What are the side effects of dermal fillers?

Dermal filler treatments are considered safe when administered by an experienced syringe, but they can have side effects.

The most common side effects include redness, bruising or asymmetry at the injection site. Avoid aspirin, some supplements (high-dose vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and garlic), or other blood-thinning medications a week or two before your appointment to minimize bruising.

1.Allergic reactions (especially fillers from bovine collagen) and granulomas (hard lumps under the skin) are also possible.

2. If the filler doesn't dissolve quickly, inadvertently injecting the filler into a blood vessel, technically called a vascular occlusion, can lead to serious complications including tissue death or blindness - this is where to consider hyaluronic acid fillers and find out about the face Another reason for an anatomically experienced injector (such as a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon).

3. Do not use the filler if you have any infection on your face or near the injection site - it may spread or cause complications.

Many people think of injectable botulinum toxins like Botulinum Toxin and Meditoxin as fillers, but they work in a completely different way: fillers add volume, while neurotoxins like Botulinum Toxin relax muscles to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and creases (and prevent more from forming). The effects of BTX last for 3 months or longer, depending on the area and disease being treated. It is important to note that although Botulinum Toxin is popular with most patients, some people should not get type A Botulinum Toxin injections. Most notably, this includes people who are allergic to the substance. Additionally, pregnant and lactating individuals, as well as those with neuromuscular disorders or muscle weakness, should exercise caution when using BTX. Common side effects of exposure to botulinum toxin type A include injection site reactions (including pain, swelling, infection, and bleeding), headache, and eye disorders.
