Risks of Injection
Trauma during the procedure is caused by needles and cannulas passing through tissue, and includes bleeding, bruising, haematoma, damage to underlying structures. In rare cases this could require medical intervention.
Infection: Bacterial, viral or fungal infections can occur post procedure. Injections into the lip area could trigger cold sores (Herpes simplex infections).
Reactions: Rarely occur but can include an immediate reaction causing swelling, and very rarely life threatening anaphylaxis.
Unwanted Visual Side Effects: Lumps, swelling, increase in asymmetry can occur and can be temporary or permanent.
Blood Vessel Blockage: In rare instances a blood vessel may become blocked by the filler and can cause necrosis and permanent scarring. Extremely rare cases of stroke and blindness can also occur.

Microneedling with or without PDGF/PRP Consent Form
Microneedling is a collagen inducing therapy modality that allows for controlled induction of the skin's self repair mechanisms by creating multiple micro injuries to the skin to stimulate collagen production. This results in smoother, firmer and younger looking skin and is performed by a sterile microneedling pen.
The area is prepped with local lidocaine cream 30 minutes before the procedure after removing all makeup. The procedure takes about 15–30 minutes. Immediately after the procedure the area is treated with PDGF or the patient's own PRP to give back growth factors for collagen stimulation.
Side Effects
After the procedure the treated skin will be red and flushed, comparable to a moderate sunburn. One may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch. Redness will start to diminish within a few hours and roughly by 3 days will return back to normal.
Contraindications
- Keloid or hypertrophic scars
- Active acne or Accutane use in the last 3 months
- History of eczema, psoriasis, or other chronic skin conditions
- Herpes infection, warts, or raised moles
Absolute Contraindications
- Use of any blood thinners in the last 7 days
- Scleroderma or collagen vascular diseases
- Blood clotting conditions
- Active infections
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Skin radiation treatments
Patient Consent

- I am advised that though good results are expected, the possibility and nature of complications cannot be accurately anticipated and there is no guarantee as expressed or implied either as to the success or other result of treatment. I am aware that microneedling is not permanent as natural degradation and aging will happen over time.
- Because this treatment should not be performed under certain medical conditions, I affirm that I have stated all medical conditions and answered all the questions honestly. I agree to keep Dr. Kumar updated on any change in my health prior to my future sessions and understand that there shall be no liability on the provider nor on the part of Dr. Kumar should I fail to do so.
