Yes, bruising or mild swelling at the injection site is a common side effect of lipotropic injections. Here’s why:
- Injections: Any injection carries the risk of minor bleeding and inflammation, which can manifest as bruising or swelling.
- Individual Response: The severity of bruising and swelling varies from person to person. Some individuals experience barely any discomfort, while others might be more prone to bruising.
- Typically Resolves Quickly: These side effects at the injection site are usually temporary and generally resolve within a few days.
Here are ways to minimize bruising and swelling:
- Qualified Professionals: Choosing a skilled injector, like those at AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills, reduces the risk of improper technique causing more significant bruising.
- Light Compression: After the injection, gentle pressure on the site can help minimize bleeding.
- Arnica: Some people find arnica supplements or topical creams helpful in reducing bruising.
