How long after hyaluronic acid injection can I receive a mesotherapy injection?
Disease description:
I am a 28-year-old female who received hyaluronic acid filler treatment two weeks ago to improve facial fine lines and enhance skin elasticity. I am very satisfied with the results of the procedure, but am now considering further improvement of my skin quality and would like to undergo aqua needle treatment. I would like to ask when would be the optimal timing for receiving aqua needle treatment.

Hyaluronic acid and mesotherapy injections are both common aesthetic treatments, each with different functions. Hyaluronic acid is primarily used for filling wrinkles and depressions, while mesotherapy injections are mainly used for brightening skin tone and improving skin texture. Although both contain hyaluronic acid, they differ in mechanism of action and injection depth. After hyaluronic acid injection, the skin requires some time to recover and stabilize.
If mesotherapy injections are performed too early, they may place unnecessary stress on the skin and potentially trigger adverse reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks to one month, allowing the effects of hyaluronic acid to stabilize and ensuring that no adverse reactions or complications have occurred. This will help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the mesotherapy treatment. However, the exact interval should be determined by a qualified physician based on individual circumstances.
During the waiting period, patients should focus on proper skincare, keep the skin dry and clean, and avoid using irritating cosmetics or exposing the treated area to water. Additionally, strenuous activities and pressure on the injection site should be avoided to prevent interference with the hyaluronic acid results.
