Moreover, we ensure to apply pressure and ice following injection to prevent bruising.
You will be able to see the results of your Hylenex® treatment immediately. However, the full effects generally take a few days to two weeks for the filler resolver to fully integrate with your natural tissue and for any residual swelling to subside.
