Vitamin C, B-vits and low dose minerals -- are they okay prior to Restylane injections?

We have our patients take arnika, we use cannulas and limit holoistic medications as listed above to prevent bruising.  Sometimes there is nothing you can do.  Also, no drinking for 3 days before.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello te,Thanks for your question.The supplement you display is no risk for additional bruising from injectables so it is ok to use.However avoid alcohol for 5 days prior to the procedure to decrease bruising.  It is very common for me to see fluctuations in the amount of pinpoint bleeding from the injection sites for patients I see regularly for injectables and Botox.  When they seem to be bleeding more than normal they usually took some NSAIDs a few days prior or they had some alcohol the night before (typically wine.)Xanax also is not a problem.I hope this was helpful.Dr. Shah

You definitely have the list of products to avoid before injections.  Vitamin B and C are not on that list and should be fine.  Taking Arnica can help prevent  bruising as well.  Best, Dr. Green
