COVID Vaccine and Fillers

Worried about COVID Vaccine and Fillers

Are your worried about COVID-19 Vaccination and fillers?   We are greeted by the news that a few people who have dermal fillers have had adverse reactions to a COVID-19 vaccine. Patients are now worried about the COVID-19 vaccination and possible side effects it might have with fillers injected.   Some patients are concerned about HA injections in their knees as well.   

Thus far, only 3 cases have been reported in volunteers who had the Moderna Vaccination (Pfeizer vaccine has not reported issues with the dermal fillers side effects).

Two of those patients had prior dermal fillers in their cheeks within six months before vaccination. The other had received dermal filler in the lip two days after receiving the vaccine.  ( We are not sure of the type of fillers Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Versa, Bellafill, etc)  

It has been noted that the swelling in the three clinical trial volunteers resolved following treatment with steroids or antihistamines.


                                                    For safety purposes, all Fillers should be injected by a physician ONLY.  


FDA has concluded in a briefing document that “it is possible the localized swelling in these cases is due to an inflammatory reaction from interaction between the immune response after vaccination and the dermal filler. This phenomenon has been reported after natural infection (e.g., after an influenza-like illness).”


We are not minimizing the potential side effects, this story should absolutely not stop people with fillers from receiving the vaccine. We spent some time looking at all the available information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other available sources, and we can confidently say that patients should not be concerned about getting the vaccine after receiving fillers.  

Patients should be aware of the side effects and contact their physicians immediately if swelling, irritation or any other side effects occurring with Moderna Vaccine. 


Please Note that there are no reports of COVID Vaccine side effect using any of the Botulinum Toxin such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau.  


At New Skin Laser Center, we have physicians who perform all of the medical procedures and are available for virtual consultations as well.  


If you have any questions or concerns, give New Skin Laser Center a call.

Weight loss program with semaglutide, ozempic and wegovy.
By Allen Darush 30 Jan, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, are you tired of feeling like a beached whale on the beach? Are you done with feeling self-conscious about your weight every time you step on the scale? Well, have no fear because Wegovy (Semaglutide) is here!

Wegovy is the latest and greatest weight loss sensation on the market. It's like a magic potion for weight loss, except it's not magic, it's science. Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it works by activating receptors in the body that control appetite and blood sugar levels. In simpler terms, it makes you feel full and reduces the amount of sugar absorbed into the bloodstream. So, you can finally say goodbye to those pesky cravings and hello to a slimmer you!

But wait, there's more! Wegovy not only helps you lose weight but also improves other health conditions related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Imagine being able to fit into those jeans you haven't worn in years AND improve your health at the same time. Talk about a win-win situation!

But before you run to your nearest pharmacy, there are a few things you should know. Wegovy is a prescription medication, which means you'll need to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of the medication before starting treatment. Also, you should know that Wegovy should be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. It's not a magic pill, and you can't just sit on the couch eating pizza and expect to lose weight. But let's be real, who wants to give up pizza anyway?

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room (no pun intended), weight loss can be a long and tedious process. But let's not forget that weight loss is a journey, not a destination. It's important to set realistic goals and to be patient with yourself. Losing weight too quickly can lead to health problems, and the weight may come back just as quickly as it was lost. A healthy rate of weight loss is around 1-2 pounds per week. And remember, weight loss is not just about the number on the scale, but also about improving overall health and well-being.

In conclusion, Wegovy (Semaglutide) will help you to lose weight and improve your health. So, don't wait any longer, talk to us at NewSkin Laser Center about Wegovy and start your weight loss journey today!  

P.S: Wegovy is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
