The : The most popular lip fillers, restylane, (dermal fillers) juvederm and perlane, have a very low risk of an allergic reaction. Their major component is hyaluronic acid, a normal component of our lips and joints.

Allergic : Allergic reactions to lip fillers are very unusual because most current fillers are generated from recombinant dna techniques. Artefill still requires a skin test due to the collagen content. Allergic reactions may develop as a result of the a response to other minor components but this is exceptionally rare.
