1. RISKS
· The treatment could fail to provide the desired result.
· Needles can cause pain, bleeding, bruising and rare but possible damage to veins, arteries, nerves or muscles. Some of these can require medical help.
· Bacterial infections may develop post-procedure, particularly due to inadequate aftercare. Infections can cause redness, swelling and pain and can require specialised medical treatment. Please follow the aftercare to help avoid this situation.
· Anaphylaxis: As with all treatments, this severe allergic reaction is possible, can develop rapidly, and may be life-threatening. Seek medical help or call an ambulance (999) without hesitation or ask someone to do so in your behalf immediately if you believe you experience anaphylaxis. Most common signs are: swelling of throat and tongue and difficulties breathing or speaking. Info: nhs.uk/conditions/anaphylaxis
· Vascular occlusion, with a rare possibility of occurrence, is a severe situation caused by filler accidentally reaching inside a blood vessel that will restrict normal blood flow. The injected area will become painful and change colour quickly into a dark bruised appearance. In case of a vascular occlusion, a rapid injection treatment is required to dissolve the hyaluronic filler and release the normal blood flow.
· Herpes/cold sores recurrence can be triggered by injections to lips area.
2. SIDE EFFECTS
· Swelling and light Bruising. These are common and typically resolve in a few days.
· Redness. The treated area may feel sore and appear red for a short period.
· Numbness or Tingling: Some patients may experience temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area.
· Lumps or Irregularities: Although the procedure may be perfectly successful immediately after the treatment, the soft and malleable nature of hyaluronic gel can lead to irregularities in time, especially if aftercare instructions are not followed. Some people may experience lumps or unevenness in the lips after the healing process is complete (typically around 30 days after the procedure). These issues can often be massaged out but may sometimes require further adjustment.

6. AFTERCARE
Certain aftercare rules need to be followed for the whole duration of recovery (about 14 days). An aftercare leaflet will be handed to you after the procedure or you can see it here.
7. DISSATISFACTION
Like with all treatments, the actual degree of improvement cannot be fully predicted or guaranteed. The outcome’s subjective nature means dissatisfaction is a possible outcome regardless of effectiveness of treatment. The effect of all treatments will gradually wear off and additional treatments may be necessary to achieve or maintain the desired effect. The aftercare advice given to you as an aftercare leaflet, is very important in obtaining the desired result and ignoring it can alter or ruin the results. The procedure is non-refundable if you're subjectively not satisfied with aesthetics of the outcome.
