WHAT TO EXPECT:

The listed below are all normal side effects and should self resolve within a few days.

Swelling/lumps (Expected time prior to bumps subsiding can be 3-5 days)
Bruising
Redness
Tenderness

More severe complications may include:

Pain out of proportion to the expected post treatment discomfort
Severe swelling
Possible allergic reaction
Blanching or whitening of the skin
Visual disturbances

Swelling

Swelling after the Rejuran treatment is expected. The swelling is often localised and resembles small lumps. As the product spreads the swelling (or ‘lumps’) will dissipate.

The swelling will resolve within 3-5 days and does not require any intervention. If the swelling persists for more than 5 days please contact the clinic.

Swelling Relief

You can apply a cool compress for 10 minutes every hour on treatment day.

Bruising

Bruising is a common and expected side effect. Bruising is not due to poor technique and will not alter the final result of your treatment. In order to reduce bruising, it is important to adhere to the aftercare regime.

Bruising Relief

Avoid any medications containing NSAIDs, aspirin, vitamin E and ginseng for the week prior and the week following treatment, unless medically necessary and after discussion with your doctor/nurse.
Apply a cool compress to the area for 10 minutes every hour on treatment day.
Apply topical Arnica or Hirudoid cream to the affected area.
