Can Sofwave be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Sofwave pairs well with injectables, skincare, facials, and other aesthetic treatments.

Bruising (ecchymosis) is a normal response that can occur after injectable treatments. It happens when a small blood vessel is disrupted during treatment, allowing a small amount of blood to collect under the skin. Because the face contains many delicate blood vessels, bruising can occur even with precise technique.

What factors contribute to bruising?

Several factors may increase the likelihood of bruising, including:

• Certain medications (such as ibuprofen and other blood-thinning agents)

• Vitamin E and some supplements

• Alcohol consumption prior to treatment

• Menstrual cycle timing

• Recent illness or infection

• Individual skin and vascular differences

• Treatment area and injection technique

How can I help reduce the risk of bruising?

• Avoid alcohol for several days prior to treatment when possible

• Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements unless medically necessary (always consult your provider first)

• Avoid strenuous exercise immediately before and after treatment

• Schedule treatment outside of your menstrual cycle if possible

Will I bruise?

Bruising is always a possible side effect of injectable treatments and can range from mild to more noticeable. In most cases, bruises resolve on their own within 1–14 days without intervention.

If you experience bruising, we are happy to assess it by photo or in person to ensure proper healing.
