Things to note after hyaluronic acid filling

Among our skin care products, many brands will claim in their promotion that they are rich in hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a skin tissue substance, and a high hyaluronic acid content will make the skin look smoother and more elastic, and make people look younger. Therefore, many people use hyaluronic acid to fill their faces or body parts in order to make them look fuller, but everyone should know the relevant precautions after hyaluronic acid filling.

Do not apply heat after hyaluronic acid injection

Many people think of using hot compresses to eliminate swelling after hyaluronic acid injections, but hot compresses cannot be used to eliminate redness or bruising on the face after hyaluronic acid injections. Although hot compress can promote blood circulation in the face, it will affect the function and properties of hyaluronic acid, so hot compress should not be used after hyaluronic acid injection.

Do not apply ice after hyaluronic acid injection

Many people believe that ice compresses can reduce swelling, so whenever there is swelling, they think of using ice compresses to reduce swelling. In fact, there is nothing wrong with using ice compresses to reduce swelling, but it is not suitable in some special circumstances. Hyaluronic acid injection is to inject hyaluronic acid into the dermis of the skin in the form of a filler to achieve a filling effect. There will be slight swelling in the area where the hyaluronic acid has been injected. This is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to panic too much, but you cannot use your usual ice compress method to reduce swelling. Because after hyaluronic acid is injected into the body, hyaluronic acid needs a process of fusion with the human body. If you use ice compress to reduce swelling, it will accelerate the decomposition of hyaluronic acid, shortening the effect. Using ice compresses will not only reduce swelling but also decompose the hyaluronic acid, resulting in no effect. Therefore, do not take measures to reduce the swelling immediately after hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty. Instead, apply ice compresses one month later. This will help to shape the nose and enhance the effect after hyaluronic acid filling.

Keep your body straight within 4 hours after hyaluronic acid injection

Because it takes a certain amount of time for hyaluronic acid to blend with the human body after being injected, keep your body straight within 4 hours after the injection of hyaluronic acid. This can prevent the hyaluronic acid from shifting to other locations where it was originally injected.

Avoid wearing makeup within 24 hours after hyaluronic acid injection

Within 24 hours after the injection of hyaluronic acid, you should avoid touching the wound with your hands, and you should not wash your face or put on makeup to prevent the needle site of the hyaluronic acid injection on the face from being invaded by bacteria and causing infection.

Avoid facial massage within one week after injection

After hyaluronic acid is injected into the body, it originally plays a shaping role. Therefore, within one week after the injection of hyaluronic acid, facial massage should be avoided to avoid the loss of hyaluronic acid.

The head posture should not be changed frequently after hyaluronic acid injection

After injecting hyaluronic acid filler, it is not advisable to change the head posture frequently. This is because the more frequently the head posture is changed, the worse the effect of the injection will be. Therefore, within one week of the injection, it is not advisable to change the head posture frequently, such as turning the head frequently or shaking the head.

Be careful when eating after injecting hyaluronic acid to fill your lips

One week after lip augmentation surgery, try not to touch your lips when eating, and avoid eating too cold or too hot food to accelerate the loss of hyaluronic acid. Avoid contact with the injection area for 24 hours.

Do not smoke or drink alcohol within one week after hyaluronic acid injection

After injecting hyaluronic acid, smoking and drinking are not allowed, because hyaluronic acid filling is non-animal stable hyaluronic acid, smoking and drinking will affect the activity of non-animal stable hyaluronic acid, which is not conducive to the effect of hyaluronic acid filling; and after hyaluronic acid injection, the skin at the injection site is still relatively fragile, and drinking may cause wound allergies, which is not conducive to rapid recovery of the wound. In severe cases, it may also affect wound infection; in addition, alcohol will stimulate the body's blood circulation, and right after the injection of hyaluronic acid filler, there may be slight swelling at the injection site. Drinking at this time is likely to aggravate the swelling.
