Dermal Fillers Consent Form

Dermal filler is a sterile gel consisting of non-animal, stabilised hyaluronic acid and a local anaesthetic called lidocaine. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar chain molecule, naturally occurring in the skin and throughout the body. The sterile gel is injected into the skin to correct facial lines, wrinkles and folds, for lip enhancement, for shaping facial contours including chin, cheeks, jawline and the nose and for skin rejuvenation.

Common Side Effects Associated with the Injection
  • Pain or stinging sensation when the injection is performed.
  • Localized swelling, redness and or tenderness
  • Bleeding at the sites of injection
  • Bruising. Rarely, bruising may be severe and may persist for several weeks.
  • Numbness or itching of the area following injection.

Common side effects are expected to resolve spontaneously, within the first few days of treatment. Whilst not expected, it is possible that reactions described may persist for longer than expected and may inhibit your confidence to attend work or social events. You are advised to schedule treatment with this in mind, allowing time for common reactions such as bruising and swelling, to settle.
