Abstract

Considering the increase in demand for aesthetic procedures by the general population, studies related to these procedures, techniques and products used to satisfy this social desire have grown exponentially. This rise directly impacts the biomedical area and professionals linked to this science. Thus, based on this assumption and given the vast need for in-depth knowledge due to the direct connection to people's health and well-being, we seek to deepen the studies of the main complications of the application of hyaluronic acid as a facial filler. Therefore, in the elaboration of this work, a bibliographic survey was carried out focusing on the approach of the adverse effects resulting from the application of hyaluronic acid as an aesthetic procedure. Above all, regarding the risks arising from these procedures, in particular, from the hyaluronic acid applied to the face and serve as a warning of the unfavorable consequences resulting from the application, both those known by science and those that still need further studies, even with the indication of possible treatments that can mitigate the occurrence and/or consequence of such intercurrences and, as they are unavoidable, present paths already known by science to repair the consequences resulting from such application. This research shows that the use of hyaluronic acid as a facial filler is recurrent. And yet, although they are remote, there are several complications arising from the application of HA, some more serious and others milder, which deserve attention and specialized qualification of the professional who uses this method. It is concluded that, although there are treatments on the market that can reverse some complications, the technical capacity of the specialized professional is essential to perform the aesthetic procedure in which hyaluronic acid is used as a filler, due to the observance of the most diverse spectra that can influence both in the procedure and in relation to the patient.
