Have you ever wondered what might happen if a treatment goes wrong? Most likely you have.
And the fact is that as human beings, we have a natural born instinct for survival, which makes us activate our alarm system every so often.
That’s why today I’ve come to tell you about a topic that very few beauty clinics talk to you about, but that could happen, not to alarm you, but so that you have the information in your hands and can make better decisions.
✅ First of all, what is necrosis?
As with any cosmetic procedure, complications are likely to occur. One of the most dangerous is vascular occlusion, which occurs when hyaluronic acid is deposited inside a blood vessel.
As a result, normal blood flow is blocked, preventing blood from continuing to circulate and carry oxygen to the tissues.
The result? Skin necrosis, which equals tissue death.
✅ What are the symptoms before necrosis?
Among the signs and symptoms that the patient may present are:
- Initially whitening of the skin.
- Subsequently sharp pain and redness in the applied region.
- After a few minutes, the livedo reticularis phase will appear, i.e. a reddish to blue discoloration of the skin, which should be carefully observed to avoid imminent progression to necrosis.
⚠️ Attention ⚠️
It is important that if you suspect the presence of any of these symptoms you should see your doctor as soon as possible, in order to minimize the risk of sequelae such as scarring.
✅ Hyaluronic acid fillers are still safe
The application of facial fillers is one of the most demanded non-surgical procedures worldwide.
The reason? They correct:
- Expression lines.
- Post-surgical effects.
- Volume replacement.
Today hyaluronic acid is one of the safest injection materials, being a natural polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate) present in all living beings.
Hyaluronic acid doesn’t generate immunological activity. Therefore, it is biocompatible with the organism. In addition, it has minimal adverse effects and is reversible.
Just as you read it: it has minimal adverse effects.
With this we do not want to minimize the risk of necrosis, we want you to know that it is probable, but one in a million and only if you fall into the wrong hands.
✅ And if I already have necrosis… how do I correct it?
Although they are infrequent incidents, they are considered an emergency, which requires immediate medical attention.
Fortunately, there is an antidote called hyaluronidase, which is an enzyme that allows us to degrade the acid and return the blood to the circulation.
If, on the other hand, you have not yet had a hyaluronic acid filler and want to do it safely, we recommend the following:
- Go to a licensed health care professional.
- Validate that the practitioner evaluates your facial anatomy.
- Ensure that the application of the products complies with regulations.
