Contraindications to hyaluronic acid: what are they?

Today, injection procedures using hyaluronic acid are becoming more and more popular. The drugs themselves are quite affordable, and the qualifications of cosmetologists, on average, are enough to do the biorevitalization, mesotherapy and contouring procedures correctly. Hyaluronic acid has amazing moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. The skin becomes smoother, hydrated, elastic, complexion, in general, changes for the better. The main thing is that all procedures are done with high-quality preparations and skillful hands. But still, firstly, there may be an allergy to hyaluronic acid, and secondly, not everyone and not always can use it.

Speaking objectively, hyaluronic acid, like any drug, has contraindications. If you have these contraindications, then it is important to refuse both injection procedures and the use of special preparations of hyaluronic acid inside.

Contraindications to hyaluronic acid:

1. Children's age (up to 18). In fact, if we talk about cosmetology, then for girls there will simply be no point in these procedures, on the contrary, they will make the face visually much older.
2. Inflammatory processes in an acute form, especially on the skin. You should not prick hyaluron in the presence of acne, as well as various kinds of inflammatory dermatological diseases.
3. Cancer is another contraindication to hyaluronic acid injections;
4. Herpes on those areas that should be exposed to acid;
5. Pregnancy, breastfeeding. The effect of hyaluronic acid injections on the fetus has not yet been studied, so it's definitely not worth the risk;
6. mental illness;
7. The presence of implants in the affected area;
8. The presence of a recently made peeling or scrub. if less than a month has passed after the median peeling by a cosmetologist, then you should definitely refrain from injections, the skin in this case is very susceptible;
9. Acne;
10. HIV AIDS;
11. Diabetes;
12. Allergy to the components of the administered drug, in fact, the presence of an allergy to hyaluronic acid itself
13. Non-healed wounds at the site of the procedure;
14. taking certain medications (for example, those that affect blood clotting). Be sure to clarify this point with your beautician, list the names of the drugs that you are currently taking, it is very important that they do not conflict with injections.

It is very important that the list of contraindications be additionally introduced to you by the beautician, with whom you are doing this or that procedure. If you ignore these contraindications, you may experience some rather unpleasant side effects. Among them are hematomas, scars, swelling, the presence of fibromas (seals that often form in the “chipped" lips or cheekbones), new foci of inflammation if you have acne, and many other unpleasant things.

Can addiction to hyaluronic injections develop?

There is an opinion that if injections of hyaluronic acid are given for a long time, the body gets used to its intake from the outside. This is fraught with the fact that its own production may completely stop. In fact, there is a rational grain in this thought. Indeed, the own production of hyaluronic acid deteriorates significantly, among other things, an excess of injections leads to aesthetic defects: for example, an excess of filler in the lips looks strange and even disharmonious, an excess of filler in the cheekbones can lead to edema, as well as too frequent biorevitalization and mesotherapy procedures.
