Book excerpt: "With a continued increase in popularity of aesthetic procedures, bruising, a visible side effect, reached a national incidence of 68% with averages between 25-35%. Patients of a south Florida medical spa, with a bruising occurrence of 27%, participated in a two-phase evidence-based practice educational module related to bruising management and prevention. The program explored medications, supplements, food, cold and heat therapies, and lifestyle implications related to bruising. Comparisons of the pretest and posttest results administered demonstrated a 41.2% increase in knowledge related to the management and prevention of bruising. Additionally, results of a telephone follow up performed five days post procedure indicated an 88.1% decrease in the incidence of bruising complications. The results of this evidence-based educational module will aid patients to take a more active role in the improvement of outcomes and satisfaction in aesthetic procedures.
