Hyaluron pen - can it cause vascular occlusion if pressing a blood vessel?

LilladreamsDec 3, 2019
Hello all, I am considering having a lip filler with the Hyaluron pen, I am afraid of needles. I'll do with a doctor. But I wonder if there are risks of vascular occlusion with the pen? I know a doctor should know anatomy and have hyaluronidase. But even in with trained and license doctors I know there are risks and it can happen. I want to know specifically about the Hyaluron pen and if it does have the risk of vascular occlusion, would the reason be because the HA can press on a vessel? THX

Lip fillers of different companies can be injected with overlap. However there are some concerns when fillers with high degree of crossing get mixed which are believed to have a higher risk of leading to later complications such as nodule formation.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face,...
