How long after receiving a hyaluronic acid injection can I apply makeup?

Hydrofiller injection is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves injecting nutrients such as hyaluronic acid into the deeper layers of the skin to achieve hydration, skin brightening, and tightening effects. After the injection, it is normal for the skin to experience slight redness, swelling, bruising, or sensitivity, which typically resolves on its own within a few days. Generally, it is recommended to wait 24 to 72 hours before applying makeup after hydrofiller treatment, although the exact time may vary from person to person.

If an individual's skin recovers quickly and proper post-treatment care is performed, light makeup application may be possible after 24 to 48 hours. However, if the skin heals slowly or abnormal reactions such as swelling and pain occur, the time for applying makeup should be postponed until the skin has fully recovered. Once makeup can be applied, it is advisable to choose gentle, non-irritating products and avoid heavy powder or highly concealing products to prevent additional burden on the skin. Additionally, makeup application techniques should be gentle to avoid excessive pulling or tugging on the skin.

Therefore, the appropriate time to apply makeup after hydrofiller injections should be determined based on individual skin recovery and the advice of a physician to ensure the safety and health of the skin.
