Answer: Dermal fillers and blood thinners Yes it is possible to have dermal fillers when on blood thinners. This is a discussion you should have with your injector to make sure that they are comfortable doing this procedure on patients that are anticoagulated. The key is to inject slowly with minimal puncture sites, use lots of pressure and ice to minimize bruising.

Answer: Dermal Fillers with warfarin Hello! Thank you for your question. You can get dermal fillers while on an anticoagulant such as Warfarin. There is an increased risk for bruising and bleeding when taking any blood thinner. I would discuss with your cardiologist and get clearance for treatment. You can also prevent bruising by taking Arnica Montana supplements 3 days prior to treatment. Best of Luck! Glow Med Spa Encino
