When Should You Get Injectables Around The Holidays?

One of the first and most important things to understand about injectables is how long it will take to get them and what your results/recovery will be like immediately after you get them. First and foremost, the entire injectable process can take less than an hour at most practices. This includes both a quick consultation and the treatment window. Injectables are a quick and routine when you go to a master injector in your area. But what about downtime and recovery? 

You may have heard that injectables has no downtime. This is true, but it is important to understand that fully. Downtime is usually understood in a medical sense. Some procedures, especially treatments offered by cosmetic surgeons or dermatologists might require rest as part of the recovery process. While injectables do not require rest, they can have some common side effects. Swelling, redness, tenderness, and minor bruising can all occur directly following an injectable appointment. These minor symptoms can last a few hours to a day or two. So if you are planning to get injectables you might want to have a clear schedule directly following your appointment.
