Abstract:
Bruising after cosmetic procedures, such as botulinum toxin injections or dermal fillers, is a frequent complication. We present a new, detailed protocol using different types of lasers at various stages of bruise progression to optimize treatment effectiveness. This comprehensive protocol strategically integrates photoacoustic and photothermal effects, progressively adapting laser parameters to bruise maturation phases for maximal efficacy, thus offering a unified, efficient approach to managing postprocedural bruising.
