The Aesthetic Complications Expert (ACE) Group World has released new guidance on dermal filler delayed onset reactions following COVID-19 infection and vaccinations.

​

Although there has been limited studies and currently very few published cases that demonstrate delayed onset nodules (DONs) or delayed onset reactions (DORs) following either the COVID-19 vaccination or infection, it is a cause of concern to all aesthetic practitioners.

​

Therefore, it has been advised that a client is not to have any dermal fillers two weeks prior to their vaccine/infection or three weeks post vaccine/infection.

​

In addition if you are experiencing COVID 19 like symptoms or have been in contact with someone with COVID 19, you are not to attend any clinic and must rearrange the appointment at the earliest convenience. 

​

There is currently no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination or infection has effects on other aesthetic procedures, including botulinum toxin. However, the ACE Group recommends avoiding treatments for one week post vaccine, due to some patients becoming unwell and experiencing flu-like symptoms following vaccination.
