Abstract:
Hyaluronic acid fillers have been proposed as an alternative to other temporary skin fillers for treating facial skin lines and providing soft tissue augmentation. There is no antigenic specificity for species or tissue; thus, these agents have a low potential for allergic or immunogenic reaction. However, there are a few reports about allergic hypersensitivity reactions to hyaluronic acid. We report here on the case of a woman who developed a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to the non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid filler, Restylane(R).
