How to avoid bruising after filler injection

The short answer

To minimise bruising after filler: stop NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin), fish oil, vitamin E, gingko, garlic, ginseng, and red wine for 5–7 days before the appointment — these inhibit platelet function. Schedule appointments for the morning when platelet activity peaks. Choose cannula technique over needle when possible (Waleerat uses cannula by default for sensitive areas like under-eye, brow, and lips). Apply ice immediately after and arnica gel for 48 hours. If bruising occurs, it typically resolves in 5–7 days and can be camouflaged with concealer.

Common questions
What causes bruising after filler injections?+
Bruising occurs due to small blood vessel damage during the injection process. Certain medications and supplements can increase this risk by inhibiting platelet function, such as NSAIDs (ibuprofen), aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo, garlic, and ginseng.
Which treatment should I choose for minimizing bruising?+
For minimal bruising, opt for the cannula technique if available. It reduces needle contact with blood vessels. Additionally, avoid taking blood thinners or supplements that inhibit platelet function 5-7 days before your appointment to minimize risk.
What are the costs and recovery time for avoiding bruising after filler?+
Costs vary based on treatment type, such as Botox (฿20,000) or Juvéderm (฿30,000). Recovery is quick; most patients return to normal activities within a day. Follow post-care instructions for best results and bruise prevention.
