When to call
The most serious risk with any dermal filler is vascular occlusion, where product blocks or compresses a blood vessel. It is rare, and it is the reason filler should only ever be given by a medical professional trained to recognise and treat it. At Avismo hyaluronidase, the enzyme that dissolves filler, is kept on site, and you are given a direct number to call straight away if you notice unusual pain, whitening or mottling of the skin, or any change in your vision.
The clinic number is 07958 129660. If you are worried, call or message rather than wait. If you cannot reach us and it is urgent, call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.
