To prevent the injected substance from spreading to areas where you do not want it, you’ll need to take a few precautions:
- Do not rub or massage the areas where you received the injections.
- If you apply makeup, take care not to press or rub it in.
- Wait two hours before you engage in strenuous physical activity. This includes lifting heavy items, working out, and any other physical activity that raises your heart rate.
If a patient develops side effects, these tend to be mild and temporary. The injections cause the mildest side effects. For example, a patient may occasionally bruise. If this happens, the bruising lasts about a week.
After receiving injections, people may experience swelling, redness, soreness, bruising, a mild headache, etc., which lasts for a few hours to a day.
