Can I wear makeup the day after receiving a hyaluronic acid injection?

　　The hyaluronic acid injection primarily works by using microneedles to deliver nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and amino acids directly into the deep layers of the skin, aiming to hydrate, moisturize, improve skin texture, and brighten skin tone. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid injections ranges from 1500 to 3000 yuan per session, with visible improvements typically noticeable within 3 to 7 days. However, potential side effects such as skin redness, swelling, and infection may occur. Generally, it is advised not to apply makeup the day after receiving hyaluronic acid injections, as this may cause discomfort. It is recommended to visit a legitimate hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a physician. Detailed explanation is as follows:

　　After hyaluronic acid injection, the skin sustains a certain degree of damage, creating tiny needle punctures. These punctures require a certain amount of time to fully close and heal. If makeup is applied too early, chemical substances and microorganisms in cosmetics may penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin through these punctures, leading to discomfort symptoms such as infection, redness, swelling, and pain. On the day following the injection, the skin has typically not yet fully recovered, and applying makeup at this time can irritate the wounds, making infection more likely and potentially affecting the effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid injection.

　　If makeup is necessary, it is recommended to wait 1 to 2 weeks before applying it, as this will minimize irritation to the skin. When applying makeup, choose gentle, non-irritating products and try to avoid the injection sites. Proper skin cleansing and care during the recovery period are also important for maintaining skin health.
