ABSTRACT
The procedure generally takes around 20 minutes, but may vary, depending on the treated area. Avoidance of sun exposure and smoking are recommended for the next 48 hours. There is no downtime or recovery time for this procedure (Figure 6.15). The patient will be back to regular activities immediately. This procedure can be carried out as a so-called ‘lunch hour treatment’. Mild erythema (Figures 6.16-6.19), a slight itching/burning sensation 5 minutes after injections, and small hematomas are sometimes possible (Figures 6.20-6.22).
