While complications are uncommon, all medical treatments carry potential risks and side effects. Our experienced team carefully assesses each patient to determine whether treatment is appropriate and to help minimise the risk of complications.
If complications do occur, our highly trained doctors are experienced in recognising and managing them promptly.
Please note that we do not treat patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with known allergies to the anaesthetic used during treatment.
Infection
If you experience increasing pain or redness at the treatment site, please get in touch with us immediately, 24/7.
Vascular Complications
Although rare, urgent treatment may be required if a blood vessel becomes blocked. Please call us immediately on (03) 7001 3500 if you experience pain or any changes in skin colour, including whitening, purple discolouration, or darkening of the skin after treatment.
If you have any questions or concerns, we’re always here to help.
If you have a side effect lasting more than a few days, please call our team to make an appointment. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
