Vascular complications are rare and serious side effects, although they are widely known and documented in the context of dermal filler injections.They are related to the accidental injection of the product inside a blood vessel, leading to its occlusion.The local deprivation of blood supply causes tissue anoxia.If enough hyaluronidase is injected on time, symptoms can be fully resolved without sequelae.If the vascular complication is not detected, diagnosed, and treated promptly, it can lead to skin necrosis.The risk of such adverse reactions is mentioned in the instructions for use of teoxane products.This is default text configured for block h10.
