Downtime is usually minimal, though some patients may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising, or redness near the injection sites. Your provider will explain aftercare and what to expect before you leave your appointment.

After treatment, you will need to follow the 5-5-5 rule. You must massage your face for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This is important as it prevents nodules and stimulates collagen production.
