Is bruising due to how the fillers are injected? Is there a right way & wrong way to administer the fillers? (Photo)

Asked By:joysu in Tucson, AZ

I've had Restelayne & Dysport injections in the past with no bruising. Recently I went to someone else for Botox & Juvederm injections & I have bruises everywhere I was injected. Were the injections done incorrectly? It's been 4 days and the bruises look the same as they did 3 days ago. They didn't show up until the day after the injections.
