I Had Sculptra Injections Yesterday. I Am Severely Bruised, All Purple from my Nose to my Chin?

Bruising can occur any time a doctor goes through your skin with needles...  It can occur with sculptra and restyulane, juvederm, radiesse, etc.  If sculptra was used for the fine 'crepy' or 'sleep' lines over the cheeks, it is many little injections along the lines and in a criss-crossed technique... so it is likely to get some bruising.  Be patient... as sculptra is the best product to stimulate your own collagen and it will, over time (you need 3 treatments, 2 months apart), rehydrate your skin!  I also use it for volumizer of the cheeks, pre-jowls and temples with amazing results.  For the bruising, eat pineapple everyday.  It contains a natural ingredient - bromelain - which help bruising to disappear faster!  Best of luck!  Dr. Marc DuPere Plastic Surgeon Toronto

Severe bruising can be helped by using vitamin K cream, certain V-beam lasers, and even IPL. Make sure to wear sunblock over a bruise because tanning can cause the bruise to stain the skin and appear much longer.
