WHAT’S NORMAL AFTER A PROCEDURE?
Injections can cause small amounts of swelling, a temporary bump, redness, bruising, a mild
to moderate headache, and sensations such as tingling or mild itching after the treatments.
These effects are so common they can be considered a normal part of the process.
The initial effects will show in the first 2-5 days. Peak effect on the muscle is at 14 days, but
the result will continue to improve for 4 weeks or more. The benefits start to wear off after
3-4 months on average.
