Precautions for using hyaluronic acid products

Concern about body reaction: If unusual pain, swelling, bleeding or other discomfort occurs during the injection process, inform your doctor promptly so that he or she can take appropriate measures.

Pay attention to rest and diet: pay attention to rest after use, avoid strenuous exercise and overwork, and ensure sufficient sleep. In terms of diet, avoid spicy, stimulating foods and allergic foods such as seafood, so as not to aggravate local discomfort or trigger allergic reactions. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C and protein to help your body recover.

Observe the recovery: Pay close attention to the recovery of the injection site, including the degree of swelling, colour change, and whether there are hard nodules. If swelling increases, pain persists without relief, wound infection, skin discolouration and other abnormalities occur, you should consult a doctor for follow-up.

Avoid other stimuli: Before hyaluronic acid is fully absorbed and stabilised, avoid using stimulating cosmetics or skin care products at the injection site, as well as facial massage and treatment with beauty instruments, so as not to affect the effect of hyaluronic acid. At the same time, pay attention to sun protection and avoid direct sunlight on the injection site to prevent pigmentation.
