How long do you think it will take for the bruising to subside? Is it common to look this terrible three days after injection? Foundation doesn't cover it.
Answer: Bruising and Swelling Post Fillers Bruising is normal after fillers and will take 2-3 weeks to resolve. Vbeam can help speed up the process. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Juvederm and bruising Hi there, I’m sorry to hear about your bruising. I always recommend bothtopical and sublingual arnica to help with decrease bruising. Bruising is nottypically permanent, but residual discoloration can linger for a while. Talk to your provider to find out what he or she recommends for you. Goodluck!

Answer: Bruising after Juvederm Thank you for your questions Cleaneat. Juvederm is a filler that can be used to enhance areas of volume loss. Any time an injection is performed there is a risk of bruising. For our patients we recommend avoiding blood thinning medications such as aspirin a few days before and after a treatment to decrease the risk of bruising. In our office we use cold air before and during the treatment and apply ice packs after the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising. We also treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruising normally goes away on its own in 1-2 weeks. After a laser treatment it usually goes away in 1-3 days. Please follow up with your doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Bruising after Injection Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a lot of bruising - unfortunately, this does happen occasionally. Anytime a needle is injected into the skin there is always a potential for bruising. If a patient takes a lot of supplements (like Vitamin E) or is on an aspirin or has recently taken Motrin or Aleeve, the bruising may be worse. The good news is that it will get better - there are special make-ups that can help to cover extreme bruising. Oxygenetics has a great line out - it actually helps with the healing process, too. You can massage the area lightly to help break up the bruising a bit. Also, your injector may offer you laser to help break up the bruise a little faster. There are different modalities that can be used. Best of luck - it will get better and it is well within the normal variant.
