Q.
I would like to use a filler containing hyaluronic acid for my lines around nose, etc. I have underactive thyroid condition (Hassimoto) and take 125 mg of levothyroxine daily. Will any product containing Hyaluronic Acid be suitable for me or am I one of those patients who cannot have this type of treatment? If so is it are there any alternatives except for a surgery?
Many thanks

Hello,
Hello,
There is certainly no reason why a hyaluronic (HA) filler would not be suitable for you. Although synthetically produced, the HA in dermal fillers is almost identical to the natural HA that is widespread throughout the body including the skin.
Q-Med have been making the HA filler, Restylane for 15 years and it has been used millions of times in patients giving it an unparalleled safety record.
Surgery may be an option for you but if you are concerned about the nose-to-mouth lines (naso-labial) then a HA filler would be a good choice.
Best wishes,
