Injecting

[miaxo]

I was thinking about how many times a person has to inject in their lifetime and the effects on the skin. I mean you have to pierce the skin personally, up to 6 times a day and thinking how many years you'd have to do that is alot on skin injury. For those people who was diagnosed and have been injecting for over 20 years could you shed some light on the effects please?

Yes. It's called lipoatrophy. Give it a Google!

No, i know what lipos are i regularly get them but i mean like to the actual skin. Cause the needle had to break the skin so i was thinking more along those lines

I've been doing it for close on 54 years and no problems,even with needles that I used for the first few years and they were like scaffold tubes!

No the skin should heal quite quickly under normal circumstances, it's the lipo problems that can appear under the skin from over-injecting that causes the problems, I'm using pump now and even though the cannula is inserted into the skin for 3 days it still recovers well without any issues.
