I have bruised from Restylane before. Will Juvederm cause the same bruising?

Thank you for your question. An experienced provider can typically reduce the occurrence of bruising and some modalities like using a microcannula can reduce that occurrence even further. However, the risk of bruising is still always present regardless of the type of product used. I hope that helps!

Juvederm and Restylane will have no difference when it comes to the risk of bruising. They are both hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. Whether you bruise or not will be most affected by injector skill, your tendency to bruise, and bad luck.
Variables that you can control include:
1) Making sure not to take aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners, or various supplements known to thin the blood. Stopping these products for a week prior to the injection is recommended.
2) Alcohol consumption 48 hours prior to injection may significantly increase the risk of bruising, so avoid that as well.
All injectors can cause bruising, however, some injectors cause bruising more than others! Research your injector carefully and ensure you are in the hands of an expert.

Every individual reacts differently and for various reasons, with most cases it is the persons tendency to bruise. You can do things to speed up the healing process. You can take Arnica, which is a natural topical or pill formulation that is supposed to help with swelling and bruising. Also avoid any fishtail tablets and aspirin before and after the treatment. Bruising should get better over the next few days and be gone by about 7-10 days.
