HSA has been informed of a probable adverse event suspected to be related to the dermal filler. While investigations are still on-going, physicians who have existing stocks of the Aqualift™ Dermal Filler are advised to stop using it immediately and to monitor any patients who have received such treatment. HSA has instructed Celeste (S) Pte Ltd to recall the product from the market.
In addition, the Medical Device Branch of HSA will be updating the list of medical devices applications that have been rejected due to safety concerns on the HSA website.
