Posted under Bellafill q&a

Can I get laser to treat rosacea after having Bellafill? Is it safe to use Retin-A?

fullofregret115
I received Bellafill injections 8 months ago. Starting at 3 months post-injection, I developed pain and swelling, which has improved. I have rosacea and am wondering if it will be safe in the future to receive laser treatments, or would this cause an inflammatory reaction to the Bellafill? And is tretinoin cream OK to use? I'm sure Bellafill is injected very deep but I'm a little afraid to irritate my skin after the problems I've had. Thanks!
