Swelling after hyaluronic acid fillers: what to do?

Every woman wants to preserve youth and beauty, and therefore such a cosmetic procedure as biorevitalization is becoming increasingly popular. Women turn to specialists to eliminate facial imperfections such as folds and bags under the eyes, bruises, dark circles, and wrinkles. This is normal, but not everyone knows about the possible consequences of this procedure. The most common problem is swelling in the area where the injections were made. Anyone who has undergone this procedure should know how to treat bruises after biorevitalization.

How is the procedure performed?

To understand the cause of possible side effects, you need to understand the principle of the procedure. When carrying out classical biorevitalization, a series of injections are made with a drug based on hyaluronic acid, so the medicine gets into the deep layers of the dermis. This gives a good visual effect - the skin looks much younger, wrinkles become less pronounced, and the complexion becomes healthier and more even.


Biorevitalization has many advantages

If you encounter unpleasant consequences - swelling or bruising under the eyes - you need to determine the reason why this happened. Most often this occurs in such cases.

  1. Lack of attentiveness to the procedure on the part of both the doctor and the patient - it is necessary to carefully collect anamnesis and take into account all individual characteristics, and conduct an examination to identify contraindications.
  2. Errors during the procedure that arose as a result of insufficient competence or due to various other factors.
  3. Use during the procedure of drugs that are not certified or have expired. Drugs must be of high quality and selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.


This procedure has side effects

With increased skin sensitivity and a tendency to have a strong reaction to external influences, the likelihood of consequences occurring is slightly higher. In order to avoid them, you must strictly adhere to all the recommendations given by the doctor, avoid sudden changes in temperature for the specified time after the procedure, and do not drink alcoholic beverages and spicy foods in large quantities.


Side effects occur more often in people with hypersensitive skin

How to remove facial swelling and bags under the eyes

As a rule, in order for side effects after cosmetic surgery to go away faster, you do not need to do anything. All that is required is strict adherence to the recommendations given by the cosmetologist. Sometimes specialists prescribe to patients the use of pharmaceutical drugs to speed up the healing process.

Cosmetic and medicinal products for edema

Among the drugs that help against the effects of biorevitalization, homeopathic remedies are most often used. Only the doctor who performed the cosmetic procedure should prescribe a specific drug, taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient. Commonly prescribed homeopathic medicines include:

  1. Arnica ointment. This product consists of a whole complex of medicinal plants, the effect of which helps to cope with swelling, dryness, pain, inflammation, irritation and damage to the skin.
  2. The drug Lymphomyosot. Available in the form of drops. Lymphomyosot has a number of contraindications, including pregnancy, liver disease and individual intolerance to the components of the drops. This drug is prescribed for a course of seven to ten days. The drops are consumed by first dissolving the required dosage in half a glass of drinking water.

Folk remedies

In addition to pharmaceutical drugs, folk remedies will help get rid of the negative consequences of biorevitalization. As a rule, they are safe and absolutely accessible to anyone.

  1. Ice cube massage. To avoid infection and foreign chemical elements, only purified drinking water should be used to make ice. Cosmetic ice can be prepared according to various recipes, using medicinal herbs that relieve swelling and inflammation, as well as fruits, vegetables, berries, infusions and teas. The massage is carried out, if possible, several times a day, slowly moving along the massage lines. A massage in the morning will refresh your face and speed up blood circulation after sleep, which in turn will relieve puffiness and improve your complexion.
  2. Compresses. For the simplest but most effective compress, you will need brewed tea in a bag. To do this, place a used and cooled tea bag on your eyelids for 15-20 minutes. For such lotions, you need to choose tea that does not contain additives, flavors or dyes.
  3. Potato juice. Ideally, potatoes should be grated and the juice separated from the pulp. Wipe your face with this juice morning and evening. If you don’t have time to get potato juice, you can put cut potato slices on the swelling areas.

Nutrition and drinking regime also play a significant role in the process of skin restoration after biorevitalization. Fatty, spicy and salty foods retain fluid in the body and slow down metabolism. Therefore, it is better to adhere to proper nutrition, eat more fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables.

It is also recommended to drink at least 2 liters of clean drinking water daily. The regime of drinking and proper nutrition must be observed not only during the rehabilitation period after biorevitalization, but also at any other time, since this improves the well-being, appearance and functioning of the internal organs of a person.

Massages and treatments

Facial massage is quite effective in combating swelling. However, during the recovery process after biorevitalization, massage and any other similar effects on the facial skin are prohibited. Under the influence of external forces, hyaluronic acid will quickly dissolve, and the effect of an expensive cosmetic procedure will disappear in a few weeks. Cosmetologists recommend avoiding even unnecessary touching of your face with your hands, sleeping with your face in a pillow and other physical influences while recovering from injections.

In what cases is the procedure prescribed?

Standard list of indications for biorevitalization:

  • presence of bags or darkened circles under the eyes;
  • the appearance of facial wrinkles;
  • presence of crow's feet.

Important! The procedure is also prescribed at the client’s request to improve the appearance of facial skin. Some resort to it when they reach a certain age in order to prolong their youth and blooming appearance.


In general, the task of biorevitalization is to rejuvenate the client

Biorevitalization is a medical procedure, so you need to treat it carefully and take into account the list of possible contraindications:

  • pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  • the presence of inflammation in the eyelids or eyes;
  • chronic diseases in the acute stage;
  • autoimmune diseases;
  • tendency to allergic reactions and individual intolerance to the components of the drug;


Intolerance to certain components forces you to look for alternatives

  • herpes in the acute stage;
  • the presence of prerequisites for the formation of keloid scars on the skin;
  • taking anticoagulants (such as heparin or warfarin);
  • a history of cardiovascular diseases, hypertensive crises, heart defects, etc.


It is important to consider a large number of contraindications when choosing a procedure

What side effects might you encounter?

The most common reaction of the body to biorevitalization is the appearance of bags under the eyes after the procedure. This usually happens for the following reasons:

  • increased amount of fluid in the injection area;
  • increased skin sensitivity to external influences;
  • allergic reactions and individual intolerance.


Side effects occur when a specialist does not carefully consider the characteristics of the patient’s body

Note! As a rule, complete regeneration of cells damaged during the procedure occurs within about four days, so after this period the swelling should subside.

The skin around the eyes itself is more delicate and sensitive than in other places, so experienced doctors advise caution when performing cosmetic procedures and not touching these areas unnecessarily. If the patient expresses a desire to undergo a course of injections in areas near the eyes, the doctor’s duty is to warn about all the possible consequences.


Very careful work is carried out in the skin area around the eyes

As a rule, swelling after the biorevitalization procedure does not look very aesthetically pleasing, but does not have negative consequences and does not indicate serious health difficulties - if you carefully follow the doctor’s recommendations after the procedure, they will disappear on their own without consequences.


Swelling will go away on its own over time

It often happens that patients notice general swelling of the face for several days after the procedure. There is no need to worry - slight swelling does not go beyond the norm, this is a completely natural response of the body to such a traumatic intervention. An alarming symptom is severe, persistent swelling - this usually indicates an allergy or individual intolerance to the drug. If you are faced with such an unpleasant situation, be sure to contact the doctor who performed the procedure as soon as possible and tell in detail about all the symptoms. The more detailed you describe how you feel, the greater the likelihood of receiving timely and correct help to eliminate the consequences.


If the swelling does not go away, you need to discuss this with your doctor.

Patients who have had to deal with the unpleasant consequences of biorevitalization, such as the appearance of bruises and swelling, swelling or compaction at the injection sites, may wonder how safe and necessary this rejuvenation method is.

If these symptoms are not too severe and go away on their own within three or four days, there is no need to worry. A few days are enough for the complete restoration of destroyed cells and the adaptation of tissues to hyaluronic acid. However, if swelling or bruising does not disappear, discomfort, pain or itching increases, a consultation with your doctor is required.


Pain, itching, persistent swelling - all these are considered not very good signs

What to do

Removing swelling under the eyes after Botox is more difficult than usual, since they are enhanced by the effect of the drug itself. However, there are several ways to get rid of them quite effectively. But you need to wait at least 5-7 days. Otherwise, intense exposure to the periorbital zone may contribute to the spread of the drug to neighboring areas and worsen the situation.

Here are some of the most reliable methods for eliminating unwanted swelling:

WayAction
Lymphatic drainage massagePerfectly restores lymph flow, helps quickly remove excess water from tissues. But at the same time it accelerates blood circulation, which helps to quickly neutralize toxins. The duration of action of the drug is significantly reduced.
Compresses and masksIf ordinary swelling quickly disappears from cold, then after Botox treatment is carried out with heat. Warming masks and compresses increase blood flow and help restore muscle activity faster.
DiureticsThey will help in cases where swelling after Botox appears as a result of poor kidney function. But if there are stones in them, taking such drugs is contraindicated. If desired, they can be replaced with herbal decoctions: tansy, corn silk, rose hips, etc.
succinic acidA product that activates metabolic processes and promotes rapid resorption of Botox. But it only works effectively in combination with physical activity.
Neutralizing drugsThey are injected into the same points as Botox and can very quickly neutralize its effects. Only a doctor can give such injections. Most often it is “Proserin” or “Neuromidin”.
PhysiotherapyIn the absence of inflammatory processes and long-lasting swelling, excellent results are achieved by physiotherapeutic procedures: microcurrents, galvanization, electrophoresis, darsonval, myostimulation. But after a course, usually consisting of 8-10 sessions, the effect of Botox almost completely stops.

Most of the procedures listed above can be done independently at home. But if the swelling does not go away within a week, consultation with a specialist is simply necessary.

Why did the swelling occur?

The causes of edema are microtrauma of tissue and the natural property of hyaluronic acid to retain fluid.

Full information about side effects will be available directly from the cosmetologist during the consultation period before the procedure. Typically, the time to eliminate the consequences depends on the individual characteristics of the patient, and even in the most difficult cases it should not exceed a week. In order to shorten the body's adaptation period, you can use cold compresses.


A week is enough to eliminate the consequences

If the side effects are too pronounced, the reasons may be different. Sometimes medical errors are recorded - the drug or its dosage was chosen incorrectly, the technique of administering the drug was incorrect.

Important! With a large amount of hyaluronate in soft tissues, edema almost always occurs. The only question is to select the required composition and consistency of the drug, without disturbing the process technique. Make sure that the cosmetologist has the necessary qualifications.


If the doctor administers an excessive amount of the drug, swelling will certainly occur.

Another reason for complications is infection of the treated area. This occurs if the prescribed hygiene recommendations are not followed or the product is not properly cleaned. If an infection occurs, the swelling will be painful; if this happens, be sure to consult a doctor.


Penetration of infection is a dangerous phenomenon

A qualified doctor will always collect an accurate medical history and properly prepare the patient for the procedure. You should carefully consider the preliminary actions, informing the cosmetologist all the important information about your own health.

Important! If the anti-aging drug contains components that cause an allergic reaction in the patient, swelling is a completely expected result. In rare cases, it happens that the product turns out to be expired or previously opened - be sure to make sure that the drug is in a disposable, hermetically sealed package.


If swelling appears after certain medications, it means we are talking about an allergy.

Characteristics of the drug

Aquashine is produced by the South Korean company Caregen. In addition to Aquashine revitalizants, its product range also includes Dermaheal mesotherapy preparations, Revofil and Dermafill fillers, and VIVIFY Rejuvenating Soft Filler bioreparants. Initially, the company developed raw materials for cosmetic preparations - growth factors and biomimetic peptides, which are analogues of human peptides. Later, all this became part of Caregen's own products, created to maintain youthful and beautiful skin.

The main feature of the Aquashine line is that biorevitalizants can slow down the aging of the dermis at the cellular level. They suppress the processes of excessive melanin formation and reduce the amount of hidden pigments in the skin. Judging by the reviews, the effect is noticeable even after the first procedure. The skin becomes more elastic, acquires an even natural shade, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out. In total, to complete the course completely, 3-4 sessions are required at intervals of approximately a month.

Attention! The exact number of procedures and the interval between them will be determined by the cosmetologist. The specialist will take into account the condition of the skin, the complexity of the problems and other individual characteristics of the patient.

Compound

Aquashine is based on 1.5% hyaluronic acid (HA), which moisturizes the skin. It provides the dermis with antioxidant protection and interacts effectively with other components. Aquashine preparations also contain:

  1. Minerals and coenzymes - magnesium sulfate, calcium and sodium chloride and others. Protect the dermis from harmful factors.
  2. Amino acids - glycine, lysine, proline, and others, which provide protein synthesis.
  3. Vitamins - A, ascorbic acid, group B and others, known for their stimulating and antioxidant effects.
  4. Peptides are the key components. They differ depending on the type of Aquashine. Among the main ones:
  • oligopeptide-72 - smoothes wrinkles, prevents the appearance of new folds;
  • oligopeptide-34 - brightens the skin, including age spots, evens out the tone of the dermis;
  • oligopeptide-24 - reduces wrinkles and scars;
  • oligopeptide-62 - prolongs the life cycle of skin cells, increases the elasticity of the dermis, improves its color, and has a lifting effect;
  • acetyl decapeptide-3 - has an anti-aging effect;
  • decapeptide-29 - has anti-inflammatory properties, evens out the relief of the skin.

It would be more correct to call Aquashine a biorepairant rather than a biorevitalizant, since it contains other components in addition to hyaluronic acid.

Kinds

The Revofil brand appeared earlier than Aquashine, which is why its name appears on the packaging: Revofil Aquashine. The following drugs directly belong to the Aquashain series:

  • Aquashine Classic , also known as Soft Filler, although this mark - soft filler - is also on other packages in the series. Classic Aquashine has a lifting effect, which can be assessed 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Aquashine Classic fights age-related pigmentation, deeply moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin, corrects wrinkles and folds (including nasolabial ones). Designed for women aged 35–40 years.

  • Aquashine BR (BR) , or brightening (bright is translated from English as “light”). Reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, fights pigmentation. Brightens the dermis due to the content of additional peptides. Aquashine VR also strengthens blood vessels and fights pigmentation. Recommended for sensitive dermis. Age category: from 50 years.

  • Aquashine BTX (BTX) is a universal preparation for all types of dermis. Controls pigmentation and has a pronounced relaxing and lifting effect, comparable to Botox therapy. The maximum effect occurs half a month after the injections. Aquashine VTX is designed for women aged 35–40 years.

  • Aquashine NA and Aquashine NA BR are new on the Russian market. Designed to eliminate age-related changes in the skin, suitable for preventing aging. These drugs differ slightly in the concentration of sodium hyaluronate: 15 mg/ml in Aquashine XA and 13 mg/ml in Aquashine XA VR. Additionally enriched with peptides. Like previous biorevitalizants, they are available in 2 ml syringes.

  • Aquashine Plus, Aquashine BR Plus and Aquashine BTX Plus are new, improved versions of popular drugs. They are distinguished by a 2.5-fold increased concentration of peptides and amino acids. Provide a prolonged effect. In addition to the traditional composition, the injections in this series contain 2 new peptides. Volume - 2.5 ml. Release form: glass bottles.

also drugs in the Revofil line that do not belong to the Aquashine series. They contain hyaluronic acid and peptides and are available in 1 ml syringes:

  • Revofil Fine (Fine) - soft filler for smoothing wrinkles, correcting scars, shaping lips;

  • Revofil Ultra (Ultra) - volumetric for bio-reinforcement of the face, adding volume to the cheekbones, chin, eyebrow area, nose, forehead;

  • Revofil Plus (Plus) eliminates wrinkles, corrects the shape and volume of the lips.

This product has its own website - revofil.co.kr. It is available in three languages, including Russian.

The word Aquashine also appears in the names of other fillers - REGENOVUE. They are also produced by a Korean company, but another one is Neogenesis. Its line includes biorevitalizants Regenovue DEEP, Regenovue Sub-Q, Regenovue Aquashine (Silver) and Regenovue Aquashine Plus (Gold) in volumes up to 3ml. Neogenesis injections have a different composition than drugs manufactured by Caregen Co, Ltd.

Indications for use

Different types of Aquashine are suitable for solving the following problems:

  • dehydration of the dermis;
  • presence of enlarged pores, acne;
  • decreased tone and elasticity of the skin;
  • dull complexion, age spots;
  • fragile blood vessels, rosacea;
  • post-acne, scars;
  • evens out the uneven relief of the dermis;
  • thin skin;
  • folds and wrinkles, including expression lines;
  • ptosis of the lower face.

Most often, the drug is used by women 30–40 years old to rejuvenate and lighten the skin, give it a healthy, well-groomed appearance, and smooth out wrinkles. Aquashine is also suitable for preventing skin aging and caring for it after sunbathing, for preparing the dermis for peeling, resurfacing, plastic surgery and for recovery after these procedures. Biorevitalizants cope with increased dryness of the skin, accompanied by peeling.

Price

Not all online stores openly provide information about the cost of Aquashine. Sometimes, to obtain this data, you need to register and confirm the qualifications of a cosmetologist. Information may not be available to all other users.

On those sites that do indicate the cost, the price of 1 package ranges from 2500–2900 rubles. Aquashine VTX, as a premium drug, can cost a thousand rubles more. Sometimes you can order bioremedies on special offer. It is best to shop from official distributors of Korean products, who guarantee that the injections are certified and original. For example, the supplier of Aquashine XA and Aquashine Plus is the Fiji Beauty Institute.

How to deal with swelling?

If you find such unpleasant consequences, you can simply wait until they are eliminated on your own - it will take a few days and they will pass.


This problem may go away after a few days.

The second way is to seek advice from a cosmetologist who performs the procedure. Most likely, he will recommend actions to speed up rehabilitation.

How long does swelling last?

Normally, the period of swelling should not exceed three or four days. However, if there are individual characteristics or the technique of introducing hyaluronic acid is impaired, it can take up to ten days.


If the swelling lasts too long, you need to go to the doctor.

It is important to note that swelling in the eye area may persist longer than around the nose or lips - this is normal, since the skin around the eyes is thinner than on other parts of the face.

How long to wait for recovery?

The complaint of puffiness under the eyes is typical for many patients who resort to the biorevitalization procedure. The skin of the face is sensitive to any external interference, and there is no need to panic if you experience bruising or swelling.

This does not look very aesthetically pleasing, but most often it does not harm health and goes away on its own. Over time, hyaluronic acid spreads more evenly under the skin and begins to act in full force. Over time, excess fluid at the injection site will disappear, and swelling will no longer spoil the appearance of the face.


Swelling is unaesthetic, but it definitely doesn’t cause harm.

What can you do yourself?

There is a technique for administering drugs based on hyaluronic acid, which involves reducing the number of skin punctures by changing the direction of the needle - this is a less traumatic method.

To reduce the severity and intensity of swelling after manipulation, you can apply a cold compress based on ice. It is used for 7-10 minutes at the site of swelling and repeated no more than 2-3 times a day, so as not to cause damage to the skin from low temperature.


A cold compress will help relieve swelling

As soon as the procedure is completed, you will receive from the cosmetologist a list of mandatory actions and recommendations, from which you should not deviate. Failure to follow these rules significantly delays recovery time.

Forbidden:

  • massage, touch with your hands, knead the skin in any way;
  • use cosmetics;
  • visit the sauna for seven days;


You can't go to the sauna for the first time

  • visit the solarium;
  • drink alcohol and foods that retain fluid in the body. It is better to limit your salt intake and not drink a lot of water at night.

The more often the procedure is performed, the more pronounced its consequences may be in the form of swelling and bruising. This is due to the fact that the administration of drugs is quite traumatic for the skin of the face. It is best to keep in touch with your doctor and follow his recommendations to manage unwanted effects.


The patient should know that the procedure itself is traumatic

If no method can be used to avoid swelling and it does not go away for a long time, the cosmetologist may prescribe medications that remove hyaluronic acid from the body. Unfortunately, after this biorevitalization will not bring the declared effect, but this is a necessary measure, usually associated with the individual characteristics of the human body.


Sometimes medications are prescribed whose purpose is to remove hyaluronate from the body

The doctor prescribes a set of measures for recovery and care after the procedure. Most likely, specialized medical cosmetics will be prescribed to speed up regeneration. Usually, a special medicinal composition is injected into the surface layer of hyaluronic acid without affecting the deeper layers of the skin - this helps relieve swelling.


The medicine is injected into the top layer of skin

It is very important to remember that a good result can be guaranteed if the patient is well prepared and has a positive attitude. Before the procedure, full information is provided about the progress of the manipulations, and the names of the drugs are provided. If original and certified products are used, there is a possibility of a significant reduction in negative consequences.


Original medicines work effectively

Note! In order for the negative consequences after the intervention to be less pronounced, homeopathy is often used - this is a gentle way of influencing the body, which often gives good results.

The following drugs are usually prescribed.

A drugDescription
"Arnica"This is a homeopathic remedy produced in Russia. It contains only natural ingredients - mumiyo, arnica, chestnut extracts, etc. It is produced in the form of a special composition, which is applied to the skin in the injection area twice a day, usually in the morning and evening. It fights well against swelling.
"Lymphomyosot"A natural drug that requires a course of treatment. Three times a day, take 15 drops of the product, diluted in 150 ml of purified water. Course – 10 days. The list of contraindications includes pregnancy, age under 18 years and sensitivity to the components of the drug.


"Lymphomyosot"

Cost of biorevitalization

The final amount is influenced by various factors: the qualifications of the cosmetologist, the complexity of the work, the location of the clinic or salon. Even the cost of the procedure in Moscow is not the same for different areas. It differs depending on where you do biorevitalization with Aquashine.

The price range is quite wide: from 6000–6500 rubles to 18 thousand rubles. In other regions of the country, the procedure will be cheaper than in the capital.

Aquashine BTX injections usually cost 1000–1500 rubles more than biorevitalization with other drugs in the line.

What can be done for prevention?

In order not to encounter such unpleasant consequences of biorevitalization as the appearance of bruises and bags, you need to follow these recommendations.

Pay great attention to the selection of a specialist and a clinic where you will have the procedure. Check whether the staff has sufficient competence, read the reviews, ask the doctor carefully - he should provide all the information about the procedure in as much detail as possible.


You only need to contact a competent specialist

Immediately before intervention, read the packaging of the product - it must be hermetically sealed, have no external damage, and the expiration date must correspond. Unfortunately, some clinics are not conscientious about their responsibilities, and you can even find expired drugs - in this case you need to categorically insist on replacing the drug or go to another salon.

Note! You can also find out everything about the drugs on the Internet, for example, on the official websites of the manufacturer. Find out about the dosage of the product, its composition, maximum shelf life, side effects.


It is worth carefully studying the drug used during the procedure

Of course, a cosmetologist must have a license that gives him the right to perform declared cosmetic procedures, including biorevitalization. To go to a charlatan means to expose your health and appearance to great danger. You can safely request such a license at your first appointment - any conscientious doctor will provide it to you.

So, you have chosen a clinic and a doctor, you are ready for injections. What else can be done to minimize side effects after the procedure?

  1. Do not sunbathe in direct bright sun. If possible, schedule the procedure in spring or early autumn, when there are no temperature changes and the sun is not so “aggressive”.
  2. Solarium is excluded for at least 14 days.


The sun's rays should not fall on the face of a person suffering from edema.

There are certain guidelines for creating a diet and meal plan.

  1. Avoid alcoholic drinks and energy drinks - they negatively affect the exchange of fluids in the body.
  2. Foods that retain water in the body should also be excluded. Use less salt and spices.
  3. In the evening and at night, you need to drink as little liquid as possible so as not to experience increased swelling the next morning.


You need to follow a diet to prevent swelling

Even if you do encounter side effects, it would be a good idea to help yourself by using compresses with ice cubes, as well as frozen herbal teas based on soothing herbs - chamomile, mint, sage or eucalyptus.

By the way. It is important to remember that exposure to cold should be limited in time, otherwise there is a risk of getting the exact opposite effect.


Time spent in the cold should be limited

Even despite the risk of complications, biorevitalization is popular among many women who want to rejuvenate. The result is usually visible almost immediately - fine lines and bags under the eyes are significantly reduced, the skin is smoothed and becomes healthier and more elastic.


Biorevitalization is still popular

Be sure to double-check the information about the medical center that you are going to entrust with the procedure - it is better not to skimp on health and beauty. The consequences can be unpredictable, and recovery will take much more money and effort.

If the swelling cannot be eliminated on your own or if it does not go away for a long time, you should immediately contact a cosmetologist. They usually recommend the doctor who performed the procedure, since he knows all its features in your particular case, but if for some reason you do not trust him, you can choose any other specialist.


It is worth choosing a specialist carefully

Note! Typically, therapy consists of prescribing medicinal cosmetics for skin care after the intervention.

Causes of swelling under the eyes after Botox or Dysport

Most patients ask the question: “Why does the procedure give terrible side effects and what to do in such a situation?”

Swelling after Dysport or Botox can nullify the positive effect of the drug. And for a long time it will remind you of an unsuccessful attempt to get rid of age-related changes.

Let's start with the fact that swelling in the first three days after the injection is normal, and there is no need to worry. But when it lasts more than seven days, you should contact a specialist.

Wizard error

Swelling after Dysport and Botox appears due to blocking of the muscle fibers involved in the outflow of lymph. The balance between the flow of fluid into the tissue and its removal is disrupted.

If the injection is administered incorrectly and the injection site is incorrectly determined by the master, the walls of the blood vessels are damaged, which causes:

  • Painful sensations;
  • Swelling;
  • Hyperemia of the skin.

This is due to the uneven distribution of the drug in the tissues of the treated area. After some time, the symptoms begin to decrease, but if the necessary therapeutic measures are not taken in time, the swelling will not be completely eliminated.

Allergic reaction to botulinum toxin

Failure to accept Botox or Dysport by the body is accompanied by dizziness, muscle weakness, and lacrimation. Rejuvenating procedures performed can cause allergies due to individual intolerance to botulinum toxin, which occurs in less than 1% of patients.

Patient mistakes

Swelling under the eyes after Botox appears due to the patients themselves, who do not adhere to the doctor’s recommendations. Neglecting the established rules can cause asymmetry of the oval of the face and swelling.

  • Drink alcoholic beverages;
  • Exercise;
  • Exposing the body to temperature changes;
  • Lower your head down, lie on your face;

To ensure that swelling and bags under the eyes do not form after Botox, a personal consultation with a specialist is necessary before the procedure. The specialist must know the complete clinical picture of the patient, chronic diseases, information about the medications used and the cosmetics used.

Diseases of internal organs

The likelihood of swelling after Botox increases with hormonal disorders and diseases of the internal organs.

  1. Diseases of the urinary system reduce the ability of the kidneys to remove fluid from tissues, resulting in swelling, mainly in the facial area.
  2. Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, result in the heart's inability to pump enough blood. Due to this, the venous bed overflows and blood enters the tissues, accumulating there. In this case, swelling of the lower or upper eyelid occurs after Botox.
  3. An imbalance in muscle tone is the cause of swelling. Decreased muscle contraction leads to stagnation of blood and lymph in the tissues.
  4. Hormonal imbalance contributes to the stagnation of fluid in the tissues, causing the eye area to swell.
