The treated skin may be slightly red and splotchy after treatment, but only temporarily. The redness and unevenness should subside within a few hours.
More serious complications can occur if injectable treatment is administered by an inexperienced or unqualified injector. Some of the risks include infection at the injection site, lumps or bumps, more severe redness and skin rashes. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon or a qualified injector to perform your treatment is crucial to understanding and reducing your risk of complications. Your provider will go over these risks with you and help you decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
