Facial Burning and Capillaries Unlikely Seven Weeks after Perlane
Dear writer, You are most likely experiencing a new onset, or a flare, of a condition known as rosacea.

Burning of the Face Seven Weeks After Perlane Injections
Symptoms such as burning skin and breaking capillaries are not typically due to facial fillers such as Perlane.

Facial burning after Perlane
The likelihood of an allergic reaction after 7 weeks is very small. Allergic reactions usually happen within 3-10 days.

I recommend an evaluation by your injecting physician and/or a board certified dermatologist for a more definitive diagnosis and treatment.
