Will the steam from a facial make my Juvederm bruising worse?

Question

My facial will be 6 days after the injection. I'm on day 4 now and it's still pretty bad. Help!

Dear tracy6234,Thank you for your question. The steam from a facial will not make your bruise worse. Best of luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, the steam from your facial won't make bruising worse. Bruising can last 1-2 weeks. In the mean time, VBeam treatments may give improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question.  The steam from a facial will not impact your bruising and may help by bringing additional blood flow to the area.  Hope this helps.

A pulsed dye laser can help break the bruise up and shorten the amount of time it persists.  I usually have patients come in 48 hours after their injection if they need this treatment.  This is done at no charge.  The steam from a facial will not worsen your bruise.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your excellent question.  The steam from a facial will not make your postprocedure bruising worse.  I recommend that my patients avoid facials for one week after treatment with Juvederm.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

Thank you for your question tracy6234. I understand your concern. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the
appearance of the face. I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure for 24 hours after a treatment. We treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. This makes the bruise resolve more quickly. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

It sounds like you will likely need to wait to allow the bruising and swelling to subside first. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.  Steam from your facial should not have any impact on your bruising.  I would recommend following-up with your injector to discuss your concerns - some lasers can be used to help bruises fade sooner.  Best of luck!

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

the bruise that appeared from your filler injection is not going to get worse from steam coming from a facial machine. The bruise gets worse only because it comes to the surface and becomes more noticeable. Applying warm compresses will help the bruise resolve much faster. you can also get a bruise cream that may help but it needs to be compounded by a pharmacy. Good luck from New York City

Matthew Elias, DO, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  The bruising can be resolved with a vascular laser such as the Pulsed Dye or Excel V laser done approximately 48-72 hours after injection.  This is typically done complimentary.  Steam will not affect the Juvederm or make the bruising worse.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
