▶Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)
Hyaluronic acid injections are used to lift and shape areas of the skin, as well as to enhance the height of features such as the nose. The effects of hyaluronic acid vary depending on the type, injection site, and the amount injected. Typically, the effects of the first treatment last for 3 to 6 months before being absorbed by the body. With repeated treatments, the effects become longer-lasting and more durable.
▶Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)
- Swelling: Some mild swelling may occur for a few days following the procedure. If swelling is particularly strong, applying a damp, cold towel can help reduce it.
- Bruising: Bruising (blue discoloration) may appear at the injection site. This usually resolves within about two weeks without any special treatment.
- Uneven Distribution of Hyaluronic Acid: In areas such as the nasolabial folds and under the eyes, the movement of the mouth, eyelids, and facial expressions such as smiling may, after some time, occasionally cause uneven distribution of the hyaluronic acid. If this happens, hyaluronidase (an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid) can be used to correct it, but this requires a separate fee.
- Changes in Skin Tone: In areas that require a larger amount of hyaluronic acid or in thinner skin areas (particularly under the eyes), the skin may appear pale or slightly translucent.
- Infection: In very rare cases, bacterial infection may occur, leading to localized swelling. If this happens, please return for a follow-up consultation. Treatment may include antibiotics or procedures to dissolve the hyaluronic acid, and this treatment incurs an additional fee.
- Circulatory Complications: In very rare cases, circulatory complications may occur due to the hyaluronic acid injection. If you experience increasing pain after the procedure, or if you notice any unusual sensations, especially in areas other than the treatment site, please contact us immediately. If it is after office hours, kindly reach out the next day for a follow-up appointment. There is a risk of skin necrosis, and treatment may be necessary to prevent further complications.
- Granulomas: In very rare cases, an excessive foreign body reaction to the hyaluronic acid may cause fibrous lumps or granulomas. Treatment for this can be difficult and may incur an additional fee.
▶Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Wrinkle Treatment)
- You may gently wash your face, shampoo your hair, take a shower and apply makeup starting from the day of the procedure. However, please refrain from taking a bath until the day after the procedure.
- If nitrous oxide (laughing gas) anesthesia was used, please refrain from driving a car, riding a motorcycle, and operating a bicycle or any other vehicle on the day of the procedure.
- Additional injections should be scheduled only after any swelling or bruising has fully subsided. At that time, a separate procedure fee will apply for the additional injection. If you wish to use local anesthesia or a microcannula, those fees will also be charged separately.
- If you have any questions or notice anything unusual, please do not hesitate to contact us.
