Find your aftercare guideWhat to Expect
- Mild redness, swelling, tenderness or small bumps at the injection sites are common and settle within a few days
- Bruising can happen and usually fades within a week or so
- Anti-wrinkle injections take several days to start working, with the full effect at about two weeks; fillers can be seen straight away but settle over a couple of weeks
