I have these two bluish patches on my face after a Restylane Vital Light session. Is this necrosis or just bruising? The pictures were done 7 hours after the procedure. I am very worried to death.

It doesn't hurt if I touch that area and the patches are just a bit more purple in real (they appear lighter in the photos because of the lightning), but they are by no means blackish.
