Possible side effects: The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injection-site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. Most side effects are mild to moderate in nature, and last 7 days or less (less than 14 days for lips). As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
Dermal fillers should NOT be used in patients who have:
- Severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple severe allergies
- Patients with a history of allergies to Gram-positive bacterial proteins
- Avoid touching the treated area for 6 hours following treatment, so you do not accidentally move the product or injure you skin while the area is numb.
• Choosing this procedure does not guarantee or give an assurance of successful results. Results vary from patient to patient depending upon the individual, product used, and activities done. Additional treatments should be administered BEFORE the results have completely dissipated.
- BELOTERO Balance is an intradermal filler that replaces lost hyaluronic acid caused by the natural aging process. This soft cohesive gel quickly integrates into your skin for results that are instant.
- JUVÉDERM®/Vollure®/Revanesse Versa® is a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth.
- RADIESSE is a subdermal filler made up of biocompatible microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite, which is the same mineral your bones and teeth consist of, suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. The microspheres form a scaffold which stimulates the body to create new collagen around them.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water/moisture, and to act as a cushioning agent.
