These usually go away within 10-15 minutes of injection. Red raised areas at the site of injections. These should disappear within a day or so. Brown lines or spots on the skin at the treated sites. These are probably due to blood escaping from treated vessels under the skin.
Larger vessels have a higher risk of forming brown spots or lines when treated.
In most cases they disappear within a year, but in a small percentage of patients they may last longer. Development of groups of fine, red blood vessels near the sites of injection. Small, painful ulcers at treatment sites either immediately or within a few days of injection. These occur when some of the solution escapes into the surrounding skin. These can be treated, but it is necessary to notify our office immediately of their occurrence.
