I am getting married in three months and I hate my nasolabial folds. I have recently (past few years) developed allergies to things I was never allergic to ie: penicillin, fish, nuts. I am concerned that if I get the juvederm injections and have a bad reaction that I will look awful on my wedding day. I have also read some scary blogs about woman who have developed dizziness and mental disturbances which lasted months after injections. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bride to be

Answer: Allergies to HA Fillers Hyaluronic acid fillers are very safe, and have a very low risk of complication. Hyaluronic acid has very little reactivity with the immune system. If you are concerned about reactivity you can always ask the surgeon to place a small amount in a "test spot" in an inconspicious place on the face, typically behind the ear. Although, test spots are not necessary for routine hyaluronic acid filler injections. Good Luck

Answer: Juvederm and Allergy Juvederm and Restyane are Hyaluronic acids and are very safe substances. Unlike collagen injections,which are no longer used, there is no skin test required because the risk of allergy is negligible. That being said, there is always a chance, even if it is extremely small, of an allergy to anything. Most importantly is to find a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience in cosmetic dermatology for the best results.
