Tissue effects were measured from WI removal post-injection through 24 hours with calipers (wheals) or graded on a 5-point scale (erythema, bleeding) from 0-none to 4-severe, significant, respectively. Where tissue effects were observed, the majority (>50%) were resolved within 60 minutes and all within 24 hours. Subject pain (100mm VAS) peaked mid-injection (mean 9.1mm, SD 13.4) and rapidly resolved within 30 minutes (mean 0 .4mm, SD 2.6). Subjects found acceptable (Likert agree + strongly agree or yes responses) their peak pain (≥90.2%), injection site appearance (≥92.2% ).ii Woodley, W. D. et al.
