Question:

Answer:
Teosyal is not a brand we use at The Victorian Cosmetic Institute. It is a hyaluronic acid based product. The irregularities that you are experiencing however are most likely to be a result of bruising/swelling and injector technique. It is still early days for you yet, and things may improve with time, or you may require a touch up. For those with cold sores (herpes simplex virus) we do recommend a dose of anti-viral medication on the day of the procedure to reduce the chance of this.
