Dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by qualified and experienced healthcare professionals. At AestheticsIQ Med Spa and Training Center DFW we train to have the safest injectors providing care. However, like any medical procedure, they carry potential risks and side effects.
Common Side Effects:
- Bruising
- Redness
- Swelling
- Pain
- Tenderness
- Itching
- Rash
These effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days to weeks.
Less Common but Serious Risks:
- Infection: Though rare, infections can occur at the injection site.
- Nodules or Granulomas: Raised bumps under the skin may develop and could require additional treatment.
- Vascular Complications: Unintentional injection into blood vessels can lead to tissue death (necrosis), vision abnormalities including blindness, or stroke. While these complications are uncommon, they can have serious and permanent consequences.
Ensuring Safety: At AestheticsIQ Med Spa and Training Center in DFW this is Our #1 Priority
To minimize risks associated with dermal fillers:
- Choose a Qualified Provider: Seek treatment from board-certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or other licensed healthcare professionals experienced in administering dermal fillers.
- Discuss Potential Risks: Have a thorough consultation with your provider to understand the specific risks and benefits associated with the procedure.

By taking these precautions, you can enhance the safety and effectiveness of dermal filler treatments.
