Hello there, I’m sorry to hear of your problem.
It is very important to check the experience and qualifications of the practitioner administering the filler injection. It is also important to confirm exactly which brand of filler is being and that it has been sourced from an approved supplier. Lastly I would also advise that you choose a practitioner who offers a comprehensive follow-up service and provides you with contact details in case problems occur.

Is there a way to test for allergies of filler or botox treatment before hand?

July 3rd, 2012
Q.
Hello there Adrian, I have read on your site that you can experience allergic reactions to the filler/botox treatments. I am considering treatment for my crows feet but worried that I would encounter a reaction, however slim. Is there a way you could test the treatment on the patient before you actually use it to see if there would be a reaction? Like how they ask you on the back of hair dyes to test the product on your hand before you place it on your hair? Thanks for your time and any advice you can give me.

Hi

Thank you for your enquiry.

It is very unusual to experience allergic reactions to fillers or Botox.

Botox is normally used for the crows feet area and I have never seen an allergic reaction ot Botox and is extremely rare.

I have never experienced hair dye reacting with Botox.

I think overall non surigcal teatments would be very safe in your case and if you would like any more information please contact us via Catherin Reeve on 01844 214362.

I had fillers and then botox, shouldn’t the procedure be the other way around?

June 12th, 2012
Q.
Hi there, I have recently had teosyal dermal filler between my eyebrows. As I had two lines I I directly between my eyes, I was initially going for Botox but after a consultation with my nurse she recommended filler a tue lines were quite deep. I had this done 3days ago and she is coming back in two weeks to top up, she only put a small amount to see how it takes then will add some more, she also said she would put some Botox there too. I have just read that it should be done the other way round. What should my next step be, just take some Botox and leave the additional top up of filler and just see how it looks??
A.
Thank you very much for your question. You are right that we do normally recommend having Botox injections before fillers.

The reason is that the Botox weakens the line and therefore it becomes less deep. You therefore need less filler following the Botox.

It may be that your practitioner prefers a different method and I am sure that Botox works well.
I think it would be worthwhile discussing this fully with your practitioner and I wish you the best of luck.

Best wishes
