During the two studies that  have been conducted with Derma Veil (2001-2003 & 2002-2005)  several  adverse  events occurred  caused  by trauma  to  the  tissues  by  the puncture of the  needle  during  application  of anesthesia  or the implant.  The  most frequent  adverse  reactions  registered  in    the   participants were  erythema and ecchymosis. Also there were  several  cases of edema and hematoma as well as some bleeding

During  both  studies  none  of  the participants showed serious reactions, or secondary complications  of any nature neither during the investigation’s treatment sessions, nor afterwards during the close  to two year’s observation periods of each study.

Participants  expressed  various levels of pain caused  by the injection of anesthesia and the implant,    as  well  as  due  to  the  sensation  of  the  implant’s  presence. In every case, an ice  compress was     applied  to  the  participants for a few minutes to diminish blood flow. Afterwards  topical  anesthesia      ( Anestop  –  Pro-Medic )   was  applied   to   diminish   pain  due  to   the needle’s   puncture   when     applying  local   anesthesia  (Xylocaine, 2% lidocaine – Astra  Zeneca )  to  neutralize  in  turn  the      pain of the injection to infiltrate the product.
