The side effects of hyaluronic acid injections mainly include pain, bruising, and lumps. The most common side effect is pain, which may manifest as a temporary sensation following the injection and can last for several days. Bruising and lumps are also common side effects of hyaluronic acid injections; these typically appear after the procedure but generally resolve on their own without affecting other bodily functions. Additionally, patients may experience redness, itching, flushing, or skin inflammation after the injection. These discomforts can usually be relieved with appropriate treatment or medication.
