Ecchymoses, caused by extravascular leakage of red blood cells into soft tissue, commonly develop as a result of accidental trauma during cosmetic procedures. Several therapeutic modalities, including topical vitamin K cream alone or in combination with retinol cream, oral arnica, and topical arnica have been reported to effectively reduce posttraumatic bruising. In addition, treatment of ecchymoses with a 595-nm pulsed-dye laser after facial cosmetic procedures has been shown to be safe and effective. In the current report, we treated a patient with bruising along the abdomen and flanks, which developed after a cryolipolysis procedure. We treated the ecchymotic lesions in our patient with a 595-nm pulsed-dye laser on postoperative day 1 and observed remarkable recovery of the bruising, compared to the untreated control lesions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
