Headache following Perlane treatment for glabella

In general, you want to avoid injecting filler in the glabella, or area between the brows. This is very dangerous, and has risks associated.

Perlane and headache

I would recommend returning to the provider for further assessment as treating the glabella region should be done with great caution. You may or may not have an issue with reduced blood flow to the area.

Perlane is a thicker filler that's meant to be injected into the fatty tissue layers, of which the Glabella has none.

Perlane is not for the glabellar area

Perlane is a filler that is meant for deeper injections and, in my opinion, should not be injected between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). Deeper injections in this area are too hazardous and unnecessary as other, more superficial fillers are equally effective and much safer. I recommend you return to your physician injector ASAP for further evaluation and possible hyaluronidase injection.

Do you have any skin changes associated with the injection as well?

Tough location for filler. I recommend if this persists, have your injector use enzyme to break down the Perlane. This has proven a very dangerous area for fillers. It can be done but it is an advanced treatment area.
