You will need to wait 30 minutes at the clinic to see the result of the patch test. Sign of allergic reaction are swelling, rash and redness at the injection site. If there are no signs of allergy, the Hyaluronidase will be injected to the decided areas.
- Numbing cream can be applied on the areas that need dissolving 15-20 minutes before the injection.
- Hyaluronidase enzyme injection at the affected / problematic areas
