Generally, a course of hyaluronic acid injections (commonly known as the "water light needle") requires 3 to 4 sessions. Some patients may notice certain improvements after just one injection; however, to achieve more noticeable results, it is usually necessary to complete the full course of treatment. A complete course typically involves one injection per month for three consecutive months, followed by a fourth injection after an interval of 2 to 3 months.

The water light needle is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a mixture containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients into the superficial layers of the skin. This treatment enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture, improves skin tone, and increases elasticity. It offers an effective solution for skin concerns such as dryness, dullness, and fine lines. While some minor improvements may be seen after the first injection, completing the entire treatment course is usually required to achieve optimal results.

To maintain the effects achieved from the water light needle treatment, daily skincare remains very important. Using moisturizing products, applying face masks regularly, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can all help prolong the duration of the treatment effects.
