How Widespread is Bruising After a Dysport Injection?

Sometimes bruising may occur with Dysport injections. Normally the bruising is small and localized to the immediate area of injection. Sometimes it can be a pinpoint bruise or a small pinpoint scab due to the needle insertion or it can be a larger area like the size of a dime at most. Every treatment can be different and you may not always bruise. To minimize the chance of bruising, you may avoid aspirin, motrin, ibuprofen, advil, aleve, fish oil, and vitamin E for 2 weeks prior to your injections. You may also take arnica a couple of days prior to your treatment as well. Arnica is an herbal supplement that is supposed to reduce bruising.

Generally you should have no bruising from an injection of neurotoxin with a 32 gauge needle. However, it is always a possibility. 

The needles used for these injections are very small.  There is always a risk for bleeding and bruising with any procedure.  If there is bruising, it should only be very little.
