Swelling and bruising vary by each individual. It is normal to have some degree of swelling and an overall “tight” feeling, partially because once injected, the hyaluronic acid molecules are drawing in 1000x its weight in water. Bruising is always a possibility, and can vary in severity and duration. It is best to plan your treatments accordingly should you have any upcoming events. We recommend not consuming Aspirin, anti-inflammatories, fish oils, alcohol, and other blood-thinning agents to help mitigate bruising.
