The Risks of Dermal Filler Treatment
Non-surgical rejuvenation with dermal fillers is low risk compared to undergoing a surgical facelift. We use local anaesthetic to numb the area prior to injection, so pain is kept to a minimum and you are awake throughout the procedure.
Like with any injections, swelling, itching and redness are normal after a dermal filler treatment and generally calm down after a few hours, while bruising can occur.
Allergic reactions are very rare but can happen. The most serious risk is vascular occlusion – when a blood vessel gets blocked – which can lead to tissue death and, in extreme but again very rare circumstances, blindness.
