How to deal with allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid injection

Water-light injection is a very common beauty technique in medical cosmetology in recent years. It mainly uses water-light injection to replenish moisture inside the skin, making the skin look more elastic, delicate and smooth. Many people want to know how to deal with allergies to hyaluronic acid injections before getting them. In fact, as long as you take good care after getting them, allergies are rare. Let’s learn what you need to pay attention to after getting a hyaluronic acid injection.

1. What should you pay attention to after getting a water light injection?

1. Don’t wash your face immediately

You cannot wash your face immediately after getting a hyaluronic acid injection, as it will easily irritate the skin and cause infection, thus affecting the beauty effect. Within 6 hours after the injection of the hyaluronic acid injection, you should pay attention to keeping the treated area dry, avoid getting it wet, and do not wear makeup or use skin care products to reduce the chance of postoperative infection. You can wash your face only on the second day after the injection.

2. Do not rub the injection site hard

After the hyaluronic acid injection, you should also be careful not to rub the injection site hard, because after the hyaluronic acid injection, slight sores and tiny channels will be left on the skin surface. The skin will start to repair and fight in time. At this time, you must carry out intensive skin care within 72 hours. This is very important.

Moreover, because the hyaluronic acid injected into the dermis has very good water absorption and moisture retention capabilities, and thus absorbs a large amount of water and nutrients, some patients may appear relatively dry (this is a normal phenomenon, indicating that their skin's current absorption capacity is very good, and a large amount of water and nutrient replenishment is sufficient). Therefore, you can use skin care products with high moisturizing ingredients.

3. Wash your face and wring out the towel

When washing your face after injecting a hyaluronic acid injection, you should first pay attention to wringing out the towel used for washing your face, and do not drop water on the needle hole, so as to prevent bacteria in the water from entering the skin through the needle hole, causing infection, and thus affecting the effect of the hyaluronic acid injection.

4. Avoid pinholes when washing your face

After injecting the hyaluronic acid injection, you should pay attention to keeping the injection site dry, so be careful not to touch the needle hole when washing your face, and it is not appropriate to use facial cleanser to clean the needle hole. You should also pay attention to avoid the needle hole when doing skin care after cleansing to prevent infection at the needle hole.

5. Use warm water to wash your face

When it is time to wash your face, use warm water to wash it. The water temperature should not exceed body temperature, because overheated or overcooled water will cause the loss of the hydrating injection ingredients to accelerate, thus affecting the effect.

6. Wait at least three days before putting on makeup

You can put on makeup at least three days after the hydrating injection, and it is best to put on makeup after 14 days (two weeks). This is because after the hydrating injection treatment, our epidermis will bleed and be injured (hydrating without piercing the epidermis is needle-free hydrating), and it is certainly not suitable to put on makeup if there is trauma on the skin. After all, cosmetics are composed of a matrix plus other ingredients such as antioxidants, preservatives, fragrances, surfactants, moisturizers, pigments and skin penetrants. If these ingredients enter the body through the wound caused by our hyaluronic acid injection, they will cause irritation symptoms such as redness, swelling, infection, and stinging.

7. Slight redness and swelling is normal

If slight redness and swelling occur after the hyaluronic acid injection, don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon. When the body's tissue nutrients "human-like peptides" are sufficient, it will gradually disappear in about a week. Also, be careful not to rush to put on makeup. Wait until the redness and swelling disappear before putting on makeup.

8. Follow up with facial mask

In order to achieve good results, the doctor may provide advanced repair of the cheek area as needed (such as facial mask, ice pack, beauty care, decongestion, etc.). Please ask for the follow-up matching details in time and do not be careless.

9. Avoid spicy food

Avoid spicy and high-calorie foods to prevent sweating from infecting the wound.
