Potential Risks and Side Effects
No skin treatment is without the possibility of side effects. As such, during your consultation your doctor or nurse will discuss with you the possible risks associated with any treatments recommended to treat hydration, skin texture and elasticity. These may include persistent lumps lasting for more than 24 hours, persistent swelling, infection, and very rarely, vascular occlusion. Complications after these treatments can be minimised by visiting a qualified and experienced practitioner.
Some of the listed side effects can also be prevented by following your aftercare instructions, so make sure to take care of your skin following your treatment.
