Bruises after fillers and mesotherapy: saving your face from troubles

What is a bruise?

Those who regularly visit beauty salons know that bruises after injection procedures are not uncommon.
They are subcutaneous bruises and form when capillaries or small blood vessels are damaged. If the needle gets into a large one, more blood flows out and a hematoma forms. In fact, a small bruise is not only harmless, but also accelerates the skin regeneration process even more.
The body turns on additional internal reserves so that damaged blood cells are quickly absorbed. Their elimination occurs through phagocytosis, and then the breakdown products are eliminated from the body naturally.

Treatment methods

So, how can you remove such “consequences” so that they do not linger on your face and body for a long time? Surely there are ointments for swelling in your medicine cabinet. This can be Heparin ointment, Troxevasin, Traumeel S, Lyoton, Chitosan gel, various healing balms and gels.

A mask from the well-known “Badyagi”, as well as simply medicinal compresses, will also have a beneficial effect.

Watch the video of the program “About the Main Thing”, from it you will learn how to quickly get rid of bruises that appear, including with the help of a badyagi:

The sooner you take action, the sooner the bruises will disappear after a recent mesotherapy procedure.

Look at the photo of the clinic patient: bruising and cyanosis are still visible.

Now you already know how you can quickly get rid of troubles after injections. Let's now look at what prohibitions exist after the procedure.

Risk factors

Bruising after mesotherapy is the most common side effect. And even if the procedure is performed by a very high-level specialist, there is no complete guarantee that he will not hit a capillary or small vessel with a needle. Each person has their own arrangement of them, and they are not visible to the naked eye.

Additional risk factors are:

• capillaries located close to the surface of the skin;
• decreased blood clotting;
• hyperactive metabolism;
• high blood pressure;
• sharp vascular spasms;
• slow tissue regeneration processes.

A good specialist will have a detailed conversation with the patient before starting a course of therapy to find out what can affect the formation of bruises.

User reviews

Valeria D., 37 years old: “Immediately after the procedure I was a little scared, my face had reddish smudges. Then some bruises appeared, but they disappeared quite quickly. But after a week I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror: at least now I could see myself on the cover. The face is tightened, nasolabial wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin is moisturized and glowing. For the sake of such an effect, it was worth putting up with the injections and bruises.”

Anna U., 33 years old: “Soon it’s been a month since I decided to undergo mesotherapy. Before this there were deep peelings, masks, birevitalization. But at 33 years old this was no longer enough. Deep wrinkles did not respond to these procedures. The cosmetologist suggested doing meso. Without hesitation, she agreed. In the fight for youth, all means are good. My face, pierced in several places, of course, suffered some inconvenience. Yes, there were also small papules at the injection sites; my vessels are very close. Now I am pleased to catch the admiring glances of men, my self-esteem has increased, I will definitely go for mesotherapy again in six months.”

Ninel K., 46 years old: “It works! I look fifteen years fresher and younger. The skin is velvety, young. The environment, junk food and smoking have spoiled her greatly, and now I can’t get enough of it. For a week there were small “pimples” at the injection sites, the skin resembled an orange, but now it looks like a plump apple. My cheeks appeared, it was as if my face had gained weight. In general, do it, you won’t regret it!

Prevention measures

It is impossible to absolutely guarantee the absence of bruises after mesotherapy. But it is quite possible to take measures that reduce the intensity of bleeding and reduce the risk of the formation of large hematomas:

• a week before the procedure, stop taking anticoagulants;
• on the day of the session and the day after it, stop drinking coffee;
• at least 3-4 days before and after mesotherapy, do not smoke or drink alcohol;
• do not touch your face after the procedure with your hands, do not massage it;
• Limit active physical activity throughout the course;
• do not sunbathe or visit the solarium for another month after the last session.

For mature patients, a few weeks before the first mesotherapy, it is advisable to take high-quality multivitamin preparations that accelerate skin regeneration and improve its structure.

General recommendations on how to avoid bruising after the procedure

To avoid the appearance of bruises and hematomas on the surface of the facial skin, it is important to follow important recommendations after mesotherapy that will help you quickly put your appearance in order. In addition, it is important that the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist who knows all the rules and nuances of injections.

After completing mesotherapy, you should follow several important recommendations:

• There is no need to touch the chipped areas of the cover with your hands;
• You should not lie horizontally for several hours;
• 2-3 days after the procedure you need to sleep on a high pillow;
• During the first 7 days, it is important to avoid physical exercise, do not take hot baths, saunas, go to the solarium, or sunbathe;
• Immediately after the procedure, apply a cold compress to the treated areas of the face for 10-15 minutes. In the subsequent period, for prevention, this process must be performed regularly 2 times a day.

What to do

But what to do if the measures taken still did not help? How to remove bruises formed after a mesotherapy session as quickly as possible? Women are especially concerned about these issues, since their skin is thinner and bruises form on it more often than on men. In addition, dark spots on the face look quite unaesthetic.

Cold

The first remedy after bruising and swelling is cold. But it is effective for a maximum of two to three hours after the procedure. It’s better to apply it as soon as it becomes clear that a bruise has begun to form.

The cold must be dry. Rubbing the punctured skin with an ice cube is unsafe - it can cause an infection. Therefore, you can apply a clean spoon chilled in the freezer or a heating pad (plastic bottle) filled with ice.

Cold causes a sharp constriction of blood vessels and stops bleeding. But you can keep it continuously for up to 2-3 minutes, so as not to provoke hypothermia and frostbite of the skin. At the same time, such therapy will quickly remove swelling, which also often occurs after mesotherapy.

Ointments

Tiny bruises are not worth attention - they will last a maximum of 3-4 days and then go away on their own without any treatment. The resorption of large bruises can be accelerated if you use pharmaceutical drugs from the second day. Here's what experts recommend applying to bruises after facial mesotherapy:

1. "Troxevasin". It effectively helps not only against bruises, but also against hematomas. They are dangerous because if they are located very deep or very hardened, they have to be removed surgically. The main active ingredient of the ointment is troxerutin. It penetrates the walls of capillaries and strengthens them. At the same time, the ointment stops inflammatory processes and promotes rapid healing of injection wounds.
2. Heparin ointment. The cheapest, but very effective remedy for quickly eliminating bruises. More modern drugs have also been created on the basis of heparin: “Lioton”, “Lavenum” and others. But the principle of their action is the same: heparin has an antithrombotic effect, and also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Blood that gets under the skin quickly resolves, as the ointment prevents it from hardening.
3. Badyaga. In its pure form it is a powder of an aquatic inhabitant - sponges. It has a local irritant effect on the skin and stimulates capillary blood circulation, due to which bruises resolve very quickly. But it is not recommended to use this product after a dermaroller or mesotherapy performed with a gun - it can cause severe skin irritation.
4. "Girundin". Or other ointments and creams based on leech extract. Their saliva contains components that prevent blood clotting. Therefore, the effect of such drugs is similar in mechanism to heparin ointment. Bruises do not harden and disappear much faster.
5. "Rescuer". An almost natural remedy, which contains: sea buckthorn oil, echinacea extract, essential oils of lavender and tea tree, turpentine, beeswax, vitamin E. The ointment is hypoallergenic, perfectly softens the skin, forms a thin protective film on it and quickly relieves inflammation and pain.

This is a list of only the most popular and effective remedies. In fact, there are many more of them, and an experienced pharmacist will definitely select the right product for you, focusing on the size of the bruises, their condition and skin type.

Electroprocedures

Hardware procedures provide excellent results in the fight against bruises and hematomas after mesotherapy on the face. They can be done in a salon or purchased portable devices for home use. Such investments are justified because the devices also provide a rejuvenating effect.

Massage

Massage perfectly removes subcutaneous hemorrhages. Therefore, many begin to use it in order to eliminate the negative consequences of mesotherapy. This is strictly forbidden to do in the first 48 hours - the microchannels made by the needle have not yet completely closed and the face can easily become infected.

In addition, if a sufficiently large vessel was hit, it has not yet had time to thrombose well and intense pressure can provoke subcutaneous bleeding and only increase the area of ​​bruising. They begin to massage the face no earlier than 3-4 days after the procedure. And this must be done very carefully.

In this case, consultation with a specialist is clearly indicated. He will determine the severity of the problem and tell you how to deal with it quickly.

Effect of mesotherapy

Injections are made into the middle layer of the skin using an individually formulated meso-cocktail with a syringe with a very thin needle. It may contain vitamins, amino acids, medicinal herbs, hyaluronic acid and other useful components. With the help of an injection, the substances penetrate deep into the skin of the face and have a direct effect, unlike cosmetics.

The main principle of mesotherapy is rarely, little and in the right place.

At the site of penetration of the cocktail, nerve receptors are irritated, the division of new cells is stimulated, blood circulation improves, and the cells receive a sufficient amount of oxygen.

As a result:

• Skin tone increases;
• Small wrinkles are smoothed out;
• Bags under the eyes disappear;
• Nasolabial folds are smoothed;
• Improves complexion.

Cell regeneration accelerates and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized, so the oily sheen of the skin disappears, scars and scars are reduced. After the rejuvenating course, the production of collagen and elastin is enhanced, metabolic processes in tissues are stimulated.

In addition, mesotherapy has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, helps eliminate free radicals. The procedure helps to effectively fight acne (only in the remission stage) by cleansing the facial pores of sebaceous plugs and relieving inflammation.

How often can the procedures be done?

Only a cosmetologist can give information about how many sessions of facial mesotherapy you need to do. To do this, you need to undergo an examination and identify possible contraindications to the anti-aging procedure. Taking into account the skin condition and indications, an individual course is drawn up.

In total, it is recommended to undergo from 6 to 10 sessions, with a break of one week. It is worth maintaining the rejuvenating effect and conducting a repeat course of mesotherapy no more than once a year, so as not to cause addiction to the skin.

The visible result of lifting occurs after the first procedure and becomes maximum by the end of the course. To completely restore and improve facial contours, 5-7 sessions are needed. In order to get rid of acne, you will need about 12 rejuvenating sessions.

Despite its high efficiency, mesotherapy is not able to solve all skin problems; this must be taken into account when choosing a rejuvenation method. In order to prolong the anti-aging effect, you can combine this technique with other procedures, proper nutrition and exercise.

Facial mesotherapy should be done if there are the following indications:

1. Dark circles in the eye area;
2. Early skin aging;
3. Acne;
4. Oily skin;
5. Spider veins;
6. Dull complexion;
7. Pigmentation, freckles;
8. Wrinkles;
9. Scars, scars.

Cellulite, sagging skin or general aging may also be an indication for body mesotherapy. The rejuvenation procedure is often combined with laser resurfacing, peeling or dermabrasion. In many cases, mesotherapy can be part of complex preparation for plastic facial correction.

How to choose products for a meso cocktail

For injection into the skin in beauty salons, the following are usually used:

• Means to improve blood flow;
• Fat-breaking drugs;
• Hyaluronic acid;
• Complexes of vitamins and collagen.

The substance is selected individually in the absence of an allergic reaction to it.

Each of these components has a unique effect and can be used individually or in combination. Vitamins help deliver useful and nutritious substances to the skin, and collagen promotes the production and strengthening of collagen fibers. Phospholipids increase tissue elasticity, and salts (magnesium, silicon) strengthen tissues and improve cell nutrition.

Hyaluronic acid is most often used in cosmetology for anti-aging procedures, as it rarely causes side effects and gives high results.

Hyaluronic acid is found in the human body in all intercellular fluids and is responsible for the amount of moisture in cells. With age, there is a loss of this substance, and the skin becomes too dry and flabby. Once introduced into the skin, hyaluronic acid helps to reliably retain fluid in cells and delay the aging process.

Possible consequences and complications after non-injection mesotherapy

Correctly selected meso-cocktail composition, adherence to the technology of applying it to the skin, and proper use of the device minimize the risk of complications and negative consequences. However, the possibility of having a bad experience exists.

Therefore, it is important to know the possible consequences and complications of the procedure:

• allergy;
• degenerative changes in the epidermis;
• introduction of infection;
• slight redness for several hours (resolves under the influence of a soothing and softening cream);
• swelling as a reaction to laser, magnetic or ultrasound effects;
• post-traumatic lymphostasis.

If you want to avoid the listed manifestations, be sure to follow the rules of the rehabilitation period and skin care tips.

How much does non-injection mesotherapy cost in a salon?

The price of hardware rejuvenation differs in different cities. It depends on several indicators:

• dosage of active substances;
• the hardware technique used;
• number of treated areas;
• composition of meso cocktails;
• skin condition before the start of the course of procedures;
• the level of the clinic and the qualifications of the employees working in it.

So how much does non-injection facial mesotherapy cost? In metropolitan clinics, you will have to pay an average of 2,000–6,000 rubles for one session. Prices for treating the décolleté area start at 4,000 rubles. In regions they can be lower, from 1500 rubles per session.

Why do bruises appear and how long do they last?

Minor bruises after mesotherapy are not complications; these manifestations disappear on their own after 10-14 days. During the procedure, hemorrhages occur; they occur when the skin and blood vessels are damaged.

In addition, there are a number of reasons that cause the appearance of unpleasant bruises, hematomas, and hemorrhages:

• Severe fragility of vascular walls. This condition can be hereditary or acquired, for example, due to excessive smoking. In this case, many large and clear bruises are formed;
• Problems with blood clotting. A congenital condition, it can also occur with the use of thinning medications. During it, no injections can be performed;
• Introduction of fillers with increased density. This may be due to enlargement of the lips or cheekbone area. It often causes severe pressure and trauma to the vessels located in the injection area. The appearance of large hematomas will be a mild complication; in this condition, a complete stop of blood supply to the affected area of ​​​​the skin may occur, followed by necrosis;
• Failure of the patient to comply with recommendations in the postoperative period. Excessive smoking, drinking drinks containing alcohol, actively visiting baths, saunas, sunbathing, solariums, putting pressure on the injection area, all this causes additional stress on the blood vessels, which increases their fragility.
