Please note that you can expect some bruising. This varies between patients. Should you bruise, this generally resolves in 2 to 3 days but on occasion, bruising may be more significant and can last up to 7 to 10 days. You may also notice some lumps and bumps. It is normal to feel “firmness” in the injection area for the first few days after the treatment. Over the next few weeks, the area will soften, leaving you with a natural looking results.
