Is Bruising Normal 1-2 Weeks Post Radiesse?

Yes – Although this bruising could have been avoided if the patient followed pre-appointment steps such as avoiding blood thinners, alcohol and herbal supplements. If bruising continues after 2 weeks, schedule a follow up with the doctor that preformed the office procedure. Keep in mind that every one heals differently and bruising can be common in most patients. Best of luck to you!

As is the case with any treatment where a needle is being placed into the skin, bruising is very possible with filler injections such as Radiesse.  Bruising is not necessarily the result of poor work; it is possible even at the hands of expert injectors with excellent technique.  The good news is, bruising, while terribly inconvenient and sometimes painful, usually resolves by 7 to 10 days after the treatment. And occasionally, it can take up to 2 weeks to completely resolve. I am not convinced it will help, but you can try topical or oral arnica if you wish to minimize the bruising.  However, I would wait a little longer before calling the doctor.  That being said, if the bruise still appears to be present more than 3 weeks after the treatment, I would recommend following up with your doctor at that time.  Hope this helps!
