Ensuring Dermal Filler Safety: The R+H Commitment

In an industry where more and more individuals are administering medical injectables as a side-hustle, or establishments lacking physician oversight are becoming more prevalent, the importance of choosing a trusted provider for dermal filler treatments cannot be overstated. Today, we delve into a critical aspect of safety in aesthetic procedures—the risk of vascular occlusions (VO) associated with dermal filler injections—and how R+H Aesthetic Medicine safeguards our patients.

Understanding Vascular Occlusions: What You Should Know

Vascular occlusions occur when a blood vessel supplying oxygen and nutrients to the skin is blocked, typically due to filler injections. Although rare, these complications can lead to severe consequences if not promptly addressed, including tissue necrosis and even blindness.

Prevention Is Key: Our Proactive Approach

At R+H Aesthetic Medicine, we prioritize preventive measures to minimize the risk of vascular occlusions during dermal filler injections through:

  • Rigorous training for our licensed and experienced professionals to identify early signs of complications.

  • Comprehensive patient consultations to assess medical histories and identify potential risk factors.

  • Excellent understanding of facial anatomy among our providers for safe and precise filler injections.

Furthermore, our emphasis on continuous education enhances patient outcomes and keeps our providers updated on the latest techniques and safety protocols. At R+H, we often say that our providers' "love language" is education.

Advanced Safety Measures: Setting the Standard

What sets R+H apart is our commitment to advanced safety measures and preparedness. Alongside our years of expertise, we have invested in equipment and resources to address complications swiftly and effectively. In the event of a vascular occlusion, our facility is equipped with ample Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers to alleviate blockages. In addition to other medications, we also have ultrasound technology available for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Does your dermal filler injector have this at the ready?  An emergency vascular occlusion kit, ultrasound machine, and multiple unexpired vials of Hyaluronidase (“Hylenex”).

Moreover, we take pride in having an onsite or near-site physician oversight of all procedures. This oversight ensures that our protocols align with the highest medical standards, offering our patients peace of mind throughout their aesthetic journey.

Considering Another Provider? Ask These Essential Questions Before Getting Dermal Fillers:

  • Do you have licensed and experienced professionals who undergo rigorous training in identifying early signs of dermal filler complications such as a vascular occlusion?

  • How comprehensive are your patient consultations in assessing medical histories and potential risk factors?

  • What is the level of understanding of facial anatomy among your providers for safe and precise filler injections?

  • Do you provide continuous education and training opportunities for your providers to stay updated on the latest techniques and safety protocols?

  • Do you have a vascular occlusion kit that contains Hyaluronidase, and other medications to help reverse the occlusion?  Do you have an ultrasound machine available?

  • Is there physician oversight of your facility to ensure adherence to the highest medical standards?
