It is important to understand that any procedure carries a risk of side effects. An injection of dermal filler can have two sources of skin reactions: from the injection itself and from the dermal filler. Based on the clinical trials, you may experience skin discoloration (bruising), swelling, redness, tenderness, pain, itching, or small bumps in the area where you are injected as well as a headache. If 6 (13) any of these side effects occur, the majority are mild to moderate reactions that disappear within a week or two. If any symptom lasts longer than 2 weeks, you should call your doctor. In a clinical study on cheek injections using a needle, 3 people out of 100 (3%) had the following delayed injection site reactions up to 138 days after treatment:
- Redness
- Bruising
- Inflammation
- Bumps
- Pain
- Swelling
- Warmth
- Hardening
