At Pharmaskin Aesthetics, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. While aesthetic treatments are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals, it is essential to understand how potential complications occur and are managed. As professionals we need to be educated to the risks and complications affecteing the face and blood supply in the area we are treating. Our Complications Management protocol ensures that every patient receives the highest standard of care, from prevention to resolution.
Our Commitment to Safety
We believe that the best way to manage complications is to prevent them. Education is the key. Action is the solution. This starts with a thorough consultation, where we assess your medical history, skin type, and aesthetic goals. We use only premium, regulated products and follow strict clinical guidelines to minimize risks.
Identifying Potential Complications
Common side effects of aesthetic treatments include mild swelling, bruising, or redness, which typically resolve within a few days. However, more serious complications, though rare, can occur. These may include:
- Migration with dermal fillers
- Use of Hyalase
- Vascular Occlusion or Compression
- Lumps and Nodules
- Allergic reactions
- Infections
- ย (blockage of a blood vessel)
- Delayed onset nodules
- Hematoma, Bruising, Ecchymosis, Cold sores and Tyndall Effect
- Infections
Our Management Protocol
In the unlikely event of a complication, Pharmaskin Aesthetics is fully equipped to provide emergency, immediate and effective management. Our protocol includes:
1. Immediate Assessment
If you experience any unusual symptoms after your treatment, such as severe pain, skin blanching (whitening), or spreading redness, we advise you to contact us immediately. We provide a dedicated emergency contact for post-treatment concerns.
2. Clinical Intervention
Our practitioners are trained in advanced complication management. For example, in cases of vascular occlusion involving dermal fillers, we carry emergency supplies of Hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler and restore blood flow instantly.
3. Specialist Referral
While most issues can be managed in-clinic, we maintain strong links with medical specialists and emergency services to ensure you receive further care if necessary.
Post-Treatment Support
Recovery doesn’t end when you leave the clinic. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Our team is always available to answer your questions and provide reassurance during your healing journey.
Your trust is important to us. By choosing Pharmaskin Aesthetics, you are choosing a clinic that prioritizes clinical excellence and patient safety above all else.
