Even gentle anti-aging procedures damage the skin, so swelling and bruising after biorevitalization are a common occurrence in cosmetology practice. Beauty injections, despite their safety and low trauma, often leave behind side effects.
When carrying out biorevitalization, cosmetologists make every effort to avoid the appearance of swelling, redness, papules and hematomas at the injection sites. However, this is not always possible: the result largely depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.
Why do hematomas appear, and how to get rid of them as soon as possible?

Biorevitalization and mesotherapy are low-traumatic procedures that have a minimum of contraindications. The injection cocktails used during the procedures include drugs that are similar to substances produced by the human body. Therefore, these drugs extremely rarely cause negative reactions. However, some people may still have individual intolerance to the components of the drug or anesthesia.
Side effects of injection procedures can manifest themselves in the form of swelling, bruising, bruising, redness or inflammation at the puncture site. And if the procedure technique is violated or the wrong dosage of the drug is chosen, more serious complications of mesotherapy or biorevitalization may occur.
Why do they appear
Even a child knows what bruises are - they are subcutaneous bruises that form as a result of damage to capillaries or small vessels. Their location under the skin is very individual, so even an experienced doctor runs the risk of getting a needle into them. If a little blood has spilled, the bruise will be small and will disappear quickly - usually by 3-4 days it becomes almost invisible.
With heavy discharge, hematomas can form - hardened clots of coagulated blood. This is already much worse and more dangerous.
Firstly, a dense formation compresses adjacent soft tissues and disrupts subcutaneous circulation. And secondly, it is perceived by the body as a foreign body and triggers strong immune reactions.
Possible consequences:
- Itching and redness. As a rule, this is a temporary phenomenon caused by the individual skin reaction to injections and damage. Most often, redness and itching go away on their own within two days. However, if your face itches or the redness persists longer, you should consult a doctor.
- Peeling of the skin. As in the first case, this may be a short-term reaction of the body to the injection. As a result of the procedure, new cells appear and old ones die. When this process is completed, the skin will no longer peel.
- Microhematomas, which usually go away on their own after a few days.
- Unpleasant sensations (tightness, heat). Some patients feel their face burning after injections. Usually we are talking about the body’s natural reaction to the puncture, which should go away naturally during the day. If a feeling of tightness occurs, you must follow the care recommendations of your cosmetologist.
Indications
Injection biorevitalization is carried out as a rejuvenating procedure. Indications for its use are the first signs of skin aging: dryness, loss of tone, multiple fine wrinkles, pronounced nasolacrimal groove. Done correctly, it eliminates these problems, as well as:
- reduce the depth of nasolabial folds;
- make the forehead smoother;
- remove crow's feet;
- eliminate bruises and bags under the eyes;
- raise the corners of the eyes and lips;
- deeply moisturize the skin;
- restore its firmness and elasticity;
- get rid of post-acne and small scars;
- slow down the aging process.
But this wonderful remedy cannot be abused. With constant introduction from the outside, the body stops producing it naturally. And after a few years, withdrawal syndrome develops, which is expressed in a sharp deterioration in the condition of the skin when the procedure is abandoned.
Biorevitalization: consequences and complications
Injection procedures may be accompanied not only by the temporary effects that we discussed above, but also by more serious side effects that require qualified medical attention. In these cases, you should not self-medicate. Otherwise, the negative consequences of the procedures may intensify and lead to even more serious complications.
Allergy
Some people have an allergic reaction to the anesthesia, the drug, or even the material the needle is made of. Allergies after biorevitalization or mesotherapy can manifest themselves in different forms. This may be allergic dermatitis, accompanied by persistent redness and sometimes blistering rashes.
When exposed to an allergen, a local anaphylactic reaction with itching, blisters and swelling may also develop. In rare situations, there may be anaphylactic shock, Quincke's edema and urticaria. In any case, if an allergy occurs, the help of a qualified doctor is necessary.
Inflammation and infections
Complications after biorevitalization or mesotherapy in the form of infection can occur if antiseptic standards are not observed during the procedure or if skin care is improper. As a result of the inflammatory process, the patient may develop small, painless nodules under the skin.
In case of inflammation and infection, you must immediately contact a specialist to avoid more serious consequences.
Skin depigmentation
This side effect is rarely encountered in practice. And the main reason is a violation of the technique of the procedure. Thus, if a filler gets into a vessel, the patient may experience quite severe pain, and the risk of subsequent skin depigmentation increases significantly.
Nodules and other structures under the skin
Sometimes there are quite serious consequences of mesotherapy: persistent lumps under the skin, prolonged redness, necrosis (death of an area) of the skin.
The causes of such complications may be inflammation against the background of an associated infection, impaired blood supply due to damage to a vessel, or ignoring serious contraindications to a cosmetic procedure.
In the absence of timely help, these consequences will not pass without a trace, and a person will remain with unesthetic skin defects for the rest of his life. Therefore, if you notice such consequences after biorevitalization or mesotherapy, immediately consult a doctor. This requires competent diagnosis and treatment, and sometimes surgical intervention.

Correction of complications
To avoid complications, never try to eliminate side effects after cosmetic procedures on your own. Only a specialist can correct negative consequences. At the same time, it is important that he has sufficient qualifications and experience, because your health and beauty depend on this.
Our clinic has a specialized department for dealing with complications after cosmetic procedures. The consultations are conducted by the best doctors of the clinic with many years of experience.
Summing up
According to many women, even if bruises after injection biorevitalization are not removed, they will go away on their own for a maximum of a few days. At this time, they can be easily disguised with concealer, foundation or lipstick (on the lips). So most people simply try not to pay attention to them.
In the photo you can see how hematomas stand out under the skin, which certainly should not be left unattended. At an early stage, they must be dealt with like ordinary bruises. But if they have hardened, you will have to use massage or physiotherapy so that you do not have to get rid of the compaction surgically.
How to remove bruises at home?
Of course, in this not the most pleasant and aesthetic situation, the question arises - how to remove bruises after lip augmentation? After all, every woman wants to enjoy the sight of beautiful lips, and not look at blue spots in the mirror.
Getting rid of bruises at home is not the most time-consuming process. The unpleasant consequences of a cosmetic procedure will disappear as quickly as possible if you follow a few simple recommendations:
Immediately after the procedure, you need to press your finger on your lips and fix it in this position for several minutes. This technique will help stop the spread of blood from damaged vessels. This is the only time when force can be applied to the lip area. In the future, mechanical impacts on this area should be avoided. It is acceptable to apply ice to the surface of the lips. The ice cube is first wrapped in a sterile napkin (the cold should not be scalding) and passed over the skin of the lips several times. You should not put pressure on the cube; movements should be light and smooth. This effect of cold promotes blood resorption, vasoconstriction, and pain relief. This procedure must be performed several times a day. It is not recommended to take a horizontal body position in the first 8 hours after the procedure. Otherwise, a rush of blood to the lips may occur, which will cause even greater vascular injury. In order for hematomas to resolve faster after lip augmentation, you need to sleep on a high pillow for the first days. Avoid exposure to high temperatures. Taking hot baths, sunbathing on the beach, visiting the bathhouse, sauna and solarium will have to be postponed until the bruises have completely healed. It is necessary to use special healing gels and ointments. Most often, bruises on the lips after enlargement are smeared with Heparin ointment, Troxevasin and Hepatrombin. Before using such products, you need to consult a cosmetologist - he will help you choose the best option for the treatment. Sports activities will have to be postponed, at least for a while
Physical activity accelerates blood circulation, which, in turn, interferes with the complete absorption of fluid in soft tissues. After the lip augmentation procedure, you need to pay close attention to your diet. So, the menu should include foods rich in vitamin K and ascorbic acid.
They are found in large quantities in broccoli, avocados, oranges, black currants, and walnuts. Such treats strengthen blood vessels and allow blood to clot faster.
When dealing with bruises, all means are good. So, medicinal plants and berries will help eliminate swelling. It is permissible to use the following natural medicines:
- Kalina. Strengthens the tone of blood vessels and skin, which means it will cope wonderfully with the problem of bruises and swelling. A lip mask made from viburnum, ground with honey, would be an excellent healing remedy.
- Aloe. A plant leaf is applied to the damaged areas for 20 minutes three times a day.
- Potato starch. It is mixed with mineral water to a paste. The mixture is applied to problem areas every two hours, leaving for 30 minutes for the first few days after the procedure.
- Sagebrush. A compress made from a solution of wormwood can also help damaged skin. Pour 3 teaspoons of the plant into a glass of boiling water and leave for 20 minutes. After cooling, soak a cotton pad in the solution and apply it to your lips. Repeat the procedure several times a day.
The whole truth about side effects after contouring
Injection methods of rejuvenation are gaining more and more popularity every year. Innovative lines of fillers are being produced, new procedures are being introduced, which increases the effectiveness of contouring. Of course, side effects are possible. However, they happen extremely rarely or are temporary.
However, most cosmetology centers are silent about unpleasant consequences. Such situations frighten clients, because they were not warned and are afraid of any unwanted manifestations.
Let's look at the possible side effects of contouring and find out the whole truth about them:
- What should women be prepared for after the session?
- Is it possible to prevent their occurrence?
- What to do if they arise?
Side effects of contouring
According to statistics, unpleasant consequences from rejuvenation procedures are recorded in less than 5% of cases. The likelihood of their occurrence, although small, is still there and you need to be prepared for it.
List of possible side effects after contouring :
- Strong pain. Fillers are injected. Piercing the skin with a needle is an unpleasant process, especially in delicate areas - the lips. Advanced modern drugs include the local anesthetic lidocaine. Pain sensations are reduced by 50% or more, but in some women sensitivity is increased and such manipulations are accompanied by discomfort.
- Hematomas (bruises). All facial tissues are penetrated by small capillaries and nerve endings. When the needle is inserted, they are touched and injured. This is where bruises occur. They dissolve on their own.
- Edema . This is a normal reaction of the body to the injection of filler under the skin. The drug attracts fluid from neighboring tissues. After a few days, the swelling subsides and only the desired volume remains, for which the cocktail was introduced.
- Inflammation . Occurs when sanitary standards are not observed. In modern aesthetic medicine, such cases are very rare. However, if you turn to an incompetent doctor or even go to do the procedure at home, then the risks of inflammation increase several times.
- Allergic reaction. This is an inadequate immune response to the injected filler in case of individual intolerance to the drug. This point is completely dependent on the characteristics of the body.
- Consolidation or migration of filler . The gel may bulge, forming globules, bumps, and lumps. This situation is typical when the filler is injected very superficially or too deeply. This is often a mistake made by an inexperienced cosmetologist. This may also be due to the anatomical features of the face: in mature women, voids form under the skin with age. This is where the filler migrates. Movement of the gel is noted when rubbing or massaging the injection site in the first few days after the session.
- Vascular trauma or embolism. No specialist is immune from this. Similar problems are typical for areas with abundant blood supply - the nasolabial triangle. We are not talking about capillaries, but about larger units - arteries and veins. If you inject too much filler near a vessel, the gel will crush it. The passage of blood becomes difficult and tissue ischemia (oxygen starvation) occurs. If the drug gets directly into the lumen of the vessel, it becomes clogged. In the absence of medical accommodation, necrosis may develop.
Help and prevention for side effects after contouring
Severe pain can be suppressed using fillers that contain lidocaine. It is not recommended to touch the puncture site and try to somehow “stretch” the gel. This will only increase tissue trauma and increase discomfort. If the pain is excessively intense, you should consult a doctor. Perhaps this is an individual feature - high sensitivity and it will be enough to take a painkiller, or maybe this is a more serious complication.
Hematomas and swelling go away on their own if you follow all the doctor’s recommendations for skin care after contouring. These side effects cannot be prevented. The cosmetologist will advise you on the necessary creams or ointments, and will also advise you on the rules of the recovery period.
Inflammatory processes at injection sites begin when sterility is violated during the procedure. A professional will not make such mistakes, which once again proves the prestige of cosmetology centers. It is not recommended to contact doctors at home or even turn to “self-taught” doctors. If inflammation occurs in the area of the needle puncture, you should immediately consult a doctor. The solution often requires surgery.
No one is protected from allergies Hyaluronic acid is a substance produced by the human body, so its rejection is impossible. But the anesthetic lidocaine, which is part of the fillers, can activate the immune system and cause an inadequate reaction. Before performing contour plastic surgery, the specialist carefully interviews the client and finds out the possibility of allergies. If the reaction has already begun, the doctor will provide the necessary assistance and advise on further tactics.
Compaction and migration of filler can only be eliminated with an additional session. The drug hyaluronidase is injected. Roughly speaking, this is a “cancellation” procedure. The substance destroys and removes previously incorrectly administered hyaluronic acid from the body. If we are talking about a filler on a different basis (collagen, Radiesse), then you will need to wait several months until it resolves on its own. To avoid a similar negative experience, you must carefully search for a professional cosmetologist.
If a large vessel was damaged during contouring , the specialist will provide you with the necessary assistance and advise on further care of the intervention area. If you experience sharp pain, intense redness, a burning sensation or other discomfort, you should contact your cosmetologist. Perhaps this is just excessive sensitivity or a hematoma, or maybe a sign of tissue ischemia when the vessel is compressed. You should not wait and be patient, because this can lead to necrosis or infection of the puncture site. Damage or compression of the vessel cannot be prevented.
How to remove bruises that appear after injections?
To prevent bruises, before a course of injections, it is advisable to drink vitamins A and C - they strengthen the walls of blood vessels. There is no need to sit or lie down immediately after the injection; it is better to walk around for a while so that the medicine dissipates faster.
If bruises do appear, consult your doctor about how to quickly get rid of them. You can independently alleviate the condition and get rid of hematomas using folk remedies.
- an iodine mesh is applied to the injection site until the bruise completely disappears;
- light massage accelerates the resorption of hematomas;
- a cabbage leaf compress with honey is applied to the injection site and left overnight;
- a cake made from green clay, water and salt, which is applied to the inflamed area at night.
Regular pharmacy ointments will help get rid of bruises. But you shouldn’t use all the remedies at once; choose one recipe.
In the treatment of some diseases, injections of drugs cannot be avoided. However, in some cases, very unpleasant consequences appear after such treatment - bruises on the buttocks. Most often this is the effect of rapid administration of the drug. Bruises and bumps can appear from a single injection or as a result of multiple intramuscular manipulations.
