After your face is prepped, your provider will inject one or more syringes into their injection sites and slowly release the gel. Simple injections will take approximately 15 minutes with more nuanced procedures lasting longer.
Post-Injection
Once the fluid has settled, your provider will once again clean off the injection site and update you on your post-injection directions.
