BSURE DNA test
Filler treatments are extremely popular. Cosmetic procedures using fillers have been performed for over 20 years in the UAE. How can you minimise the risk of complications? 1. Choose an experienced doctor. 2. Discuss using an A-brand filler with your doctor. 3. Consider a DNA test, such as the BSURE test, to check if you have a genetic predisposition to complications from fillers.
Filler Treatments Are Becoming Safer
Every year in the UAE, thousands of filler treatments are performed. In the vast majority of cases, patients are highly satisfied with their cosmetic results. Occasionally, media reports highlight complications — but this risk exists with any medical procedure. Fortunately, the likelihood of complications has decreased significantly over time. This is thanks to safer, internationally recognised A-brand fillers and the growing expertise of licensed doctors, supported by training from global aesthetic academies and educational initiatives overseen by local health authorities such as the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DOH), and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP).
Genetic Predisposition for Complications After Filler Treatments
Since the ban on permanent fillers, the risk of serious complications has become much lower. However, in rare cases, complications can still occur. Leading research suggests that some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to complications following a filler treatment. This genetic trait can trigger an extreme immune response, causing the body to reject the filler.
The chance of carrying this genetic predisposition is very low — but if you do have it, the risk of complications is higher. A simple DNA test can reveal whether you carry this trait. If you are planning to have fillers in the future, you may want to consider taking the BSURE DNA test. While most people will not have the predisposition, the test can provide peace of mind and certainty.

Who is the BSURE DNA Test For?
Fillers are commonly used to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and improve facial contours. Popular treatments include lip fillers, tear trough fillers, jawline fillers, and fillers for wrinkles around the mouth. A filler treatment typically lasts 9–18 months, after which you may choose to have a follow-up treatment.
Since your DNA doesn’t change, the results of the BSURE DNA test will tell you once and for all whether you have a higher risk of complications. The DNA test is especially recommended if you have previously had a strong reaction to fillers, have an (auto)immune disorder, or suffer from multiple allergies.
Does a BSURE DNA Test Eliminate the Risk of Serious Complications?
Complications can occur during or after a filler treatment. While extremely rare, they can still happen. It is always recommended to choose an experienced and qualified cosmetic doctor.
If the BSURE DNA test shows that you are not at increased risk, the likelihood of serious complications is not zero, but it is significantly lower than if you do have a genetic predisposition.
