Typically, patients can apply makeup 3-5 days after the injection, although the exact time may vary.
The hyaluronic acid mesotherapy delivers nutrients such as hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis via microneedle injections to improve skin condition. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid mesotherapy ranges from 1400 to 4600 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed after 2-4 weeks. Generally, makeup can be applied 3-5 days after the injection, although the exact timing may vary.
If an individual's skin heals well, with the puncture holes closed within a short time and no other discomfort symptoms present, gentle skincare products can be used once the puncture holes are sealed. It is generally recommended to wait about 3 days after injection before applying makeup. Some individuals may have slower skin recovery and may need to delay makeup application, possibly until around day 5.
For a period following hyaluronic acid mesotherapy, skin hydration and sun protection are very important. These measures help the skin better absorb the nutrients from the treatment and achieve optimal aesthetic results. Maintaining good skincare habits during the recovery period, avoiding the use of irritating cosmetics, and keeping the skin clean and appropriately moisturized are advised.
In daily life, maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and getting adequate rest are beneficial for recovery.
