Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John's Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve and other NSAIDS that have blood thinning effects and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections. Taking Arnica and Bromelain may decrease the severity of bruising. 
• Schedule your dermal filler and/or Botox/Xeomin appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which you may be attending, such as a wedding or vacation. Bruising with both treatments and dermal filler swelling will be more apparent the first week after treatment.
