Introduction
Under normal circumstances, hyaluronic acid in hyaluronic fillers can lock and retain moisture within skin cells, improving dryness and wrinkles. Alcohol consumption is typically permitted after 7–14 days, depending on individual allergic reactions and injection dosage. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. After hyaluronic acid injection, keep the injection site clean and dry to prevent infection.

In general, hyaluronic acid in hyaluronic fillers can lock and retain moisture within skin cells, improving dryness and wrinkled skin. It is usually recommended to wait 7–14 days before consuming alcohol, depending on individual allergic reactions and the amount of filler injected.

If the patient does not have an allergic reaction to alcohol—meaning no skin redness or rash occurs after drinking—and only a small dose was injected, alcohol may be consumed after 1–7 days. However, moderation is advised to avoid interfering with recovery. For individuals allergic to alcohol who experience redness or rashes after drinking, and especially if a large dose of hyaluronic acid was injected, it is best to wait 7–14 days before gradually resuming alcohol consumption, starting with small amounts and avoiding heavy drinking in a short period.

What are the risks and side effects of hyaluronic acid?
Injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the skin can indeed quickly smooth wrinkles, augment the nasal bridge, or plump the lips, but it is not without risk. Once the needle enters the body, reversible or even irreversible complications may occur. It is recommended to choose a licensed medical facility and a qualified physician, and use products approved by the National Medical Products Administration. Patients should fully disclose their history of allergies, bleeding tendencies, and previous fillers before the procedure.

Does hyaluronic acid injection require refrigeration?
Aquagold needles require refrigeration during storage. Aquagold needles contain various nutritional components, such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, which can easily degrade in high-temperature environments, potentially affecting the treatment efficacy. Refrigeration can slow down the degradation of these components and maintain the quality of the Aquagold needles. Additionally, refrigeration reduces the risk of microbial contamination and extends the shelf life of the Aquagold needles.
