Individuals with relatively stable skin conditions and thin stratum corneum may receive hyaluronic acid injections (mesotherapy). The hyaluronic acid and other components in the injection help moisturize and retain water, protect the skin barrier, promote stratum corneum formation, and alleviate telangiectasia and redness. However, if the thin stratum corneum has poor tolerance to external stimuli, mesotherapy injections might exacerbate skin sensitivity and fragility, leading to adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, pain, and allergies.
Prior to deciding on mesotherapy treatment, it is important to choose a reputable medical facility and have the procedure performed by an experienced physician to reduce injection-related risks. Consultation with a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic physician for a comprehensive skin evaluation is also recommended. The physician will assess your individual skin condition and overall health to determine whether mesotherapy is suitable for you.
Daily use of mild, non-irritating skincare products is recommended to enhance skin hydration. Avoid products containing alcohol, fragrances, or other irritating ingredients. After treatment, follow the physician's instructions for post-procedure care, and avoid sun exposure and washing the face with excessively hot water.
