Changes one week after hyaluronic acid injection

Hyaluronic acid injections are a cosmetic treatment used to improve wrinkles and sagging of the face and body. Hyaluronic acid is a glycoprotein that occurs naturally in the body and plays an important role in maintaining skin elasticity and hydration, making it a very popular cosmetic treatment.

Although its hyaluronic acid injections are a safe and effective cosmetic treatment, the possibility of side effects and complications is not entirely eliminated. Therefore, it is important to prevent risks before they occur by having a thorough consultation before undergoing the procedure. It will be important to have a thorough consultation and understand the risks and benefits of the treatment prior to injection.

Progress immediately after hyaluronic acid injection

Side effects such as swelling, redness, and blue seal (internal bleeding) at the injection site may occur during the first week after hyaluronic acid injection. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days to a week. Some individuals may continue to experience side effects for more than one week after injection, but should consult their physician.

One week after hyaluronic acid injection, wrinkles and sagging at the injection site can be expected to have improved, but there are individual differences, and the effect of treatment may vary from person to person. This is because the injected hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body at different rates, and the duration of treatment may vary from person to person.

During the first week after treatment, the skin needs adequate rest to heal. It is recommended that hot baths, saunas, strenuous exercise, and other stimulating activities be avoided within the first week after treatment. Also, avoid rubbing the injection site and washing the face with force.

Effect after 1 week

After one week after injection, hyaluronic acid penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin to produce a more long-lasting effect, but within a few weeks to a few months after treatment, skin firmness and hydration are expected to improve and wrinkles and sagging are expected to decrease.

The duration of hyaluronic acid injections ranges from several months to six months after treatment. The effect after one week is expected to be the disappearance of swelling and redness at the injection site and the improvement of wrinkles and sagging skin, although there are individual differences. After one week after the injection, the effect of the treatment is expected to improve and the skin's firmness and hydration will continue to improve. Whether the effect of the treatment lasts longer depends on the type and amount of hyaluronic acid injected, the injection site, and other factors.

Also, one week after hyaluronic acid injection, patients can usually wear makeup and go about their daily lives without any problems. However, it is important to avoid ultraviolet rays within one week after treatment, as it may be best to refrain from wearing makeup if the injection site is still swollen or red. Since UV rays can damage the skin, it is recommended to use a hat, parasol, or UV-blocking products within one week after treatment.

Of course, it is important to continue skin care according to the skin condition not only during the first week after the injection, but also after that. Moisturizers should be used to keep the skin moist, and UV protection should be taken. Regular cosmetic treatments and skin care will help maintain beautiful skin.

 

How to take care of yourself for 1 week after hyaluronic acid injection? Let's check other precautions!

The first week after hyaluronic acid injections is a healing period for the injected site, which varies from person to person and requires the utmost care. It is important to understand that one week after hyaluronic acid injection is the healing period of the injected area, and it is important to take appropriate care of the area. It is important to wait for the effects of the treatment to appear. By continuing to take appropriate care of the area after the first week of treatment, beautiful skin can be maintained for a long period of time. The following is a detailed explanation of what to expect one week after hyaluronic acid injections.

Keep injection site clean

Injection sites may experience side effects such as swelling, redness, and internal bleeding (blue seal). It is important to keep the injection site clean for one week after treatment. Wash your hands before touching the injection site. Also, gently clean the injection site, remove moisture with a clean towel, and use a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.

avoid stimulation

It is important to avoid any irritation to the injection site within the first week after treatment. Irritation such as hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise may worsen swelling and internal bleeding at the injection site. Heavy rubbing of the injection site may also aggravate internal bleeding. Light exercise, stretching, walking, or other light physical activity is recommended for the first week after treatment.

Care for internal bleeding

Internal bleeding (blue seal), which occurs within the first week after treatment, peaks 2-3 days after treatment and then gradually fades. If internal bleeding occurs, avoiding heat and applying cooling packs to the injection site can help reduce internal bleeding. Consuming foods high in vitamin K can also promote healing of internal bleeding.

Provide UV protection

It is important to avoid UV light within the first week after treatment. UV light can worsen swelling and internal bleeding at the injection site. Use hats, parasols, and UV-blocking products to protect against UV rays. It is advisable to continue UV protection one week after treatment. In particular, it is necessary to take adequate UV protection when going out for long periods of time or going to places where UV rays are strong, such as the ocean or swimming pools.

Avoid drinking and smoking

It is recommended that patients refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for one week after treatment. Drinking alcohol and smoking may aggravate blood flow and worsen swelling and internal bleeding at the injection site. For the first week after treatment, it is recommended to avoid alcohol and tobacco and to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Follow doctor's orders

One week after hyaluronic acid injection, there is a period of time after which the side effects disappear and the post-treatment condition stabilizes. Therefore, it is important to continue proper care according to the doctor's instructions after the first week after injection. If swelling or internal bleeding at the injection site remains after one week after injection, it is necessary to consult a physician.

Continue skin care

It is advisable to continue skin care regimen after the first week of treatment. It is important to use moisturizers and UV protection to keep the skin hydrated. Regular cosmetic treatments and skin care will help maintain beautiful skin.

 

About hyaluronic acid injected into tear troughs

A great many people will have hyaluronic acid injected into their tear troughs. The purpose of this treatment varies, such as making a good impression or rejuvenating the eye area, but the treatment is of particular concern for the eye area. It is recommended to take extra care of the tear troughs for a week after hyaluronic acid injection, as they are a delicate area, rather than taking special care of other parts of the body. Also, if symptoms do not improve or if you notice anything unusual, consult your doctor as soon as possible.

Swelling and pain around the eyes may be present.

When hyaluronic acid is injected into the tear troughs, there may be swelling and pain around the eyes, which is due to the irritation of the injected area, causing swelling and pain. The symptoms will gradually lessen over the next few days after injection, but in the unlikely event that the tear troughs become severely affected, we recommend that you consult your doctor.

Touch-ups may be performed

When hyaluronic acid is injected into the tear troughs, it can be difficult to achieve perfection in one go, depending on the individual. Therefore, a touch-up may be performed after the injection. A touch-up is a fine-tuning to bring the image closer to that set before the injection. When performing touch-ups, we will provide a thorough consultation and also take care of the patient based on our judgment of the progress of the procedure.

Refrain from wearing eye makeup

During the first week after hyaluronic acid injections into the tear troughs, makeup should be avoided to reduce the load on the tear troughs. In particular, it is important to refrain from using mascara and eyeliner to reduce the load placed on the eye area. Also, keep makeup light so as not to overload the eye area. If you experience any abnormalities due to makeup, consult your doctor as soon as possible.
