Skin boosters are injected as small deposits, so small raised bumps at the injection points are expected for a few hours to a day or two. Avoid make-up for about twelve hours, skip strenuous exercise, saunas and alcohol for a day, do not massage the bumps unless told to, and protect from sun. Many people are presentable the next day.
The small bumps at injection points flatten within hours to a day or two; with polynucleotides such as Rejuran they can last a little longer. Pinpoint bruises can appear. Use a gentle cleanser in the evening, avoid make-up for about twelve hours, and avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and alcohol for a day.
Normal skincare can usually restart the next day; pause retinoids and acids for a day or two if the skin feels sensitive. Do not massage the injection points unless you have been told to. Daily sunscreen supports the skin while it responds over the following weeks.
Bumps that are getting larger, redness and heat, or pain after the first day are not expected and should be checked.
