My PS is tooting hydrelle for winkle fillings. Hydrelle used to be called Elevess, right? I read some scary info. about people having serious allegy reactions and needing antibiotics.
I encourage all of my health professional colleagues to stay away from Hydrelle. I did not think an HA filler could have such extreme reactions, but I have a patient now who is suffering from injections into her nasolabial folds. I have injected 5 patients total and have obviously stopped using this product since this reaction started. 1/5 is a 20% complication rate. I know another surgeon in the area who had 4/6 patients have a reaction (67%).
I am not talking about a small reaction. I am talking about severe swelling, pain, abssess requiring surgical drainage. Had I known about this, I would have never touched the product. This product should be taken off the market. I have contacted the company and they have responded lethargically. I have filed my complaint with the FDA and will not rest until this product is deleted.
