Post-injection bruising. Can you prevent it? What to do if you get a bruise.
Post-injection bruising is a fact of life. It can happen when the needle nicks one of the thousands of tiny blood vessels in our body, resulting in minor bleeding under the skin. Even if you visit the most talented and experienced injector in the world, you can still get a bruise because these microscopic capillaries are invisible to the human eye.

Now, there are definitely steps you can take ahead of time to minimize your chances of developing an unsightly bruise. Even if you do end up with one, we have some useful post-care tips to ensure it won't become too severe.

Read on to learn all about post-injection bruising and how to prevent or deal with it once it happens.

SkinMedica Retinol Complex
Retinol is the most studied and clinically-proven anti-aging ingredient to help the skin 'act' and look younger by accelerating cellular renewal.

SkinMedica's retinols come in three concentrations of pure retinol - .25, .05 and 1.0 so that your skin can get used to it gradually.

What is Arnica? And How Does it Help with Bruising?
Arnica has been used for thousands of years as a topical treatment for a wide range of bruises. It's a flowering plant with powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

At the first sign of a bruise, apply arnica cream to reduce its severity and healing time. Use the cream directly on the bruise, and reapply it to the affected area 2-3 times throughout the day. You can also consider Arnica tablets for a systemic effect. It is best to start taking the tablets 1-2 days before your procedure.
Arnica’s anti-inflammatory action works to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation, supporting and enhancing the body’s natural healing process. BONUS: it also helps to make the bruised area less sore.
