Is it okay to receive hyaluronic acid injections during menstruation?

Hydrofilling injection is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting hyaluronic acid and other nutrients into the deep layers of the skin to achieve effects such as skin hydration, improved skin tone, and enhanced skin texture. For many women, certain phases of the menstrual cycle may be accompanied by increased body sensitivity, including heightened skin sensitivity. During menstruation, the estrogen levels in a woman's body decrease, which may lead to increased skin sensitivity and even mild swelling.

Therefore, it is not recommended for women to undergo hydrofilling injections during their menstrual period. The reasons are as follows:

1. Increased risk of bleeding: Due to changes in blood clotting function during menstruation, the likelihood of bleeding from injection sites after receiving hydrofilling injections may increase, and the time required for the bleeding to stop may be prolonged, potentially causing bruising on the local skin area and affecting appearance.

2. Increased risk of infection: During menstruation, the body's immunity is relatively weaker, making the skin more susceptible to invasion by bacteria and other microorganisms after puncture, thereby increasing the risk of infection. This may lead to symptoms such as increased redness, swelling, and pain in the local skin area, or even systemic infection symptoms.

3. Impaired effectiveness of hydrofilling injections: Hormone levels fluctuate significantly during the menstrual period, which may affect the skin's absorption and metabolism of nutrients contained in the hydrofilling injections, thereby reducing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as getting sufficient sleep, maintaining a balanced diet, and engaging in moderate exercise, can also help maintain healthy skin and reduce the need for additional cosmetic treatments.
