Re: Aspirin / Bruising

[Guest guest]

Just something to keep in mind, Aspirin has been known to increase

your skin's probability to bruise. The doctors and techs doing

Photoderm treatments warn you, do not use Aspirin for 7-10 days

before a treatment. That also goes for things like Botox injections

or anything that could stress or injure the skin.

I have been told that Tylenol is the ONLY pain reliever you can use

prior to any activity like that, if you don't want to increase the

probability of bruising.

Really? That's so interesting. I've always been told not to take aspirin

for a month before elective surgeries, because aspirin thins the blood and

can cause excessive bleeding, but I hadn't heard about the bruising

connection. Thanks.
