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

Be cautious about altering your medical regimen without speaking to your doctor first. This is especially true if you are on stronger medications for blood thinning. Remember, your health is the first goal.

Clinical Context

Bruising after filler injections usually comes from the needle or cannula nicking a small blood vessel, not from the specific brand of hyaluronic acid used. Because Restylane and Juvederm are injected the same way, your risk of bruising may be similar with either product. Factors like blood thinners, supplements, alcohol, and individual vessel patterns play a bigger role than which filler is chosen. Most bruises fade within one to two weeks.
