As with any injectable wrinkle filler, you can expect mild swelling and redness at the treatment site. These side effects common among dermal fillers are usually temporary. Occasionally, there is mild bruising that typically disappears in three to seven days. Less common side effects include rash and itching more than 48 hours after treatment, persistent swelling or redness, and increased sensitivity at some or all injection sites. Two other rare potential side effects of all dermal fillers may be lumps and granulomas, both of which can be treated by your physician.
Call your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual skin reactions around the treatment area.
