In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, J Marie Skin Studio is working diligently to keep our patients and staff safe by following the most recent guidelines recommended by CMS, the CDC and hospitals. Govenor Polis has issued a new guideline for wearing masks indoors. We are a medical spa vs a day spa/salon, so we will adhere to the guidelines from our medical director and CO medical board. We will continue to keep our patients updated with the information given to us by the national, state and local officials. Please call 303-641-8670 to schedule. Stay healthy and safe. We're all in this together. We are looking forward to returning to full operation as soon as possible!
The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery has released a guidance regarding COVID-19 vaccine side effects in dermal filler patients. FDA data reports show three of 15,184 participants who received at least one dose of Moderna's mRNA-1273 vaccine have developed lip for facial swelling in the area of dermal filler placement, while no participants in the placebo group experienced any filler related adverse events.
Current ASDS guidance regarding dermal fillers and the vaccine are as follows:
Dermal filler inflammatory events very seldom occur with both hyaluronic acid and non-hyaluronic acid fillers. Evidence suggests these reactions can be immunologically triggered by viral and bacterial illness, vaccinations (i.e., influenza vaccine) and dental procedures. These rare adverse events are temporary and respond to treatments such as oral corticosteroids and hyaluronidase, and often times resolve without treatment. Patients who have had vaccines should not be precluded from receiving dermal fillers in the future. Our medical director has advised us to NOT INJECT DERMAL FILLERS 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO RECEIVING YOUR COVID VACCINATION, OR 2 WEEKS AFTER RECEIVING YOUR COVID VACCINATION.
