What this site is for
It exists for one purpose: to let a patient or a family member recognise a vascular occlusion after a dermal filler injection and get to care in the first minutes. That is why the emergency routing sits above every explanation on this page, why the first line of the page says that minutes matter, and why the findings that need immediate care are repeated in the asset rather than stated once.
What it deliberately does not do
It does not name brands of products or devices: substances are described by class only. It does not quote prices or doses, because a dose is a clinical decision rather than patient information. It does not suggest that dissolving a filler undoes the damage, that skin which has been lost can be restored, or that a revision reliably corrects what an occlusion left behind. It publishes no emergency telephone number, room number or opening hours of its own.
The facts kept visible
Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. The site of the injection is not the site of the damage, because the product travels with the blood flow. Only a filler of the enzyme-dissolvable class can be dissolved, and dissolving it removes the cause rather than repairing the tissue. And recognition is the treatment: tissue starved of blood does not recover on its own, so the minutes before a call are the minutes that matter most.
How the content is reviewed and corrected
Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the responsible physician. Every guide is reviewed against her clinical judgement before publication and reviewed again on a six-month cycle. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and corrections are made to the page itself.
