How do you treat bruising and red marks, tiny scabs after Botox?

You should apply a cool compress to reduce bruising or swelling. Also, for about a week or two before and after your treatment, medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen and St. John's Wort should be avoided, along with alcohol consumption.  Avoid working out the day or two before your treatment.

Bruising can be reduced by avoiding alcohol, ibuprofen and ASA products 10 days prior to receiving Botox. In addition, you can take arnica montana tablets before and after treatment. If you have a small scab to the injection site your injector should be able to remove it. The small red marks usually subside within 15-20 minutes post injection. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your
question.Any minor scabs at the injection site should wash away within 24 hours. Bruising, if you get any at all, usually goes away in several days.For worse bruising, gentle treatments with a vascular laser will help speed the process.

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 these
treatments.

I hope this helps.

Tiny scabs and redness at the sites of the needle entry can be seen after Botox injections. Occasionally bruising may occur as well. These will both get better with time, usually less than a week. For some people Arnica may work to decrease the duration of bruising. Either way it will all resolve on its own.

Typically this heals on its own, but if it is there for more than 24 hours I suggest going back to your physician and showing the concerns.  Best, Dr. Emer.
