Forgot to ask. am having 30 units of dysport for horizontal forehead frown lines on monday. male. will i have any bruising for wed. big meeting?

Should be okay: In general, Botulinum Toxin Type A injections should be with minimal to no bruising. Typically, there is minor swelling and slight redness for 15 to 30 minutes after the initial injection. Unless a very small blood vessel is injured from the injection, bruising is quite rare.

Depends: If you take aspirin, motrin, advil (ibuprofen) or other pain relieving medications in the NSAID family - you'll be more likely to bruise. Same with alcohol consumption. Usually, if there are any bruises from a forehead injection, they are minor.

Possibly.: Certain medications that cause bleeding tendencies will definitely put you at a higher risk of bruising. If bruising occurs it is usually minor. Two additional points - in my experience 30 units of Dysport are inadequate for proper correction of transverse forehead wrinkles in a male, at least 50 units. Also i rarely treat transverse forehead wrinkles by themselves, your eyebrows will drop.

Bruising after Botox: Depends on if you bruise easily, skill of the injector, whether you took NSAID's the week prior to the procedure and other factors. It is a common complication from injections of any type.

On that day perhaps: and possibly the next day. Has to do with your own skin type, elasticity, and other meds you're may be taking concurrently, and how much needle marks are done to deliver dose.
