Can I bruise from injectable treatments?👀
Yes, bruising can be a common side effect of injectable treatments. Bruising occurs when small blood vessels under the skin break, and it usually appears as a pin prick at the injection site.
Here are some tips to reduce or prevent bruising after an injectable treatment:
•Avoid blood thinners: For 1-2 weeks before your treatment, avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E.
Eat fruit: The vitamin C in fruits like pineapple can promote healing and reduce bruising.
***Plan ahead: Schedule your treatment at least 2 weeks before any important events.
•Apply cold compresses: For the first 24 hours after treatment, apply cold compresses to any swelling.
•Limit sun exposure: Avoid excess sun and heat until the swelling goes down.
•Use makeup: If you do bruise, you can cover it with makeup, concealer, or BB cream.
Bruising and swelling usually goes away 2-7 days after treatment if occurs.
