Procedure
Your doctor assesses your skin and marks the treatment areas. A numbing cream goes on first. Your doctor then places the product in the deeper skin layer with a fine needle or cannula. The session takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Recovery
Expect mild swelling, redness or small bruises for 2 to 5 days. Most people return to normal activity the same day. Follow the massage instructions from your doctor where advised. Skip intense exercise and heat for 24 hours.
