Botox has always been the go-to filler for most people who wish to hide the signs of aging. Dermal fillers have increased in popularity over the last few years as more and more clients discover the plumping benefits of these fillers. It is doubtful that you will experience any complications if you receive treatment from a professional medical center. Still, we have a few recommendations if you’ve had a botched job and now need to do damage control. Correcting a Botched Dermal Filler Treatment: What You Need to KnowDermal fillers have increased in popularity over the last few years as more and more clients see the positive effects of volume expansion to reverse the signs of aging in the face. It is improbable that you will experience any complications when you come to a professional medical center such as ours, but here are a few things that you should be aware of:What Exactly is a Dermal Filler?Dermal fillers are similar to Botox but are injected at other sites in the face. We use FDA approved fillers, and during our consultation, we will decide on the correct formulation for you, depending on what you want to gain from the injection.Fillers are more for filling up hollow areas in the face, or they can reduce the appearance of scars on the hands, but it is not approved to be used on other parts of the body. If you prefer plump, rosy cheeks or fuller lips, the fillers will have a lasting effect from six months to two years. What You Should Do When You’ve Experienced an Unfortunate Dermal Filler AppointmentFirstly, know the signs of the side effects you can expect and what shows that it’s gone terribly wrong.We can help you to fix a botched job and will likely give you the following treatments after consulting and analyzing the situation:

1. Bruising can be a normal symptom of a dermal filler injection, but it's undoubtedly a complication when it looks awful for days after. Applying a cold compress, arnica or laser treatment can help with bruising.
2. Swelling – if you’re still swollen after 24 hours, it might be edema – which is excess fluid trapped in your tissue. We can treat this with steroids until the filler resorbs.
3. Intravascular occlusions occur when the injection causes an embolism in an artery, restricting blood flow. Daily hyaluronidase injections can treat this until it clears up.
4. Loss of vision may also occur immediately after being injected. A digital massage or various medical treatments can be administered to restore vision which we can assist with after consultation.
5. Hyperpigmentation. Your skin might be sensitive to filler ingredients. Bleaching agents or chemical peels can help with this side effect, but in essence, it shouldn’t happen during a professional session.
6. The blue hue effect happens when the filler is injected into the dermis or superficial dermis. You are not supposed to have a change of skin color or a blue hue under the skin. This can last a long time, and we can remedy it through hyaluronidase injections.
7. Pain and swelling are typical side effects; when the area gets infected, though, you will need antibiotics or corticosteroid treatment.

I started coming here a couple months ago and I signed up for their membership. It's such a good deal, I would recommend it to anyone! I have had chemical peels, Botox and lip filler.
