Dermal Filler Side Effects and Risks

  1. 1. Dermal Filler Side Effects

Dermal fillers are an effective way to reduce the signs of ageing and enhance facial features such as lips. This article addresses some dermal filler side effects, risks, and considerations.

Dermal filler injections can be used to reduce lines such as crow’s feets and frown lines. Fillers can also be used to plumpen the lips, cheeks, and chin. Regardless of your goals, prior to any treatment, you will receive a consultation with our doctor or prescribing nurse. This is an excellent opportunity for you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have about dermal fillers treatments.

Dermal Filler Side Effects and Risks

Dermal fillers are becoming more and more popular. In 2016, this industry saw a 16 percent increase in sales. Like Botox, dermal fillers erase wrinkles and other signs of ageing. They also plump up the lips and reduce scarring.

This treatment can give you a more youthful look and take years off your face. The results are immediate and last for over 12 months. Dermal fillers can be also used for lifting your jawline, chin, and cheeks. Unfortunately, these benefits come at a price. The side effects of dermal filler injections are more severe than those of Botox.

Dermal Filler Side Effects

Dermal filler side effects are often rare and shortlived, however, patients can experience mild or moderate adverse reactions, such as redness, numbness, itching, and bruising. In rare cases, this treatment may cause blindness, blue-tinged flesh, and facial collapse. Other potential side effects include:

  • Granulomas
  • Nodules
  • Bumps
  • Cysts
  • Allergic reactions
  • Skin cell death
  • Tissue necrosis

Most times, these adverse reactions are caused by improper dosage or incorrect injection technique. For example, if the filler is injected into a blood vessel, it may lead to complications.

Both dermal fillers and Botox have minimal side effects. Severe reactions are rare. Before receiving treatment, discuss with a specialist. Let him know if you smoke or have underlying diseases.

Also, tell him what medications and supplements you’re taking. The ingredients in prescription drugs and other medicines can interact with Botox. Blood thinners, for instance, may increase bruising at the site of injection.

If you’re in good health, these procedures are unlikely to cause any harm. Additionally, most side effects go away within hours. To stay safe, choose an experienced plastic surgeon.

I’ve just had RF, Hifu treatment, and fat freezing at the Leeds Vivo.
Mobina carried out this treatment and she is v knowledgable, professional and attentive throughout. I’ve got my next appointment booked & can’t wait to see the results after that session.
I would highly recommend this treatment and Mobina.

Had Hifu and lemon bottle injections for double chin . Went well and looking forward for the results in the coming weeks. The specialist therapist is very accommodating, explaining carefully to me every steps she is performing and this makes me feel at ease and comfortable. The procedure itself is somewhat uncomfortable as it is painful but it is tolerable. Booked my next session.
