Small bruises, mild swelling and tenderness may occur temporarily after treatment. Persistent nodules, delayed inflammation, infection or uneven results should be medically assessed. Rare vascular complications can seriously affect tissue or vision. Severe pain, unusual skin discolouration or visual symptoms therefore require immediate medical attention.
Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur. Persistent nodules, delayed inflammation, infection or uneven results are possible. Accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue damage or serious visual complications. Seek urgent help for severe unusual pain, skin discolouration or visual changes.
