I injected a topical serum containing hyaluronic acid, water, aloe, & fragrance into my face...I look like a chipmunk. Very stupid I know, but will this swelling go away or is this permanent? It's a product by Loreal. I really screwed up. Please help.

There are different components of aging: wrinkles, discoloration, volume loss, and loss of elasticity.
Chemical peels correct the texture of the skin: discoloration and smoothness.
Fillers add volume to a hollow area and make it look youthful.

Hi @Tony2009. I recommend an in person consultation to determine the best treatment plan suited for you. Restylane Defyne is a great dermal filler for the smile lines.

Hi @christineg. Yes, it it safe to receive dermal fillers while on Accutane, but you will most likely experience increased redness and swelling for a few days longer than usual because of the effect of Accutane on the skin.
