Immediately after your appointment, you can expect to experience some minor redness, pain, firmness, swelling and possibly small bumps in the area. However, these effects will be very mild and should clear up within one week (probably faster). If you experience swelling near the injection site, your injector may advise you to apply ice packs regularly to minimize these effects.
