The retrospective analysis revealed minimal adverse events such as pain, mild erythema, and edema, which were transient and resolved without intervention in a day or two. To date, no cases have recurred, “which we were surprised by,” Dr. Katz said. “We were surprised that the effect lasted that long.”
