How long after receiving a hyaluronic acid injection (water light injection) can I apply makeup?

Hydrofilling injection is a cosmetic procedure that improves skin hydration and luster by injecting ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. After the injection, the skin requires a certain amount of time to adjust and recover. Applying cosmetics too early may clog pores, interfere with the skin's natural healing process, and even lead to infection. Typically, doctors recommend avoiding makeup for 24 to 48 hours after hydrofilling injection to ensure proper wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.

1. Monitor skin recovery: If an individual's skin has strong recovery ability and there are no symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pain, theoretically, makeup may be considered around 72 hours after injection. However, if skin recovery is slow or complications such as infection occur, the time for delaying makeup application should be extended accordingly.

2. Choose cosmetics carefully: When applying makeup, select mild, non-irritating products. Avoid using cosmetics containing alcohol, fragrances, or other irritating ingredients to reduce skin irritation and burden.

3. Follow medical advice: Each person's skin condition and healing ability are different. Therefore, it is best to communicate thoroughly with the doctor before receiving hydrofilling injections to understand your skin condition and suitable treatment plan. After treatment, follow the doctor's post-care recommendations, and avoid using cosmetics too early or engaging in other activities that may irritate the skin.

In all cases, health and safety should be the top priority. Never rush to apply makeup and neglect the natural skin recovery process.
