Track marks from Restylane. Will these fade?

Question

I had Restylane injected six weeks ago and Juvederm 9 days ago as I needed a little more. I have bluish/purple track marks from the needle. Will these fade? Will a lightening cream help? I can't afford a lazer at this time.

Thomas Buonassisi, MD · Answer

Without seeing photos and based on your description, they are likely just needle marks and will fade with time, just by leaving them be. The skin is thinner in this area so they be more visible than in other parts of the face. Sometimes Arnica can help to minimize the risk of bruising prior to injection, but needle marks are very common any time a needle passes through the skin.

the answer is yes - but it can take up to a few weeks if there is a small bruise at the injection site. usually these can be covered with make up

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Many patients have small bruising from injections but they usually don't last several weeks.  I would recommend you take Arnica Forte as this will help reduce the bruising. I tell my patients to return for V-Beam to reduce the bruising as a courtesy for my injectable patients.  Please consult an expert in cosmetic injections for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

Hi,
Good question, and great news these will fade and by 2-3 weeks shouldn't be noticeable.
Would recommend makeup to cover them up during this period of time.
Best of luck,
Dr. Amy

These marks are from slight bleeding under the skin and they will fade over a couple of weeks. Don't waste your money on lasers
