- Hyaluronic acid injection is a liquid injected by injection. Through needle
- There are generally three methods for refining hyaluronic acid injection:
- At present, hyaluronic acid injection is mainly used in ophthalmic surgery, that is, a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid injection solution is injected into the eye as a viscoelastic fluid to maintain the normal shape and function of the eyeball. In addition, it is also widely used in the treatment of degenerative arthritis and arthroscopic surgery. In recent years, hyaluronic acid injections have also gradually developed for anti-adhesion and drug release of tissues after surgery. After surgery, the tissue surface that was originally separated will exudate a large amount of tissue fluid due to wounds caused by surgery, resulting in abnormal tissue adhesion.

Hyaluronic acid injection has also become the hottest topic in the application of skin moisturizing, anti-aging, and plastic surgery.
- Application of hyaluronic acid injection in plastic surgery
- Due to the insolubility of water, low metabolic rate, high water absorption, high water retention, and difficulty in transferring tissues, hyaluronic acid injections have recently become a popular development for the application of hyaluronic acid injections to soft tissue augmentation.
- Injectable tissue fillers, such as hyaluronic acid injections, are often used to correct trauma or acne scars left in the dermal layer, and often have very good results. Combining botox and hyaluronic acid injections can be used to treat wrinkles around the eyes and eyebrows. In addition, hyaluronic acid injection has already played a certain role in the obvious lip and nose lines or the shaping of the lips, nose, and chin. However, it is necessary to have a professional consultation with a qualified plastic or aesthetic surgeon before deciding on the treatment strategy. In some cases, it is unsuitable for injection of hyaluronic acid injections, such as wrinkles caused by some skin lesions, irregularities on the surface of the skin that are too shallow, and skin that is too loose, etc., and other more suitable treatment methods should be used.
- The hyaluronic acid injection injected into the body generally maintains the effect for about 6-9 months, but this is related to the difference in the injection site and the individual's physical fitness, such as the time it can be used for lip shaping It's shorter than other face parts.
- The hyaluronic acid injection products currently available on the market include Hylan Gel (Hylan B, Hylaform), Ial System, and Restylane. There are slight differences in the production methods of different products and the technology used. Detailed information should be qualified. Plastic or cosmetic surgeon.
- Hyaluronic acid injection is quite safe in use, and the chance of allergy is very low. Generally speaking, you don't need to do skin sensitivity test first. However, there are still some complications that deserve our attention, such as arterial embolism, fibrosis and granulation tissue formation, local redness, swelling and pain, local hematoma and even infection, patient anxiety and foreign body sensation, etc.
- So the correct usage is: after washing face in the morning and evening, just apply the mixed hyaluronic acid product on the face, and then apply moisturizing cream or the like to lock the moisture. This will be more effective.
