1. Redness at the injection site: A small number of patients will experience local redness after the injection, which will disappear on its own in about 1 to 2 days.

2. Local bruising: If the needle accidentally touches the capillaries during the injection process, subcutaneous bruising may easily occur. For most patients, the bruise will disappear within half a month.

3. Excessive injection volume: During the injection process, the doctor did not accurately determine the injection volume. In case of serious overdose, the injection must be removed.

Collagen wrinkle removal is mainly suitable for facial chatter lines, crow's feet, wrinkles between the eyebrows, wrinkles between the nose and lips, juvenile acne scars, and skin atrophy caused by disease or trauma. Generally, collagen is injected once for wrinkle removal, and then injected again after 2 to 4 weeks. Depending on the depth of the wrinkles, collagen wrinkle removal can achieve the desired effect with an average of 2 to 3 injections. In addition, collagen wrinkle removal is not easy to correct for hard scars with overly clear edges. It is not recommended to use it in the orbital area, and the injection dose in the lip line area should be reduced appropriately. The collagen used for injection is a biological material made from animal collagen and is in the form of a milky white paste.
