#FILLERS SIDE EFFECT SKIN#
However, it is important to let us know if you notice the skin changing colour or is painful between 12-24 hours after treatment. You don’t need to worry about this happening at SkinViva as our extremely experienced clinicians can reverse it immediately within our clinic. I’m telling you because it’s important you know what to do if that happens’ ‘I’m not telling you this because I’m trying to put you off having treatment or frighten you.
#FILLERS SIDE EFFECT PATCH#
If left uncorrected then this can cause the patch of skin to die and fall off. This is when filler can get stuck in a blood vessel and blocks blood from travelling through. The most serious reaction you can have is called Necrosis. It is important not to press as this can disturb the beautiful shape of your new lips. Wrap the compress and hold gently on the area. To help minimise the swelling you can put a cool pack on the area. The important thing is to not be alarmed and know that it will be worse during the first few days. This also depends on the filler as the standard filler attracts more water to the area, which would cause more swelling. The area where you are most likely to experience swelling is the lips. However, we will need to remove the make-up prior to treatment as this will minimise the risk of infection. You can wear make-up to the appointment if that is what makes you most comfortable. This is most common around the lip area as there are lots of little blood vessels there.īruising can take a few days to settle, but you can apply Arnica cream to help it go down.

Wherever a needle is used there is likely to be bruising. You can also have numbing cream in order to help you feel even more comfortable as possible. It will feel different to anti-wrinkle injections as it is a thicker needle. It can be slightly uncomfortable having dermal filler, however the pain is only minimal.

This is so you can make the best decision for you so you’re fully happy and comfortable. Whether you have or haven’t had treatment before, it is SO important that you know all the potential risks and side effects that come with having dermal filler.
