Hi! I recirved one syringe of Voluma to my cheeks and 15 units of Botox to my Glabella region. Injections were painless, didn't swell or anything. As I was checking out at the desk I started to feel faint and then suddenly passed out. Complete collapse, hit my head and all. The staff scattered to me and had me lay for awhile and drink some water. They said I was ghostly pale. After a bit I felt fine. I've felt fine since. A healthy 22 yr old. What caused this? Am I fine to get the procedures done again?

Answer: Vasovagal response after injections Thank you for your question, and sorry to hear about your experience. I would recommend that you go to a physicians office to have your future injections. They would be able to explain what is happening and help manage your symptoms. a vasovagal response occurs when your blood pressure drops and there is less blood flow to the brain in response to an anxiety provoking experience.

Answer: You had a vasovagal response You had was is known as a vasovagal response, a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure in response to a stressful trigger, like the sight of blood, a needle poke, or even an emotional situation. It's benign and is generally treated by resting supine, hydrating with water, etc. For the future, I recommend staying in the exam chair for a few minutes after your Botox and fillers before getting up. Also have something to eat prior to your procedure.
