The profile of adverse events is more favorable in temporary fillers such as hyaluronic acid than in permanent ones. The most common filler-related adverse events include changes of skin color and unspecific swelling. Neural and vascular dysfunctions are observed less frequently, but may result in severe tissue necrosis or loss of vision. Undesirable events of laser treatments largely depend on the applied modality, localization, and indication. Local effects comprise erythema, swelling, crusting, blister formation, and weeping in extreme cases. The formation of laser-induced scarring is more likely to occur in lasers with high energies. Most adverse events of botulinum toxin are mild and transient. Pain and redness around the sites of injection are common. However, a poor injection technique and injection of too many units can trigger major motoric impairment with ptosis and ...Continue Reading
