Question:
I am planning on having Hyalurnic Acid done on the
lines that lead from nose to jawline. Has anyone had any bad side effects from
this filler?
Answer.Hyaluronic Acid is abundantly present in your skin.Rare complications may occur, It has been in use for many years and overall is a very safe treatment. Ac. Hialuronico has proven to be a fantastic treatment for the nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles
Although there are a lot of rare side effects that one will hear about, the most common side effects are temporary and not dangerous which are typically covered by makeup in the relatively unlikely instance they are noticeable, These include pain at injection site, swelling, bruising, redness and lumpiness. The redness and lumpiness will resolve without any complication.
Icing (cold compresses ) immediately after injection will reduce the swelling and the risk of bruising. Ac. Hialuronico can also cause some urticaria like reaction at injection sites, which resolve shortly after injection. Side effects increases when injecting the frown lines between the eyes so I would use caution and inject only a small amount
Two mainly complications are bruising and lumpiness. Bruising disappears in 2 days (or longer if you take Aspirin, Vitamin E, Garlic, Gingko or Ginseng) avoiding aspirin and anti inflammatory medication for two weeks prior to your injection and one week after . Lumpiness can be corrected at the time of the injection by massaging. there is also a condition called the Tyndall effect which occurs when hyaluronic acid product is injected too superficially. This effect is seen as a bluish or grayish haze on the skin and can be reversed with hyaluronidase (an enzyme that breaks down Restylane) injections.
There are also very, very rare reports of allergic or inflammatory reactions to Ac. Hialuronico(note: this is true with any of the fillers). infection, hematoma, discomfort, asymmetry, undesirable effect are posible and rare complications. This filler around the eyes has a higher chance of untoward effects and must be applied with great care. The other very rare complication is plugging up a blood vessel that can “choke” off the blood supply to the overlying skin which create a bad scab and then a discolored permanent scar. Hyaluronidase can be used immediately if this is noted and the filler gets dissolved and the complication can lessen.You should see the full-effects of your treatment in 7-14 days.
