You may experience some redness afterwards and there is also the option of a microneedling attachment, which can be used together with the radiofrequency and ultrasound. But be aware that this will involve one or two days recovery time, adds Dr Balaratnam.
Clinicians must take into account a gel's propensity to swell and warn patients that swelling will subside or inject a smaller amount of filler, because swelling will contribute to the volume injected.
A good trade‐off can be achieved by breaking down the mass by a homogenization process. This process results in a broader distribution of gel particle sizes than obtained by sieving, and “softer” gels with lower G
The Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021 made it an offence for a person to administer botulinum toxin, or a filler by way of injection for a cosmetic purpose, to a person under 18 in England.
