{"df226ae8-fb69-4583-a72e-59db675487cd":"Q: What is the downtime after skin boosters?","c7f394f7-2697-451f-b233-0583f7d2fee4":"A: Downtime is usually minimal. Immediately after treatment, you may notice small injection marks with mild swelling or redness. These typically settle within 24–72 hours. Some patients experience light bruising, particularly in more delicate areas such as under the eyes. Most people feel comfortable returning to work and normal daily activities straight away. I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and avoiding makeup for 12 hours. If you have an important event coming up, allowing a 1-week buffer is sensible to account for any bruising."}
