Pimple Injection Failure: A Review on Flawless Aesthetic Center's Service
I suffered from two large zits for about two weeks. The zits are most likely under my skin; feels hard, not reddish but is surely swollen and the lump is obvious on the face.
I decided to visit one of the known and not so expensive cosmetic clinics in the metro - Flawless Aesthetic Center. I first had a facial treatment then asked for K.I. Injection (Pimple Injection).
Its been a month or two since I had the treatment and unfortunately, it had a side effect on me. It caused scarring and darkening of the affected areas, but what bothers me more is the shrinking of the skin tissue. There's like a blank space in my face when you feel it. I guess the doctor injected too much on the pimples. The dent is pretty obvious today.
I normally get pimple injection whenever I'm having a hard time subsiding acne by time. This is the first and only experience I had this effect and I'm pretty scared of getting another one.
I did some reading about this kind of effect; sunken skin, skin indentation, atrophic scar. Whichever. But to help you understand, here's a brief definition:
"An atrophic scar takes the form of a sunken recess in the skin, which has a pitted appearance. These are caused when underlying structures supporting the skin, such as fat or muscle, are lost. This type of scarring is often associated with acne,chickenpox, other diseases (especially staphylococcus [or MRSA] infection), surgery or accidents." (Wikipedia)
I plan to visit the same clinic and look for the doctor who had me injected. I haven't talked to any doctor yet but I'm still in the hope of getting this treated.

It may take a few injections of filler (i.e. hyaluronic acid filler like Juvederm or Restylane) but you can reverse this so try not to worry.
ReplyDeleteThe filler will promote collagen growth in the area so eventually the dent will fill out with your own collagen and you won't have to get more injections. I was left with a slight indention once after having a really nasty cystic pimple that required more than one cortisone injection. After the pimple fully healed, I went back to see my dermatologist about the dent. He flushed the dent out with saline solution (just to make sure all the cortisone was gone), then he filled it. It looked great and I was relieved to be back to normal. I think I went back and it had it filled one more time a few months later...but only b/c I am really particular about my skin being perfect. Haven't had to fill it since.
In my case, they advised me to take powerpeel. I tried it and I guess in less than a month, the dent seemed to disappear. Whew! Buti na lang!

Hi! Here's an updated post: http://tjcarbonel.blogspot.com/2012/03/flawless-pimple-injection-side-effeft.html
DeleteAs of now, medyo hindi na halata yung dent. :)
The doctor told me na kahit walang gawing treatment, babalik din naman sa dati ang skin in about 3 to 4 months. Nakaka-paranoid lang kasi hindi maganda tingnan. Hahaha
may nagreklamo na din yata sa kanila na ganito noon.
ReplyDeleteYup. A friend of mine who works in Flawless mentioned me. Katakot rin.
Deletewhere did u first had ur pimple injection? Ano ng nangyari ? Na-meet mo n b ung doctor? Tell us more
ReplyDeletewhere did u first had ur pimple/scar injection? How much? Tsaka ano ng nangyari? Na-meet mo na ba ung doctor? Tell us more
ReplyDeleteI had my first ever trial of KI in Flawless.
DeleteFlawless' KI cost P100 per inject.
In this case, I had consultation on three doctors.
Except the one who had me KI and Doc Michelle who was very eager replying in my concerns. :)

magkano po ang pa-inject?
ReplyDeleteHi Chiyamae. Flawless' KI cost P100 per inject.
DeleteIf you have a lot of pimples, I suggest you visit Slimmer's World.
They offer unlimited injection worth P500 per visit.
Saan yung Slimmer's World? Diba gym yun?
DeleteThey do have skin care, too. :) I noticed the recent comment I replied was 2 years ago. I am not sure if they still offer the same service. You may check their website and visit any Slimmer's Gym near your place. :)
DeleteHi! Nangyari sakin ngayon yan, :( Ask ko lang, since almost 9 months na "ata" yang dent, walang wala na ba siya ngayon? or meron parin? Thanks. :)
