Can metronidazole gel be used after receiving wrinkle-reducing injections?

Generally speaking, metronidazole gel can be used after receiving wrinkle-relaxing injections. Wrinkle-relaxing injections involve precisely injecting specific biological agents or fillers, such as botulinum toxin, into targeted facial muscles or skin tissues. Botulinum toxin works by blocking nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, thereby relaxing over-contracted muscles and reducing wrinkles. The usual reference price for wrinkle-relaxing injections ranges from 1,000 to 5,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically appearing within 1-2 weeks, although temporary side effects such as localized redness, swelling, or itching may occur. Detailed explanation is as follows:

After receiving wrinkle-relaxing injections, minor needle punctures may remain on the skin surface, leaving the skin in a relatively fragile condition. Metronidazole gel is a topical antibiotic with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. If mild redness, swelling, or inflammation occurs at the injection site, metronidazole gel may be applied appropriately under a doctor's guidance to help prevent or control infection. However, individuals allergic to metronidazole should not use it, as it may trigger allergic reactions and worsen skin conditions.

It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and perform the above procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. After receiving wrinkle-relaxing injections, it is important to keep the injection site clean and dry, avoiding contact with water. Additionally, avoid using cosmetics or skincare products with strong irritants to prevent adverse irritation at the injection site.
