Thanks for posting your question. I have seen a handful of patients develop this redness after injection. In each case, the patient had very sensitive skin--the type that reacts to any manipulation. With some icing and Benadryl the redness resolved within a day or two. If this is how you would describe your skin, this redness may be secondary to the stimulation during needle injection. Be sure to contact the office where you received your injections for further guidance and/or evaluation. Good luck!
I suggest consulting your injector for further evaluation. This hypersensitivity reaction should be evaluated in person for further assessment. Best, Dr. Emer

If you had numbing cream applied prior to the injections you may have had a reaction to that. It's difficult to say for sure what is going on without seeing you in person. Take care,Dr. Elizabeth Geddes

I'm sorry that you are upset about your recent injection experience. It is possible that the hyaluronidase is simply not being injected in the correct location, but Voluma tends to require multiple rounds of injection to dissolve the product. Deep injection of Voluma over the bone is relatively...
