Why Medical Expertise Matters

Our medical expertise, precise anatomical knowledge, and exact injection technique greatly minimize risks. We also use only premium fillers with extremely low levels of impurities to reduce the chance of autoimmune reactions, inflammation, and other delayed complications. This ensures that your treatment is not only aesthetically effective but also maximally safe. Schedule an appointment at our Berlin practice to discuss your individual options.

Why the Purity of Dermal Fillers Determines Your Safety

The quality and safety of dermal fillers are not only defined by their lifting or volumizing effect, but also by their purity. Scientific studies show that impurities in fillers can increase the risk of complications. These include delayed autoimmune or inflammatory reactions (the immune system attacking the injected tissue), biofilm formation (persistent bacterial layers that are hard to treat), and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs – substances that can interfere with the body’s hormone balance). The amount and type of impurities are now recognized as key quality parameters of commercially available fillers. In simple terms: the cleaner and purer the product, the safer it is for patients. High impurity levels can contribute to unwanted side effects such as tissue hardening, swelling that persists for months, or even systemic reactions. For us as physicians, patient safety always comes first. This is why we use only premium fillers that meet the highest international purity standards. Our products undergo extensive purification processes to minimize harmful residues. This significantly reduces the risk of long-term complications and ensures that your results are not only beautiful, but also safe.

Risks and Medical Safety

Filler treatments are generally safe when performed by experienced physicians using high-quality products. However, in very rare cases, serious complications can occur. If a blood vessel is accidentally blocked by the injected filler, the affected tissue may no longer receive sufficient blood flow. This reduced circulation can lead to tissue damage, medically referred to as necrosis. Necrosis means that cells die, which in severe cases can result in visible skin defects, permanent scarring, or even tissue loss. In extremely rare situations, the blood supply to the eye may be affected, carrying the risk of permanent vision impairment or blindness. In exceptional cases, severe necrosis may even require surgical intervention, including partial removal of affected tissue.
