SINGAPORE — A Health Sciences Authority (HSA) investigation into the dermal filler AestheFill has found no evidence of product-related safety and quality issues, after a woman lost her vision in the first reported case of its kind in Singapore.
The authority on Thursday said it had concluded its probe into AestheFill, a dermal filler from South Korea that temporarily reduces wrinkles and folds in the skin.
It will also develop an information leaflet for healthcare professionals to explain the risks of the procedure to patients. The results of the chemical and microbiological tests were within the specifications, indicating that the product was manufactured according to the required standards and is safe for use, it said.
Blindness due to blood vessel blockage is a known risk for dermal fillers, and consumers should be aware of these risks, the authority said.
