Dermal fillers

[Burleigh]

Hello. Not sure where to post this. Just wondering if anyone has discussed the possibility of whether cosmetic fillers like Restylane might contain gluten. It was injected around my lips and symptoms, exactly as I've experienced if I've eaten a gluten containing food in error, began to occur. Because gluten is a cohesive, elastic protein, it seems possible that manufacturers might think gluten would be a perfect ingredient for dermatological fillers. Thanks in advance for sharing any information on fillers.

Seems unlikely.  I am sure the place that did it could show you the ingredients.  And you actually need to eat the gluten - the reaction happens in the small intestines.  Technically injecting gluten under your skin would not do that.

Nope, this is not the problem. You have to eat gluten for this reaction to appear.

There are many on this forum that will testify otherwise. There are many substances that enter the bloodstream transdermally.
