Introduction
Hyaluronic acid injections are a common medical aesthetic treatment that effectively replenish skin moisture and restore skin hydration, suitable for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin. When performed properly, hyaluronic acid injections generally have no side effects. Professional doctors can control the injection depth and dosage to avoid complications. In addition, proper daily skincare can also reduce the risk of side effects.

  The hyaluronic acid injection delivers nutrients directly into the dermis through microneedles, thereby brightening the skin tone and improving skin texture. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid injections ranges from 1600 to 4000 yuan per session, and visible improvements typically appear within one to three months. If the hyaluronic acid injection is properly administered and adequately cared for afterward, there are generally no side effects. However, improper operation or poor post-injection care may lead to side effects. It is recommended to visit a hospital and follow medical advice for treatment.

  However, improper injection techniques, such as inadequate sterilization or individual sensitivity, may cause side effects such as localized redness, swelling, and pain. Moreover, poor post-injection care may lead to bruising at the injection site.

  It is recommended to keep the injection site clean and avoid strenuous exercise, squeezing, or bumping the area. Maintain a light and balanced diet, and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods.
