Following your injections, normal activities can be resumed immediately. Discomfort is minimal although the area treated might have a little swelling which may last a few hours. There may also be some slight bruising which can be covered with make-up. Depending on the area treated, correction can last up to six months or longer. If the lips are treated, initial swelling and tenderness may occur within the first several days but subsides after two or three days.
