The most common side effects of hyaluronic acid injections include: 1. Skin irritation, as these injections deliver polymers directly beneath the skin. 2. Swelling, pain, redness, and discoloration may occur, and medication might be needed to help relieve these symptoms. 3. Local infections may develop, and in some severe cases, systemic allergic reactions can occur. In such situations, patients must seek medical attention promptly to ensure safety.
