Good afternoon i would like to ask if i can use algeness injections because I have autoimmune disease and I suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus, transverse myelite.

Answer: Good afternoon, I am unsure what do you mean by algeness injections. If you question is about dermal fillers the best would be to book with a medic aesthetic practicioner and dicuss if you condition is stable in enough to have treatment and what are the risks involved. Kind regards, Dr Raquel Amado

Answer: Hello Aliki

I would only use a reversible hyaluronic acid for anyone with an autoimmune disorder. When your body attacks itself it is more likely to reject any product so only have a product that can be removed easily.

I hope this is helpful
Best

Answer: Good afternoon Aliki,

Thank you for getting in touch.

We wouldn't be able to comment on Algeness as this isn't something we use in our clinic, we only work with HA fillers.

I'm sorry we weren't able to help in this instance.

Kind regards

Answer: Good morning Aliki,
Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately we do not use this brand of injectable and therefore would suggest you consult with the practitioner who will be performing the treatment.

Best wishes,

Answer: Dear Aliki
Thank you for your question
I believe there is still a small amount of HA in algeness and therefore I would be a little reluctant going for this.

There are other alternative treatments for patients with underlying autoimmune disease such as plasma gel (from your own plasma with no added chemicals) and fat micro transplantation.
Take a look at our website , or feel free to book a consultation
Thank you

Answer: Good morning and thank you for your query.
I think as you have these conditions I would ask your specialist to give guidance here for this treatment.
In this instance this is what I would do in our clinics.

Kind regards

Answer: Hi Aliki,

Unfortunately, we are not a clinic that uses algeness, so unfortunately, we would not be able to provide an answer.
Please ask a clinic that uses this particular brand.

Kind regards,
