Abstract
|
|
|
|
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 post-traumatic 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.
