A panel of independent advisers urged the Food and Drug Administration to revise the information for facial
filler risk for consumers and doctors to include the risk of long lasting reactions such as bumps under the skin, blotches
and scars.
The FDA has presented data on 823 patients who
suffered serious reactions after treatment with fillers between 2003and Sept. 2008. 638 of the patients required follow-up
medical treatments.
Most of the cases reported to the FDA
involved complications that could be foreseen, such as swelling and redness. But there were also "serious and unexpected"
reactions, including facial, lip and eye paralysis, disfigurement, vision problems and some sever allergic reactions.
The FDA is considering whether to regulate fillers
more closely.
Please visit our Turbo Face - Lift page to see another option for
smoothing lines on the face. Micro current aids in reducing the signs of aging, triggering chemical reactions at a cellular
level to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin and providing circulatory benefits.
The result
is immediate firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while greatly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Clinicians can also sculpt and contour the face with the Bio-ultimate Face Lift.
During a series of treatments skin
is re-hydrated, circulation is improved, and a revitalized appearance is achieved.
