What to Expect During Your Visit
Initially you will have a consultation to evaluate your goals, medical history and assess your problem areas. If your provider deems that you are a good Revanesse® candidate they will set you up with a treatment time (which could be the same visit).
What are the risks?
- The most common reported side effects are bleeding, bruising, swelling, and pain.
- Other risks that are less likely, but may occur, include: Acne-like skin eruptions, skin sensitivity (rash, itching, tenderness), skin infection, damage to nerves or blood vessels, skin lumpiness, scarring, skin necrosis, hyperpigmentation, reactivation of herpes infection (blisters or skin sores).
- If you have an adverse reaction or side effect that persists for one week or more after treatment with a Revanesse® dermal filler, please contact your healthcare provider.
Warning: One of the risks of being injected with any dermal filler is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. These complications, which have been reported with facial injectable fillers, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin.
