Possible side effects

Salvecoll® can have side effects, although not everyone experiences them. The administration of Salvecoll® requires surgical intervention, thus adverse effects that may occur as a result of those interventions, but are not necessarily associated with the gel or membrane itself may include:

• Bleeding at the injection site
• Infection at the site of injection
• Nausea
• Fever and pain
• Rash
• Cyanosis and edema

The following side effects can be associated with the use of Salvecoll®:

• Discoloration of the treated area
• Erythema (skin redness)
• Tenderness and swelling at the injection site

The following phenomenon are not observed when using Salvecoll®:

• Migration from the injection site
• Formation of granulomas
• Skin pigmentation
• Atrophy

Furthermore, over correction is permissible and disappears without any intervention. Necrosis can occur only when the site treated is infected.
