What can I expect during hyaluronic acid injections?

The procedure for injections of hyaluronic acid is relatively simple. Most of the injections are given in the office environment with minimal anesthetics and the recovery time differs from a specific procedure. The expected results of aesthetics and pain treatment are well defined and usually achieved. Hyaluronic acid injection is safe and effective treatment and the patient may expect any concerns about the procedure, recovery and treatment plan will be solved before it happens. Hyaluronic acid can be used as injection fillers that help shape and plump the face contours or use to fortify and enhance the synovial fluid around worn joints, especially those knees. In addition to these specifics, hyaluronic acid can be reticulated and non -anticulated. This designation is usually seen in aesthetic applications and reticulated acid is generally considered to be more effective and more expensive. Reticulated hyaluronic acid is compact and more absorbent with water, allowing it to obtaincat stability over time; The patient may expect the results from the injection significantly longer, 14 to 16 months compared to four to 12.

Both types of hyaluronic acid injection are usually performed in an outpatient office environment. The patient lies down and the feeder can mark one or more intended points for injection. It can use a local or sometimes injection anesthetic to dull the area if it is sensitive and uses antiseptic at the intended injection site. It then measures the correct amount of hyaluronic acid product, fills the syringe and injects the product. The procedure can take from a few minutes to a total of 30 minutes.

There is usually a minimum discomfort of the more annoying effects associated with injections of hyaluronic acid. Sometimes there are some residual pain from joint procedures, but is usually managed and lasts only a few days after treatment. The aesthetic facial procedures areResults immediate and recovery time is short. The patient may most often restore regular activity on the same day when the procedure is performed, and the subsequent activity is usually given in three weeks. When accepting the joint treatment, the procedure usually repeats once a week for three to five weeks and the recovery time is also relatively short, not more than two days.
