How common is bruising after wrinkle management treatment?
Thankfully bruising is uncommon after wrinkle management treatment. Some people may experience a small pin-prick mark/bruise after treatment and if this does happen it most commonly occurs in the crow’s feet area. Any bruising caused by this treatment is usually very easy to cover with a little make up.
Why is bruising more common in the crow’s feet area?
The area around the crow’s feet has a lot of small and medium sized blood vessels. At Cityskin, when we perform a wrinkle management treatment in this area, we are very careful to avoid the blood vessels to reduce the risk of bruising.
How can I reduce the chance of bruising after wrinkle management treatment?
The honest answer is to find a clinician that knows facial anatomy well and can avoid the small blood vessels. Taking aspirin before the treatment may increase the risk of a bruise but if you take aspirin for a medical reason, please do not stop it without medical advice.
How to treat a bruise
If a small bruise is caused after treatment, we recommend using ice on the area to reduce the bruise. Be careful to wrap the ice in a towel/place it inside a rubber glove to reduce the risk of a cold burn on the skin.
We are very careful to avoid bruising when we perform a wrinkle management treatment – this is done by looking closely for blood vessels prior, and treating very superficially in areas where the face is more vascular.
