It is not recommended to massage the area where Botox has been injected. This can cause it to migrate to areas where the Botox is not needed. Applying pressure to a bruise can also cause the bruise to become worse. 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.
