Why is blood drawn when receiving a hyaluronic acid injection?
Disease description:
I am a 30-year-old woman experiencing skin dryness, fine lines, and other skin concerns. I hope to improve my skin condition through hyaluronic acid injections (mesotherapy). When preparing to receive the treatment, my doctor recommended undergoing blood tests first. I feel confused about this requirement and do not understand why blood testing is necessary before receiving hyaluronic acid injections.

Blood collection before receiving a hyaluronic acid injection (mesotherapy) is performed to comprehensively assess the patient's health status and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Blood tests can detect potential issues such as coagulation disorders, infectious diseases, or immune system-related conditions, all of which may affect the outcome of the hyaluronic acid treatment or lead to adverse reactions.
Prior to undergoing hyaluronic acid injection therapy, patients should actively cooperate with their physician to complete the required blood tests. This is not only a responsibility to one's own health but also a necessary step in ensuring treatment efficacy and safety. If blood test results are normal and there are no other contraindications, patients can proceed with the hyaluronic acid injection with confidence. Additionally, patients should ensure that the medical facility they choose has proper accreditation and that the procedure is performed by an experienced, qualified physician to ensure safety during treatment.
It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and receive hyaluronic acid injections under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and effectiveness. After receiving hyaluronic acid injections, it is important to maintain local hygiene, apply sun protection, adjust diet, pay attention to skin care, and follow the physician's instructions for post-treatment care.
