Dr Sandrine Sebban
Until now, there were no topical treatments capable of adjusting any superficial irregularities after hyaluronic acid injections. We only used hyaluronidase, and only in the case of important side effects. Today, SoftFil® laboratories have developed a brand-new topical treatment that fulfils the needs from doctors for a product that can be applied to the surface of the skin to even out any skin irregularities.
A drop too much
Problems that specialists know only too well
Doctors are well aware of the problems that can arise, some more serious than others, and they have listed them as follows: swelling caused by an excessive amount of product injected, asymmetry, the lower eyelid displaying an irregular appearance, or an eye bag that has developed following an injection into the under-eye area, over-injection of the lips, post-injection swelling that can last from a few hours to a few days, and, finally, the appearance of granulomas in reaction to the presence of a foreign body. The latter are very rare with hyaluronic acid, and often they are false granulomas caused by a mass of too-dense product. In the most serious cases, patients say that they no longer recognise themselves and that their expressions have been altered, or that their appearance has a visible “injected” look, sometimes evoking negative comments from their loved ones. These criticisms, combined with the modifi cation of their features and therefore a loss of distinctiveness, makes them feel anxious, ashamed and guilty. Until now, the only treatment that could tackle serious complications was injectable hyaluronidase, an enzyme that brings about the speedy break-up of hyaluronic acid. But this enzyme can cause a severe allergic reaction, triggered by the animal-origin ingredients, as well as slackening the skin, which leads to sagging, and severely dehydrating it, from which it recovers very slowly over between one and two months.
