Botox bruises. How long will it last? (Photo)

Arnica gel is available in most pharmacies and online. Apply it 3 times daily to bruises and they usually fade in about 1 week. You can use it not only to treat bruises, but also for prevention.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately a common side effect from Botox is bruising. Bruises may last up to 14 days, depending on the individual. Should you be concerned, I'd recommend booking a follow-up with  your qualified injector to discuss your experience and options. Take care. 

I am sorry that you bruised after your Botox injection. Lasers can be used to help these bruises resolve very quickly. It would be worth asking your injector if they can either treat your bruising with a laser or suggest someone who may be able to do that for you if you are trying to make the bruise go away as quickly as possible. Laser treatment for bruising is safe and effective.

Thank you for your question.Bruising can last up to two weeks after injections. Arnica can be used to help speed up the healing process of a bruise. To be sure, 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 & thank you for your question.Bruising and swelling is common after having injections. You can try an ice pack to the area for a few days. Many of my patients use a supplement called Arnica Montana before and after injections to help minimize the  swelling and bruising . You may want to try that for your next treatment. Best of luck and enjoy your results!

Depending on how you heal, it may take a couple of weeks for the bruise to fully resolve itself. Arnica can help. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Unfortunately bruising can happen to patients even in the most experienced of hands.  I recommend ice, and some patients like Arnica gel.  Expect bruising to fade from blue to yellowish over 4-7 days.Best wishes.  

Bruises can vary in the amount of time it lasts. Applying heat such as a warm wash cloth can help. 

Unfortunately this bruise could last you up to 2 weeks.  I have a makeup artist in house that can help with bruising.  When people have eyelid bruising you can use purple eye shadow to even out the color on both lids- just a thought. 

Bruising from an injection can last up to two weeks.  Always avoid any blood thinners prior to having the injections.  Most patients benefit from taking Arnica after the injections to speed up healing.  Best, Dr. Green
