Does Polynucleotide injection on the face cause blindness?

Question

Dear Doctors, Please could someone tell me if polynucleotides could pose the same risk as dermal fillers like blindness?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Polynucleotide injections, like other facial injectables, carry certain risks, but the risk of blindness is typically associated with dermal fillers, particularly when they are accidentally injected into or compress a blood vessel that supplies the eye. Polynucleotides, often used for skin rejuvenation, generally have a different mechanism of action and are less likely to pose this specific risk compared to fillers.

However, it is crucial to have any injectable procedure performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional who understands facial anatomy and can minimize risks. Always discuss potential risks and benefits with your provider before proceeding with any treatment.
