Can you have voluma injections while you are taking eliquis 5mg twice a day?

Hello,Voluma or any other injectables can be used on people who take blood thinners but they will have a higher chance of bruising/hematomas.  I have patients hold pressure post injection for at least 15- 30 minutes if they are on blood thinners.  We treat bruises with topical arnica and patients can come in the next day for IPL (intense pulsed light) laser to break up the bruises.  After an IPL session, bruises typically diminish in 1-2 days.  The IPL laser targets the oxyhemoglobin in the bruise and causes it to metabolize more quickly.  Please ensure you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and explain that you are on a blood thinner pre injection.  Good Luck.

Thank you for sharing your question.  The risk of bleeding and bruising is much higher when treating a patient on anticoagulants, but it can be done.  Hope this helps.

Yes, you can get Voluma and Filler injections while on blood thinners however it increases the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you cannot stop the blood thinners then I would recommended getting your injections using a microcannula which will decrease the risks of bleeding and bruising. Hope this helps answer your question.
