The treatment began with a numbing cream that was left on my face and upper neck. While this would normally only be applied to the jawline, I was also treating other areas of my face.
Once my skin was completely numb after about 45 minutes, the dermal filler began. While the injections were relatively painless, the most surprising part was the crunching sound that occurred at the injection site—something Diamond explained was completely normal. Immediately following, I applied ice to ease any swelling.
I left the appointment with skin that looked red and slightly tender to the touch. In the following days, there was slight bruising, but it cleared up within several days. There was no downtime and the results were immediate.
