Aesthetic Safety Signals
Adverse-event report counts for the injectables, fillers, and devices you use — pulled from the FDA's FAERS (drugs) and MAUDE (devices) databases. 352,492 reports tracked across 15 products.
Read these carefully — they are signals, not verdicts. An adverse-event report does not prove the product caused the event. Counts are not adjusted for how widely a product is used, anyone can file a report, and totals reflect all reported history. Use this to know what to watch and ask about — not to rank products.
