COVID Vaccine-Induced Filler Reactivity

Dr. Joel L. Cohen expounds on reports of dermal filler reactivity from the
COVID vaccine.

Existing reports of filler reactivity from the COVID vaccine are few, but also warrant a closer look to understand the cause, treatment options, and how best to counsel concerned patients. 

The Dermatology Digest recently sat down with dermatologist Joel L. Cohen, MD, to discuss ASDS guidelines, immune system response, and the potential effect treatments may have on vaccine efficacy. 

Dr. Cohen also addresses the questions: 

  • Is a particular filler linked to reactivity? 
  • Have any COVID vaccines other than Moderna been linked to reactivity?

Dr. Cohen is the director of AboutSkin Dermatology and DermSurgery in Greenwood and Lone Tree, Colo., and advisory board member for The Dermatology Digest
