Risks of hyaluronic acid injections
Topical application of hyaluronic acid-containing products on your skin does not present significant side effects. Mild skin irritations may occasionally occur, but they tend to resolve spontaneously within a few days and are more likely due to allergenic excipients in hyaluronic acid creams rather than the hyaluronic acid itself. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid injections can lead to some side effects, including allergic reactions, bleeding, or vascular occlusions. Poorly injected product may be visible or cause subcutaneous infections. Infections will manifest as redness of the skin, pain, and localized swelling at the injection site, and may spread to the area if no treatment is initiated. The person may then develop a fever or even septic shock; these reactions can occur with any treatment or needles inserted under the skin and are not due to the product itself.
A severe complication that can occur is Staphylococcus infection!
Fighting wrinkles to remain youthful and increasing the volume of certain parts of the face and body is a growing trend year after year. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are the second most popular treatment in Switzerland after botulinum toxin injections, liposuction, and breast augmentation. However, although this type of injection is becoming more common, the risks of infection remain the same. This highlights the need to ensure hygiene and safety for those undergoing this type of procedure, as well as to explore ways to minimize the risk of complications and undesirable reactions.
