It takes at least a week for your hand to recover after a Xiaflex injection for Dupuytren's contracture, in some people it may take 2 to 4 weeks before they can fully use their hand again, especially if you have skin tears which will need daily wound care. If you have had a Xiaflex injection for Peyronie’s disease, the recovery time varies depending on how much pain or swelling is present but generally takes 2 to 4 weeks. You should not have sex or have any other sexual activity between the 2 injections of a treatment cycle and for at least 4 weeks after the second injection of a treatment cycle.
