What are the disadvantages of hyaluronic acid injection?

As people in modern society pay more and more attention to their appearance, many of us are afraid that we will get old one day. So in addition to using some cosmetics in daily care, some friends will also inject hyaluronic acid. It is said that hyaluronic acid can make our skin firmer and younger, but some friends also reported that their entire face appeared stiffer after injecting hyaluronic acid. So what are the disadvantages of injecting hyaluronic acid? In the following time, please let me find out with you.

1) Precautions before injection:

Before treatment, please keep your skin clean and remove any makeup and skin care products. It is recommended to use cleanser and astringent to cleanse the skin. Use cool water to cleanse so that the pores are closed. Patients are strongly advised not to take anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin) at least 3-4 days before treatment, as they may aggravate bleeding and swelling at the injection site.

2) Precautions after injection:

After the injection treatment, please keep your face relaxed and avoid making excessive facial expressions. Please avoid exposure to high heat environments (such as saunas, etc.) for at least two weeks after treatment, as this may cause the hyaluronic acid injected into the face to be quickly decomposed, thereby shortening the filling effect. Do not touch or massage the injection site.

3) Adverse reactions:

Inflammatory reactions may occur on the skin, usually accompanied by pain upon pressing, which may last for about a week. There may also be temporary swelling at the injection site. If any adverse reactions persist, please notify the injecting physician immediately.

4) Contraindications:

There is a high risk of swelling or bleeding if this product is injected in pregnant or lactating women, patients under the age of 18, people with locally inflamed or infected skin, or those taking anticoagulants. For example, taking aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is recommended that doctors ask patients whether they are allergic to hyaluronic acid and their medical history before injection.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the dermal tissues of the human body, so it will not have toxic side effects such as self-rejection; it is not a protein, so the chance of causing allergic reactions is much reduced. But nothing is 100% perfect, and it has some imperfections. After the injection, there may be temporary slight redness, swelling, and itching, but these are also basic symptoms of all surgeries and usually disappear after a few days.

I believe that through the above we all understand, the majority of friends have become more vigilant and concerned about some of the disadvantages of hyaluronic acid injections. Of course, I would like to remind everyone that although everyone loves beauty, we must also choose some correct and scientific ways and methods to improve our appearance. It is best to stay away from methods that can quickly beautify your face, because their side effects will be relatively greater.
