Side effects:
- Swelling: Common at the injection site and usually resolves within a few days.
- Bruising: Can occur due to needle penetration and generally fades within a week.
- Redness: Temporary and typically subsides shortly after treatment
- Pain or tenderness: Mild discomfort can occur but usually diminishes quickly.
- Lumps or bumps: May develop if the filler is unevenly distributed.
- Itching or rash: Allergic reactions are rare but possible.
- Infection: Although rare, there’s a risk of infection at the injection site.
More serious but uncommon side effects can include:
- Vascular occlusion: If the filler is injected into a blood vessel, it can block blood flow, leading to tissue damage.
- Nodules or granulomas: These can form if the body reacts to the filler.
- Vision changes: Rarely, if injected improperly near the eyes.
Postcare (After Treatment):
- For 24hrs: avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages in order to help minimise the risk of temporary redness, swelling and or itching.
