The possible side effects of Skin Boosters include but are not limited to:
BLEEDING & BRUISING: It is possible, though unusual, to have a bleeding episode from aSkin Booster injection during the procedure. Bruising in soft tissues may occur. Should youdevelop post-injection bleeding, it may require emergency treatment or surgery. Aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, Vitamin E, ginkgo biloba and other "herbs / homeopathic remedies" may contribute to a greater risk of a bleeding problem. It is recommended not to take any of these for seven days before or after Skin Booster injections.
SWELLING: Swelling (oedema) is a normal occurrence following the injections. It decreases after a few days. If swelling is slow to resolve, medical treatment may be necessary.
ERYTHEMA (Skin Redness): Erythema in the skin occurs after injections. It can be present for a few days after the procedure.
NEEDLE MARKS: Visible needle marks from the injections occur normally and resolve in a few days.
ACNE-LIKE SKIN ERUPTIONS: Acneiform skin eruptions can occur following the injection of tissue fillers. This generally resolves within a few days.
SKIN LUMPINESS: Lumpiness can occur following the injection of Skin Booster. This tends to smooth out over time. In some situations, it may be possible to feel the injected tissue product material for long periods of time.
VISIBLE TISSUE MATERIAL: It may be possible to see any type of tissue product material that was injected in areas where the skin is thin.
PAIN: Discomfort associated with Skin Booster injections is normal and usually of short duration.
SKIN SENSITIVITY: Skin rash, itching, tenderness and swelling may occur following Skin Booster injections. After treatment, you should minimize exposure of the treated area to excessive sun or UV lamp exposure and extreme cold weather until any initial swelling or redness has gone away. If you are considering laser treatment, chemical skin peeling or any other procedure based on a skin response after Skin Booster treatment, or you have recently had such treatments and the skin has not healed completely, there is a possible risk of an inflammatory reaction at the implant site.
