The appearance of granulomas as a result of the injection of permanent or semi-permanent filler products is an aesthetic complication that affects a large number of people and is often difficult to treat. The solution to this problem becomes even more complex when these granulomas are located in the vermilion of the lips.<\/p>\n

Dr. Montserrat Planas<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Head of the Laser Unit at Cl\u00ednica Planas, has developed the SR-LIP technique<\/strong> to remove granulomas<\/span><\/a> from the lips effectively and without scarring<\/strong>. Read on to find out how this treatment works and what its benefits are.<\/p>\n

What is a granuloma?<\/h2>\n

Years ago, the use of certain permanent and semi-permanent filler products became popular. These products were made from different materials and were injected into both the lips and other areas of the face. In many cases, the injection of these products has led to the formation of granulomas, usually at least six to eight years after their application.<\/p>\n

A granuloma develops when the body’s own immune system attempts to isolate these filler products, creating a mass of immune cells. In some cases, these granulomas may migrate or cause inflammation or aesthetically undesirable effects.<\/p>\n\"Solicita<\/picture><\/a>\n

How to treat granulomas depending on their location<\/h2>\n

Nasolabial folds, cheekbones and forehead<\/h3>\n

The appearance of granulomas in these and other areas of the face \u2014 excluding the lips \u2014 has the advantage that the filler product remains contained within a defined area, making it easier to remove<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Depending on factors such as the type of filler product and its condition, we use different removal methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Removal using a syringe and aspiration of the product, which is successful in very specific cases.<\/li>\n
  2. Use of an 800 nm diode laser assisted by optical fibre. This technique allows us to heat the product, making it easier to remove.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
