Need of blood test before dermal filler injection?

There are no blood tests that are routinely required for healthy people prior to fillers. Artefill/ Bellafill and other colagen based products do require a skin test. Hyaluronic acid and hydroxyappatite based fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma and Radiesse do not require skin tests.

Dear rohit4ursearch:In years past, fillers were made for injection from animal and human tissues. While blood tests were not used, skin testing was for an allergic reaction.Today, the most common fillers, hyaluronic acid gels (HA's) are made by a "recombinant genetic method". This is to insert the human gene for HA into a yeast cell or bacteria and have it produce exact replicas of the HA molecule. Thereafter, it is purified and linked or cleaved to produce the fillers unique character. As with any medicine or device, fillers are not perfect and my contain a rare impurity or preservative to which you are allergic but no blood or skin testing is needed. Discuss this further with your Board Certified Injector. All the best!

There is no need for any blood tests before using a dermal filler. If you have specific concerns, discuss with your plastic surgeon.
