Introduction
After experiencing an allergic reaction to wrinkle-relaxing injections, anti-allergy treatment should be conducted under a doctor's guidance. Topical application of anti-allergic ointments or oral administration of antihistamines may be used. If the symptoms are not particularly severe, antihistamine medications can be chosen under medical supervision to control the condition; for example, applying calamine lotion topically can help relieve itching.
After receiving wrinkle-relaxing injections, allergic reactions should be treated under a doctor's guidance with anti-allergy therapy. Topical anti-allergic ointments can be applied, or oral anti-allergy medications may be taken. If the allergy is severe, prompt medical attention is necessary. During treatment, a light and bland diet is recommended.
1. Topical Ointments
If an allergic reaction occurs after wrinkle-relaxing injections and symptoms are not particularly severe, antihistamine treatments may be used under medical supervision. For example, applying calamine lotion topically can help relieve itching and reduce allergic responses.
2. Oral Medications
If localized allergic reactions occur after the injection, it’s important to note that while the main component of many wrinkle relaxants—hyaluronic acid—injected subcutaneously helps enhance skin function, elasticity, and stimulate collagen regeneration, most severe allergic reactions are typically associated with botulinum toxin. Therefore, under a doctor's guidance, oral anti-allergy medications such as loratadine tablets, betahistine, or low-dose histamine dilution solutions can be used for treatment.
