Some of the side effects of using anti-wrinkle injections are mild and short-lived. Most commonly, the patients can expect mild bruising, tenderness, and/or swelling as well as redness at the injection site. The sensitivity of the facial skin usually subsides in an hour while bruising may take a week to resolve. Some patients also report experiencing slight headaches shortly after the treatment, but these usually resolve within 24 hours. When anti-wrinkle injections are provided by trained medical practitioners, the risks are minimal.
The potential adverse reactions of having anti-wrinkle injections that indicate prompt medical attention includes:
Extensive swelling or bruising
Troubled eating or swallowing
Double, blurred, or altered vision
Difficulty speaking or clearly saying words
Ptosis or drooping eyelid, sagging eyebrow, or drooping lower face
