Is it possible to inject hyaluronic acid during pregnancy?

Increased oily skin is usually associated with inevitable acne and acne problems, however, oily skin is one of the normal variants, this type of skin simply requires appropriate care. When treated correctly, oily skin remains smooth longer and does not bother with early wrinkles, however, during the period of hormonal changes - during puberty, pregnancy, and other reasons that cause hormonal fluctuations, oily skin increases and can cause many cosmetic problems.

Properties of hyaluronic acid

The popularity of hyaluronic acid in cosmetology is due to its unique properties. Firstly, it is a completely natural drug, which is obtained by processing biomaterials. Hyaluronic acid is part of all tissues of the human body, so it is very easily perceived by it. It attracts and holds water molecules, providing soft tissues with long-lasting hydration and volume.

Preparations based on it are hypoallergenic; complications and side effects are extremely rare. Moreover, it is possible to compensate for its deficiency in the body, which forms with age, through its external use, oral administration or subcutaneous administration. Naturally, the injection technique gives the fastest and most significant results.

Side effects

The main contraindication to the use of the biorevitalization method is pregnancy and breastfeeding. In addition, you should not contact a cosmetologist until viral and infectious diseases are cured. That is, it is worth rejuvenating the skin only if the immune system is functioning normally.

In a healthy woman, collagen should not cause any negative reactions other than papules. However, for some time after the injections, redness of the skin, painful discomfort and slight swelling may be observed. This is not due to the active substance, but rather to the insertion of the needle. Such effects do not last long and disappear after a couple of hours.

In rare cases, bruises may also form, but they should disappear without a trace within a day. If side effects do not go away and remain on the face for more than 48 hours, you should consult a doctor.

After the biorevitalization procedure, it is strongly recommended not to sunbathe or visit the bathhouse for 2 weeks. If a woman follows all the rules, her skin will become healthy and well-groomed for a long time. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with biorevitalization around the eyes in this material.

This non-surgical method of skin correction effectively eliminates defects such as sagging, wrinkles, and excessive pigmentation. The main advantage of hardware rejuvenation is that the improvement of the epidermis comes from the inside - the skin is intensively moisturized under protection from harmful environmental factors.

The presented cosmetic procedure is recognized as one of the safest. But if you are interested in biorevitalization while breastfeeding, consider the possible side effects. There is no exact data on the harmlessness of hyaluronic acid for a young mother and her child, so it’s better to be safe. With all the many advantages of injection technology, it has its disadvantages, as well as negative consequences. In particular, most therapists believe that biorevitalization is contraindicated during breastfeeding. This is explained by the fact that the lactation period is a risk factor. It is unknown what effect the procedure will ultimately have on the child. If there is a serious need, the procedure is carried out extremely carefully; in addition, for biorevitalization during breastfeeding, hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin is used with the addition of other artificial components.

Effect of drugs

Many women regularly undergo procedures and take medications based on hyaluronic acid, as it provides an excellent anti-aging effect due to:

• smoothing out small wrinkles;
• significant reduction in deep;
• refreshing complexion;
• smoothing skin texture;
• accelerating natural regeneration;
• increasing lip volume;
• restoration of clarity of the oval of the face;
• slowing down destructive age-related changes;
• eliminating sagging and dry skin;
• smoothing stretch marks and small scars.

And many of them do not want to part with their favorite drugs even during pregnancy. However, experts say that their injection during this delicate period is unsafe.

The effectiveness of facial biorevitalization for pregnant women and during breastfeeding

This procedure can be carried out in two ways. In any case, hyaluronic acid is used. It can be injected under the skin through injections or simply applied to the skin.

This component is very important for beauty. Hyaluronic acid, which is known as collagen, can keep skin firm, smooth, hydrated and healthy. The human body independently produces collagen, or elastane. But with age, the amount of this substance begins to decrease, and the needs of the skin often increase. For example, collagen loss is caused by poor diet, water imbalance, bad habits, especially smoking, exposure to high and low temperatures and insufficient hours of rest.

The skin is in great need of hyaluronic acid during pregnancy. But during this period, it is still worth refusing to carry out such complex cosmetic procedures as biorevitalization. It is better to adjust your diet in such a way that collagen is produced in sufficient quantities on your own.

If a woman during pregnancy or breastfeeding decides to undergo a similar procedure, she should definitely consult a doctor. First you need to find out if the patient has allergic reactions. If the specialist approves the anti-aging procedure, you can begin to inject collagen. There are 2 ways to deliver hyaluronic acid under the skin. In the first case, injections are used, and in the second, laser biorevitalization is used. Each procedure is quite effective, but the methods may differ in price.

The video shows the effectiveness of biorevitalization:

After the introduction of hyaluronic acid, the skin becomes moisturized, radiant, wrinkles are smoothed out, and the oval of the face becomes clear. With the help of a shock dose of collagen, an active fight against wrinkles, rosacea and age spots is carried out. This product allows you to speed up metabolic processes, renew the cellular composition of the skin, eliminate dangerous free radicals from the skin, which leads to a significant slowdown in aging.

The effect after using biorevitalization will be noticeable immediately after the first session. But this procedure has one significant drawback, namely a short-term effect.

Therefore, the injection of collagen will have to be repeated periodically. The number of sessions that will be necessary for a specific situation is determined by the doctor. If the procedure is performed correctly, the skin will acquire a radiant and pleasant appearance for a long period.

Experts recommend starting periodic biorevitalization from the age of 35-40. At this age, as a rule, the first significant symptoms of skin aging appear. If you visit a cosmetologist from time to time and inject collagen under the skin, you will be able to maintain youth much longer.

Methods of application

As mentioned above, there are three ways to compensate for the lack of hyaluronic acid in the body: injection, taking tablets or capsules, using it in masks and creams. The features of each of them and its compatibility with pregnancy are worth considering in more detail.

Injections

The answer to the question whether it is possible to inject hyaluronic acid-based drugs into patients during pregnancy is clearly negative. And that's why:

• the risk of developing an allergic reaction increases;
• the sensitivity of the skin changes and injections become very painful;
• it is not possible to use even local anesthesia;
• in case of complications, it is possible to prescribe antibiotics, which are contraindicated for pregnant women;
• the risk of developing hyperpigmentation at puncture sites increases;
• Some drugs enter directly into the bloodstream and can affect the development of the fetus.

Moreover, the ban applies to all types of injection cosmetology: hyaluronic acid cannot be injected with a regular syringe, mesotherapy cannot be done with a dermaroller, and, moreover, a fractional laser cannot be used.

Tablets and capsules

Oral preparations with hyaluronic acid appeared relatively recently, but quickly became a new trend in the beauty industry. They allow you to rejuvenate not only the skin, but also the entire body from the inside, increasing the effectiveness of other cosmetic procedures. Moreover, they help to quickly cure a number of diseases and are useful for:

• Arthritis and arthrosis. Hyaluronic acid is able to restore damaged cartilage and joint tissue, relieve inflammation and pain, and increase mobility.
• Burns and wounds. Since it has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Hyaluronic acid is often prescribed after laser peels.
• Recovery after plastic surgery. Since hyaluronic acid stimulates regeneration processes, sutures heal faster, and the risk of implant rejection is significantly reduced.
• Eye diseases. The largest amount of hyaluronic acid in the human body is in the vitreous body of the eyeball. Therefore, it is good for restoring vision.

In rare cases, internal administration of hyaluronic acid is allowed during pregnancy for medicinal purposes. But its dosage is strictly calculated by the doctor, and treatment is carried out under medical supervision. Pregnant women should not buy or take such pills on their own.

Masks and creams

Masks and creams with hyaluronic acid can be used during pregnancy if there is no allergy to it. At the same time, the integrity of the skin is not compromised, and without the use of injections or electrical procedures, the molecules cannot penetrate the hydrolipidic barrier and remain on the surface of the skin, well moisturizing and smoothing it.

The only negative is that many women often experience swelling around the middle of the second trimester. The use of hyaluronic acid can significantly enhance it, as it attracts water and retains it. Therefore, such means are not recommended:

• apply under the eyes;
• use at night;
• apply in a dry place.

Natural creams and homemade masks prepared according to folk recipes can be a worthy alternative to hyaluronic acid. Compositions based on oatmeal, lactic acid products, honey, and natural oils are harmless and very effective for smoothing the skin.

Biorevitalization during pregnancy

But if hyaluronic acid is non-toxic and well accepted by the human body, why do doctors still strongly advise against performing biorevitalization during pregnancy, in any form? Their opinion is not unfounded and is associated primarily with concerns for the health of the baby and the expectant mother.

First trimester

The most dangerous period of pregnancy is the first trimester. The answer to the question whether biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid is acceptable at the very beginning of pregnancy is clearly negative. The situation is further complicated by the fact that a woman may not find out about the birth of a new life immediately after conception. Sometimes this news is revealed in the second or even third month. Naturally, not everyone leads a completely healthy lifestyle, and there is no guarantee that at this time the expectant mother did not have time to go to several cosmetic procedures.

The risks are associated with the fact that during the first few weeks the fetus has not yet firmly attached itself to the wall of the uterus, and the slightest stress or intoxication can lead to spontaneous abortion. In addition, due to the absence of a placenta, it is directly affected by everything that enters the mother’s body. And at this time, the laying of vital organs and systems occurs.

That is why doctors recommend refraining from taking medications and any invasive procedures.

But if it so happens that a woman has passed them, there is no need to panic ahead of time. Of course, biorevitalization is undesirable during pregnancy in the early stages, but there is no evidence that it provokes severe complications or malformations of the fetus. It’s just that in the future it’s worth abandoning invasive procedures and going for an ultrasound scan as early as possible to make sure that everything is fine with the baby.

Second trimester

The woman already knows for sure that she is expecting a child and makes only conscious decisions. This period is the calmest. The body has time to adapt to the new state, toxicosis usually passes, and the baby is reliably protected from external influences by the amniotic sac and placenta.

From about 4-5 months, changes in a woman’s appearance become noticeable, primarily associated with significant fluctuations in hormonal levels and a slowly growing belly. Someone begins to look much fresher, their skin smoothes out, their face literally glows. But there are also those who have problems and unwillingness to accept themselves as they are. They turn to cosmetologists with a request for biorevitalization.

But a more or less experienced specialist will refuse to even perform the procedure using the laser method, although it does not damage the skin. Intense effects on the body can lead to:

• increased blood pressure;
• severe allergic reactions;
• itching and peeling of the skin;
• long lasting redness;
• severe swelling.

If biorevitalization is nevertheless performed by injection, then a high risk of wound infection is added to the listed problems, since the pregnant woman’s immunity already bears a double burden, which it cannot always cope with. In addition, the sensitivity of the skin is also increased and the procedure will be very unpleasant.

Third trimester

Some cosmetologists allow themselves to perform laser biorevitalization during this period. She can no longer have any negative impact on the baby. And mom doesn’t need any extra stress associated with not accepting her own appearance. But before the procedure, the patient signs a document according to which she assumes all risks. This means that negative consequences cannot be completely ruled out, otherwise doctors would not play it safe.

Again, there is no need to give injections. Even for those who are not afraid of them, injections are always very stressful. The body automatically reacts to it with the release of adrenaline, which dilates the blood vessels and makes blood flow through them faster. And this is very undesirable during biorevitalization, as it leads to the formation of extensive bruises and reduces the effectiveness of the procedure.

But this is not even the main danger. Any sudden hormonal fluctuations and strong feelings can trigger premature birth. Women who have already had a threat of miscarriage should be especially careful.

So it is better to refrain from invasive cosmetic procedures. Moreover, there is very little time left to wait.

What is the danger

According to experts, subcutaneous administration and internal administration of hyaluronic acid are strictly prohibited not only in the early stages, but throughout the entire period of pregnancy. And this is how they justify it:

1. Hormonal instability, which is typical for expectant mothers, increases the risk of a negative reaction of the body to any medications.
2. Blood clotting in pregnant women is slightly reduced, so wounds from injections can bleed for a long time, and the likelihood of bruising and hematomas increases.
3. A weakened immune system opens the way for infection and pathogenic microorganisms that can get into injection wounds.
4. Due to a lack of vitamins and microelements in the body, the effectiveness of preparations with hyaluronic acid can be significantly reduced.
5. Part of the serum during injections can enter the blood or penetrate the placental barrier, and the metabolism of the fetus differs from that of the mother and can be harmful to it.

That’s why it’s worth putting the safety of yourself and your baby first. Moreover, a pregnant woman is charming in her own right. And from folk methods of rejuvenation it is easy to find a worthy and completely safe alternative.

Alternative methods of rejuvenation for pregnant women

An alternative to the biorevitalization procedure during pregnancy is traditional medicine. It is known that collagen acts as an excellent moisturizer because, after being introduced into fatty tissue, it attracts water molecules. But you can moisturize the dermis in another way, for example, by applying masks and compresses.

The juice of an indoor aloe plant can improve water balance and improve skin regeneration. A similar effect is achieved due to the specific composition of the plant, which contains tannins.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. l. honey;
• 1 tbsp. l. aloe;
• 2 drops of vitamin A and E;
• 1 tsp. olive oil.

Preparation and use:

1. To obtain aloe juice, chop several leaves of the plant - you should get a paste. Wrap the aloe in cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.
2. Heat the olive oil in a water bath to 45 degrees.
3. Combine natural honey, oil and juice.
4. Enter vitamins that you can easily purchase at your local pharmacy.
5. Apply the resulting mixture to problem areas of the skin, especially to areas of peeling. It is allowed to distribute the pulp in the area of ​​the lower eyelid.
6. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes.
7. Rinse it off with warm water.

Attention! The effect of using such a mask on the face: the skin will be moisturized and expression lines will disappear. Do this mask at least once a week.

A warm compress made from a decoction of rosehip and birch buds will provide an amazing rejuvenating effect.
As you know, rose hips are a storehouse of vitamins and microelements that will give the dermis a healthy appearance and form a protective barrier against the penetration of microbes. Birch buds are designed to retain moisture in the cells and establish regeneration of the epidermis. You will need:

• 1 glass of water;
• 50 g rose hips;
• 2 tbsp. l. birch earrings.

Preparation and use:

1. Combine the main ingredients in a saucepan and fill them with the specified amount of water.
2. Boil the healing mixture over medium heat for about 10–15 minutes.
3. Let the broth brew for an hour.
4. Warm the resulting liquid slightly before use. Dip a clean towel into the solution and apply it to your face for 5 minutes.

Also, as an alternative to biorevitalization, we would recommend that pregnant women sign up for facial massage sessions, but only in a trusted salon, which employs clean cosmetologists with a medical education diploma.

Thus, being in an interesting position, it is strictly prohibited to do injection biorevitalization. If you want to look beautiful, even while pregnant, you can try the hardware method of introducing collagen. Doctors warn that the effect of hyaluronic acid on the fetus has not been thoroughly studied. Should you risk your baby's health or not? You decide.

Summing up

Despite its hypoallergenicity and importance for the body, hyaluronic acid should be used with extreme caution during pregnancy. And reviews from women confirm this - even ordinary creams with a high concentration (more than 2%) provoke severe swelling and do more harm than good.

It is especially important to plan in advance for procedures such as cheekbone or lip augmentation, when a significant amount of medication is required. If you are planning to become pregnant, you should take them at least a month before you stop using contraceptives. This will ensure that there are no complications after injections, and will not affect the development of the fetus in any way.

You can return to taking or subcutaneously administering hyaluronic acid 3-4 weeks after the complete completion of lactation. If the baby is bottle-fed, then two months after birth. Increasing the concentration of hyaluronic acid in the body earlier can also lead to negative consequences, since the hormonal levels have not had time to fully recover.

What is

To keep the skin firm and elastic, our body produces hyaluronic acid. But after 25 years, a gradual slowdown in the production of the substance begins, which leads to problems such as facial wrinkles, sagging, pronounced nasolabial folds and tear grooves, and an unsightly pale color of the dermis.

Biorevitalization involves the individual introduction of hyaluronic acid, which fills cavities and promotes the production of collagen and elastane. After the procedure:

• the skin acquires a uniform peach color;
• peeling goes away due to moisturizing of the epidermis;
• the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized;
• small facial wrinkles are eliminated;
• turgor improves.

Cosmetologists unanimously claim that biorevitalization sessions have a pronounced lifting effect. Facial contours become clearer, a slight blush appears and wrinkles are smoothed out. Thus, you look 5-10 years younger.

The biorevitalization procedure can be performed:

1. By injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin. It is considered the most effective method, which should be carried out exclusively in beauty salons or medical centers.
2. With the help of devices that emit radio frequency waves, they hit with microcurrent or laser, promoting deep penetration of the collagen gel. The drug is first applied to the skin, after which the device is applied to the problem area.

Redness and swelling of the treated area may occur within 72 hours. After this time, if the procedure is carried out correctly, the above side effects go away, and you can evaluate the result of rejuvenation on your face. According to the manufacturers, it is delayed by 6 months.

Pregnant women are interested in whether the procedure can be done while pregnant. The instructions for the drugs state that they are contraindicated for pregnant women. The manufacturer does not guarantee that such products will not affect the normal development of the fetus.

The benefits of collagen for the unborn child

Collagen molecules contribute to the proper formation of the baby's connective tissue. This, in turn, provides:

• Healthy joints. Collagen, along with hyaluronic acid, forms the cartilage and bone of the joint and helps produce joint fluid to reduce friction.
• Strong muscles and ligaments. Thanks to collagen fibers, the muscular-ligamentous apparatus has high strength and flexibility.
• Strong bones. The bone matrix is ​​formed from collagen and elastin, without which osteoporosis may occur.
• Radiant, firm skin. In babies, the skin has good turgor due to the high content of fluid, hyaluronic acid and collagen.
• Normal functioning of internal organs. The liver, large intestine, and kidneys have their own mesentery, which ensures their correct location in the abdominal cavity and not “sagging” in space. The mesentery consists of connective tissue, the weakness of which leads to structural and functional problems of the internal organs. Collagen fibers are also present in the bronchi and trachea, providing their tone and shape.
• Good vision. The lens and ligaments of the eye are made of collagen fibers.

What results can you get?

The main task of lifting is not just to hide, but to remove all imperfections and age-related changes in the skin. Using such procedures you can achieve the following results:

• deep healing and rejuvenation of the skin;
• smoothing of superficial wrinkles – facial or age-related;
• increased elastin production;
• double chin removal;
• activation of the synthesis of your own collagen and elastin, which leads to increased firmness and elasticity of the skin;
• get clearer and more pronounced facial contours and their design;
• remove yellowness and grayness of the face;
• get rid of age-related pigmentation;
• eliminate dryness and sagging, irritation and flaking, drying out of the skin.

Recommendations after biorevitalization

There are a number of recommendations that must be implemented after biological revitalization. Otherwise, undesirable consequences may occur.

• Touch your face;
• Apply decorative cosmetics.

It is allowed to use only drugs that are prescribed by a specialist. If bruising is observed, you can use a cream that contains arnica.

For seven days after the procedure, you are not allowed to go to the bathhouse, take a steam bath, or do physical exercise. You cannot visit a solarium or walk under the scorching rays of the sun for 14 days. If you follow all the recommendations, your facial skin will look healthy and well-groomed for a long time.

At the end of pregnancy, every woman will also be able to refresh and tidy up her facial skin in this way.
