Long-term hyaluronic acid injection sequelae

Are there any side effects from long-term hyaluronic acid injections? Many people worry about this issue, but in theory you should try to do as little as possible. Although hyaluronic acid is a component that our body already contains, under normal circumstances, the synthesis and metabolism of hyaluronic acid is in a dynamic balance. Injectable beauty treatments involve deliberately injecting exogenous hyaluronic acid into the human body, which may affect this balance. The following is an analysis of the sequelae of long-term hyaluronic acid injections.

Is your face swollen after hyaluronic acid injection?

Many girls worry that it would be unsafe if their face swells after injecting hyaluronic acid. In fact, it is normal to have slight swelling about 3 days after injecting hyaluronic acid. Generally speaking, there will be a swelling period after injecting hyaluronic acid. This is because hyaluronic acid has a certain water absorption capacity. After the water is slowly metabolized, the edema on your face will return to normal.

Generally, the peak period of swelling is within 72 hours after hyaluronic acid injection, that is, swelling will appear in the first three days, and will gradually subside on the fourth day. The swelling will completely subside after a week, revealing your most beautiful appearance. Of course, because each of us has a different physical constitution, the length of the swelling period may vary slightly.

Can’t wear makeup after injecting hyaluronic acid?

Within 12 hours of injection, do not apply medicine or makeup on the injection site or around the needle hole to avoid skin irritation. Just keep your face bare. You can wash your face and put on makeup 24 hours after the injection.
