Nonsurgical Risks

Aesthetic Treatments arent risk-free.

 If injected incorrectly, Botox or dermal fillers such as Juvederm Voluma, Restylane, and Radiesse have serious risks. If the filler is injected around the eyes or between the eyes, there is a higher risk for injection into a blood vessel, causing blindness. When injected too close to the eyebrow, Botox can cause drooping brows that will last four months. There is no correction for this latter issue but time.

Lasers treatments have risks too. They are high-powered devices with the ability to damage your eyes and permanently scar your skin. And while you cannot purchase a laser without a medical license, some technicians who perform laser treatments may have limited training. In the wrong hands, the powerful light pulses from lasers can cause burns, scarring, and pain.
