Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid: indications and contraindications

Compatibility of antibiotics and hyaluronic acid

If we consider the pharmacological side of the issue, then there are no contraindications. The compatibility of the drugs is good, they do not touch or interact with each other. But why do many cosmetologists not recommend doing biorevitalization while taking antibiotics? This indicator is strictly individual; one must proceed from the patient’s condition.

Side effects of taking antibiotics that affect the effectiveness of biorevitalization:

Disturbance of the balance of normal microflora;
Reduced intestinal protective barrier;
Decreased immunity;
Increasing the body's sensitivity to allergens.

Because of this, the simultaneous use of these agents is not recommended. Even taking into account the allogenic nature of hyaluronic acid, its hypoallergenicity, it can cause unpleasant reactions. The reason for this is the foreignness of the composition.

Reviews

Irina, 34 years old, I was afraid to enlarge my lips because I was allergic to cats. But there was already a need for this and I decided. Hyaluronic acid was administered in the clinic. Beforehand, I studied reviews about her and asked friends. Everything worked out very well. We first did tests on the hand. I'm happy with the result. I will repeat it over time.

Tsysar Elena Anatolyevna, cosmetologist A systemic allergic reaction to the introduction of hyaluronic acid has never occurred in my practice. There are isolated increased swelling and redness at the injection sites, but no more. In such cases, the patient simply needs a little more time for the recovery period.

Pozdyaev Sergey Viktorovich, cosmetologist Article on the topic: Review of current types of ointments for skin allergies in [y] year

The secret to the safe injection of fillers with hyaluronic acid lies in the quality of the drugs used. If you purchase products from trusted companies that guarantee the purity of the products, then by definition there can be no allergies. This is proven by my many years of practice.

When can biorevitalization be performed after antibiotic therapy?

It would seem that after taking antibiotics, no bacteria threaten the beauty of the face after injection procedures. But it is not so. A decrease in the protective barrier and disruption of normal microflora is the cause of the development of pathogenic bacteria. A striking example of this process is thrush after massive antibiotic therapy. Many people note the development of candidiasis as a side effect of antibacterial drugs. A similar process occurs with the skin.

Slight dryness or increased fat content, a decrease in turgor and elasticity may not be noticed, especially during the treatment of infectious diseases. But even minimal changes can lead to disastrous consequences. Therefore, biorevitalization should not be carried out while taking antibiotics.

The reason for taking antibiotics is also a concern. Past illnesses are a huge stress for the body. An increase in temperature, inflammatory processes, and a decrease in the body's resistance to environmental factors always accompany illness. It is not recommended to use any injection procedures until complete recovery.

It is impossible to determine the standard period that must be maintained before biorevitalization, after antibacterial therapy. You always need to follow individual indicators - the presence of side effects after medications, weakness, pain, abnormal changes.

The use of antibacterial agents may be required after the procedure. These can be independent diseases, or side effects after biorevitalization. In this case, the use of antibiotics is justified, especially considering the fact that the rehabilitation period after the procedure is short. And the body did not experience severe stress due to infectious diseases.

You should not use antibiotics on your own after biorevitalization, because it is dangerous. In addition, their use must be justified. High fever, the appearance of acne and swelling are not always reasons for drug treatment. Sometimes it is worth resorting to taking gentle anti-inflammatory drugs, the number of side effects of which is minimal.

How often can injections be given?

The effect of the procedure lasts from 6 months to 1 year. It depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.

Doctors do not recommend pumping this area of the face more often. The result of frequent administration of the drug may be a decrease in the body's own production of hyaluronic acid, which will lead to dryness and flaking of the skin.

Follow the recommendations of doctors; frequent injections into this sensitive area can cause more harm than aesthetic pleasure.

Biorevitalization is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid.

If we consider antibiotics, then these are also synthetic drugs that are used to destroy or suppress the activity of pathogenic bacteria. In principle, biorevitalization against the background of systematic use of antibacterial drugs is not contraindicated - the administered substances do not come into contact or interact at all.

But doctors highlight several important points that need to be taken into account when choosing the timing of injections with cocktails based on hyaluronic acid:

Antibacterial drugs for treatment are selected by the doctor. They have an anti-inflammatory effect, and the rules for safe biorevitalization indicate that any pathological process is a contraindication to the anti-aging procedure.
Antibiotics - a term created on the basis of the word "anti" - is translated as "against", so it can be argued that such drugs kill absolutely all living microorganisms. Biorevitalization, on the contrary, means revitalization of the body, its rejuvenation.

And if antibacterial therapy was carried out for a long time, and at the same time a cosmetic procedure was carried out, then the results may either be completely absent or be completely different from what the client expects. In this case, we are talking about rejection of the introduced cocktails.

Side effects of antibiotics

The goals of the procedures are completely different - antibiotic treatment is necessary for health, injections with hyaluronic acid are for beauty. You will have to choose what is needed first. It is impossible to solve two problems at the same time; one of them will remain in any case.
Each of the drugs individually can cause an allergic reaction. If they enter the body at the same time, then this probability increases significantly. Yes, cocktails for biorevitalization are positioned as hypoallergenic, but they contain not only safe hyaluronic acid, but also vitamins, plant extracts, and minerals.

After both procedures, the body needs some time to restore normal functioning. Rehabilitation after a course of antibacterial therapy involves:

restoration of intestinal microflora;
gradual introduction of familiar foods to the menu;
strengthening the immune system by taking vitamin and mineral complexes.

The recovery period after biorevitalization implies some restrictions - for example, any thermal procedures, physical education, and massages are prohibited. It turns out that in the case of any of the procedures, the body’s immune system suffers, and if they are carried out simultaneously, the blow may be too powerful.

Doctors categorically do not recommend performing biorevitalization simultaneously with taking antibacterial drugs. It is much more reasonable to wait until the end of the main therapy, wait for the recovery period and only after that visit a cosmetologist about skin rejuvenation.

An increase in body temperature after injections of a drug based on hyaluronic acid is considered a rare complication, but can occur. If the indicators are not critical and decrease already at the end of the first day after the procedure, then there is nothing to worry about - most likely, this is an inadequate reaction of the body to the administered drug (it is perceived as a foreign body).

If a high temperature persists for 2 days or more, you should seek help from a doctor - this is a sign of the development of an inflammatory process.

Inflammation at injection sites can begin for two reasons:

the infection was introduced directly during the injection - we are talking about a violation of antiseptic rules by a specialist;
pathogenic bacteria settled in the skin during the rehabilitation period - the client did not carry out recovery measures and care correctly.

The inflammatory process is accompanied not only by an increase in body temperature, but also by pronounced redness of the skin in pathological foci, swelling, and the formation of pimples with purulent contents. This condition poses a certain threat to health and cannot be avoided without qualified medical care.

Hematomas and facial swelling after biorevitalization

Perhaps the doctor will prescribe a course of antibacterial therapy to stop the pathological process, but in this case the patient will be warned that there may be no effect from biorevitalization.

Read more in our article about biorevitalization and antibiotics.

Biorevitalization and antibiotics

Biorevitalization is a skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid. In general, this substance is independently produced by the human body, but for cosmetic procedures a synthetic component is used. Its effect on the body is identical to that of its own substance:

wrinkles disappear/smooth out;
the surface of the skin becomes smooth;
trophic processes in tissues improve;
blood circulation accelerates in all layers of the dermis;
metabolism stabilizes within normal limits (metabolism at the cellular level).

If we consider antibiotics, then these are also synthetic drugs that are used to destroy or suppress the activity of pathogenic bacteria. Such drugs are not used to treat viral pathologies, because in this case they are absolutely useless.

In principle, biorevitalization against the background of systematic use of antibacterial drugs is not contraindicated - the administered substances do not come into contact or interact at all. But doctors highlight several important points that need to be taken into account when choosing the timing of injections with cocktails containing hyaluronic acid.

We recommend reading about whether papules are dangerous after biorevitalization. From the article you will learn about the reasons for the appearance of papules after biorevitalization, how long they last and when they last normally, procedures that accelerate skin recovery after the procedure.

And more about how often to do biorevitalization.

What is hyaluronic acid

In the human body, hyaluronic acid is produced in the required amount up to 25 years. Then the production of this substance is inhibited, which affects the condition of the skin, hair and lips. Hyaluronic acid retains moisture, turning it into a gel. Acid molecules work in different directions:

inhibit the spread of infection;
maintain hydrobalance;
prevent early skin aging;
interact with collagen and elastin;
increase skin elasticity.

Low molecular weight hyaluronate is used to fill lips . It provides deep hydration, stimulates cell division and nourishes the skin. The procedure for lip augmentation using hyaluronate injections is called “biorevitalization.” This method makes lips not only full, but also beautiful.

Compatibility of treatment and procedure

At the initial appointment with a cosmetologist, the client will be asked whether he is taking antibacterial drugs and, if such therapy has been carried out recently, how much time has passed since the last medication. And this is connected with very important points:

Antibacterial drugs for treatment are selected by the doctor. They have an anti-inflammatory effect, and the rules for safe biorevitalization indicate that any pathological process is a contraindication to the anti-aging procedure.

Antibiotics are prescribed by a doctor according to indications. Before performing biorevitalization, you must inform your doctor about the reasons for antibiotic therapy

Antibiotics - a term created on the basis of the word "anti" - is translated as "against", so it can be argued that such drugs kill absolutely all living microorganisms. Biorevitalization, on the contrary, means revitalization of the body, its rejuvenation.

The goals of the procedures are completely different - antibiotic treatment is necessary for health, injections with hyaluronic acid are for beauty. You will have to choose what is needed first. It is impossible to solve two problems at the same time; one of them will remain in any case.
Each of the drugs individually can cause an allergic reaction. If they enter the body at the same time, then this probability increases significantly. Yes, cocktails for biorevitalization are positioned as hypoallergenic, but they contain not only safe hyaluronic acid, but also vitamins, plant extracts, and minerals.

In addition, after both procedures the body needs some time to restore normal functioning. Rehabilitation after a course of antibacterial therapy involves:

restoration of intestinal microflora with the help of specific medications, as well as pro/prebiotics;
the gradual introduction of familiar food products into the menu, the removal of restrictions on spicy dishes, marinades and smoked meats;
strengthening the immune system by taking vitamin and mineral complexes.

The recovery period after biorevitalization implies some restrictions - for example, any thermal procedures, physical education, and massages are prohibited. It turns out that in the case of any of the procedures, the body’s immune system suffers and if they are carried out simultaneously, the blow may be too powerful.

Pros and cons of the procedure

Using hyaluronic acid has advantages and disadvantages. It is important to understand that the lips will hurt after the procedure; after injection, the process is irreversible; the lips will return to their previous appearance after months.

Pros of the procedure:

low invasiveness - the active substance is administered using a syringe;
the ability to increase volume, adjust the shape of the lips and their contours;
correction of tissue asymmetry, the ability to lift them;
allows you to remove wrinkles, but after months the skin will sag again;
the drug is administered into both lips or separately - upper, lower;
instant effect;
short duration of the procedure – from 15 to 30 minutes;
minor age restrictions - carried out from 17 to 60 years;
naturalness – hyaluronic lips retain the texture and sensitivity of the tissue and look natural;
no scars.

Although the procedure is positioned as an alternative to invasive surgery, it has a number of disadvantages. Disadvantages of introducing hyaluronic acid fillers:

soreness – the mouth is a sensitive area, anesthesia sometimes cannot completely relieve pain;
cost – the procedure is not budget-friendly;
short duration of action – the effect lasts from 6 to 12 months;
adaptation of the body - with frequent tissue correction, the production of its own hyaluronic acid stops.

What to do if there is inflammation or fever after biorevitalization

An increase in body temperature after injections of a drug based on hyaluronic acid is considered a rare complication, but can occur. If the indicators are not critical and decrease already at the end of the first day after the procedure, then there is nothing to worry about - most likely this is an inadequate reaction of the body to the administered drug (it is perceived as a foreign body).

If a high temperature persists for 2 days or more, you should seek help from a doctor - most likely this is a sign of the development of an inflammatory process.

Inflammation at injection sites can begin for two reasons:

the infection was introduced directly during the injection - we are talking about a violation of antiseptic rules by a specialist;
pathogenic bacteria settled in the skin during the rehabilitation period - the client did not carry out recovery measures and care correctly.

Perhaps the doctor will prescribe a course of antibacterial therapy to stop the pathological process, but in this case the patient will be warned that there may be no effect from biorevitalization.

We recommend reading about proper care after mesotherapy for the face. From the article you will learn about why rehabilitation after mesotherapy is important, procedures for restoring skin at home, and features of skin care after fractional and non-injection mesotherapy.

And more about what is better for young and mature facial skin - mesotherapy or biorevitalization?

Biorevitalization is a serious procedure that requires a strong immune system from the body. If it is weakened by antibiotics, then you should not expect the declared rejuvenation effect - most likely it will be completely absent. And this is at best! The issue of combining biorevitalization and antibiotics should be discussed with a cosmetologist.

It's horrible! Consequences of lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid

For beauty salons, lip augmentation with fillers is a standard, harmless procedure.
However, it is truly harmless only with proper care. Negligence towards the procedure can lead to a number of complications. Possible complications after the procedure can be divided into three types:

Hematomas;
Edema;
Allergic reaction.

On average, the tissue healing process after the procedure occurs within a week.

Hematomas

Sometimes, when the drug is injected into the mucous membrane, a normal reaction to a foreign body in the body occurs, which is accompanied by a slight bleeding. The accumulation of blood is a temporary phenomenon with lip augmentation, so there is no need to worry.

You can get rid of bruises using simple procedures. Ice compresses will help with this.

from medicinal plants. Cold is an excellent helper in the fight against hematomas and bruises. Applying ice constricts blood vessels and promotes blood flow at the injection site. Decoctions of chamomile, lemon balm, calendula, etc. should be frozen.

Gels and ointments will also help get rid of hemorrhages.
. It is recommended to use products that consist as much as possible of natural products. You should not use ointments that have a strong warming effect, as this can cause discomfort and irritation.

For the first 24 hours after the injection, it is better not to press or massage the area where the blood has accumulated. But, in the following days, light acupressure of the hematoma

to speed up metabolism and the resorption process.

Edema

Edema

- This is a local accumulation of fluid, which is accompanied by an increase in the volume of the skin cavity.

The occurrence of slight swelling and pain is an integral part of the procedure, as this is a normal reaction of the body to injections. If the swelling is distributed evenly on your lips, then most likely its traces will disappear within a few days. However, if swelling is accompanied by a number of factors, then emergency measures should be taken. These factors are:

Strong pain;
The swelling does not go away for more than 5 days;
Severe redness or paleness of the skin;
Formation of foci of inflammation.

If these symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor

and do not self-medicate, since only a specialist can give the correct answer to the cause of edema.

Often swelling appears due to acute respiratory infections, stress or herpes

, an allergic reaction or individual intolerance is also possible. This reaction cannot be excluded due to depletion of the body and deficiency of vitamins, vitamin deficiency.

Also, this reaction is possible due to an error by the cosmetologist when choosing the dosage, drug, as well as during the procedure itself.

Allergic reaction

If swelling and pain do not subside, but complications such as “urticaria” or Quincke’s edema appear, then this is a clear sign of an allergic reaction. In this case, the mouth swells beyond the contour of the lips, and the chin or lower part of the face may swell.

If an allergic reaction occurs, you should consult a doctor and do a test to determine the allergen.

Sometimes dry lips

after injection of hyaluronic acid is confused with an allergic reaction. This is wrong.

Dry lips occur due to an increased concentration of anesthetic in the solution. In this case, the active effect of the main drug has not had time to occur when the anesthetic is in full effect.

The dryness that occurs can be easily eliminated with moisturizers.

Hyaluronic acid, by definition, cannot cause dry lips, as it is a substance that actively has a moisturizing effect.

Prohibitions after injections

As after any cosmetic procedure, there are a number of recommendations that should be followed for normal rehabilitation of the body. 10-14 days after injections with hyaluronic acid, follow the recommendations:

Mechanical peelings cannot be performed on the skin of the lips. This will damage your sensitive skin after the injection. Aggressive peeling can cause inflammation and irritation of the skin;
Strong thermal effects are prohibited. You should refrain from visiting saunas and steam rooms. You should not stay in the sun for a long time without protection: a wide-brimmed hat and moisturizer on your lips. Visiting the solarium is prohibited. Also, do not overcool the skin;
Do not take a hot bath;
It is better to refrain from salty, peppered, smoked foods. During rehabilitation, it is better not to provoke an allergic reaction from food;
You should refrain from drinking alcohol, cigarettes or hookah;
During rehabilitation, especially in the first 4-5 days, you should not use lipstick. Only moisturizing lip balms can be used;
You should not engage in physical activity for 14 days, as this can cause bruising and hematomas.

If you follow the recommendations described above for at least the first two weeks after the injection, you can greatly reduce the likelihood of complications such as swelling or an allergic reaction.

Rules for lip care after augmentation

After augmentation, lips need to be provided with proper daily care. This will shorten the rehabilitation period and eliminate unwanted consequences. To do this, it is important to follow the following procedures:

Hydration.
This is the main aspect of lip skin care after lip augmentation. It is necessary to make nourishing masks, use lip balms or creams. Masks can be purchased or prepared at home. The main thing is that the chosen product contains the maximum amount of natural ingredients. It is recommended to add fresh chicken eggs, honey, juice or fruit pulp to the mask. When small hematomas appear, the use of special ointments is allowed, for example, “Arnica”, “TraumelS”, etc.;
Lip massage
. The procedure can be carried out while brushing your teeth using a brush. The massage should be soft and gentle so as not to damage the sensitive skin of the lips;
After 10-14 days, it is recommended to perform a more comprehensive care
, which includes three stages: cleansing, moisturizing, protection.

If you follow the listed skin care tips during and after rehabilitation, the result will be the beautiful, sensual lips that every girl dreams of.

Also, at first it is worth eating a maximum of vegetables and fruits, which will ensure that the body receives the necessary vitamins and microelements.

How are they dangerous and can they cause harm?

Before you go for “beauty injections,” you need to clearly understand the possible consequences of this procedure. Let's look at why fillers are sometimes very harmful to health.

The drug is of poor quality. Just a few years ago in our country there was an equal ratio of certified and non-certified fillers that were used in cosmetic clinics. Some simply did not have time to pass certification, others were fakes. Now the situation has changed dramatically, but there is no 100% chance that you will not run into a fake.
Doctor's ignorance. Fillers cannot be used in some areas of the face. In order not to harm the patient, it is necessary to conduct a detailed history and collect all the data. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, for this reason the drug is prohibited from being administered into the orbital zone. The skin there is very thin, and the synthesized hyaluronic acid has an increased density. As soon as filler gets into the area around the eyes, it begins to attract fluid, which contributes to severe swelling and can sometimes cause hernias.
Human factor. Unfortunately, no one is immune from this. You must remember that before you trust a doctor with your appearance, you need to check his documents and certificates confirming his specialization and education. And it doesn’t really matter whether he’s a simple cosmetologist or a plastic surgeon.
Administration of the drug to a high-risk area. There are areas on the face where the vessels are very close to the surface, and there is a possibility of the needle getting into the vessel. This can cause blockage, which can subsequently lead to tissue necrosis.

Violation of facial expressions. The density of the drug is very important. If the cosmetologist chooses a product that is too soft, the procedure will be completely useless, since in this case the filler will not hold its shape. Also, if you use the drug in an area of increased facial expression, this will lead to disruption of muscle activity. This will lead to uneven skin, thickening and fibrosis.
Unsatisfactory aesthetic result. Sometimes the result from the injection of fillers is not pleasing - we were waiting for the best effect. There are several reasons for this:
much more of the drug is administered than necessary - in this case, lumpiness and severe swelling appear.

Undesirable consequences after administration can be avoided if you choose the right clinic with highly qualified doctors.

You can also read about the side effects of filler.

We invite you to watch a video about what complications are possible after the filler injection procedure:

Probability of occurrence

Allergies to hyaluronic acid develop extremely rarely, but this possibility cannot be completely excluded. Previously, the material was extracted from natural fabrics, and then it was purified from excess substances. Thus, the likelihood of developing intolerance was due to the natural origin of the substance.

Currently, hyaluronic acid is of synthetic origin, and the resulting biotechnological material is in full accordance with the natural one. As a result, the likelihood of developing allergies is virtually eliminated.

For what reasons can an allergy to hyaluronic acid occur?

In what cases is it prohibited to enter?

There are many contraindications for the injection of fillers that need to be taken into account. The procedure cannot be performed if:

There is an active skin infection (warts, herpes, mites, lichen, etc.).
In this case, additional trauma to the skin can lead to undesirable consequences - the addition of a third-party infection. In addition, it is worth remembering that filler is a foreign body that the body is trying to remove, and if you administer the drug during an exacerbation of the infection, you can get a purulent abscess on the face. If the patient exhibits signs of HSV in the acute stage, then the procedure cannot be performed - preventive treatment is prescribed. If this is not done, the virus may reactivate and quickly spread throughout the skin. In addition, if the patient has the herpes virus in her body, then preventive treatment should be prescribed before using the filler.
ENT infections (Infections of the nasopharynx, ear canal, alveolar abscess, periodontitis). Dermal fillers, once injected, can lead to an exacerbation of many diseases. There is a lot of evidence that makes it clear that ENT infections, especially in the acute stage, are able to penetrate into the area of drug administration and contribute to the formation of biofilms.
Gastroenteritis, bladder infection, pyelonephritis. If the patient’s medical history revealed one or more similar diseases, then she is sent for a consultation with a specialist - if chronic diseases are not in the acute stage, then the cosmetologist solves this issue independently and individually, evaluating the pros and cons.
Allergy. Can you be allergic to fillers? If there are allergic reactions, it is worth considering a group of drugs and products to which the patient’s body reacts especially acutely. And if there is no intolerance to the components of the filler, then preventive treatment is prescribed, after which the drug is administered.
Hypersensitivity to components. In this situation, the use of filler is strictly contraindicated, since the consequences can be irreversible - chronic urticaria, immunodeficiency state, Quincke's edema. But besides this, a drug injected under the skin can behave unpredictably.
Tuberculosis. If a person is sick with tuberculosis or has Wegener's granulomatosis, then the doctor determines the possibility of contouring plastic surgery individually. Often the patient is sent for consultation to a specialist who assesses possible risks. Only after this is the final decision made.

The danger of allergies to hyaluronic acid, what to expect after using fillers?

Allergies to hyaluronic acid are rare but possible. Basically, the reason for the body’s negative reaction to this substance, useful and related to the human body, lies in poor-quality cleansing of hyaluronic acid or in the auxiliary substances with which cosmetic preparations are “supplied”. How to recognize an allergy and what to do to stop the reaction?

Hyaluronic acid – what is it?

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is synthesized by the body and is found in many biological fluids (for example, saliva, joint fluid). In the body of a healthy person, about 5 g of hyaluronic acid is renewed daily, the total acid content in the body fluctuates within 15 g (average value).

! One gram of hyaluronic acid can bind and hold up to 3 thousand grams of water.

The bulk of hyaluronic acid is concentrated in the connective tissue of the skin, nerve fibers, and mucous membranes of the body. Hyaluronic acid molecules attract, accumulate and retain water molecules, creating the necessary hydration and elasticity in the tissues.

With age, the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid in the body slows down, which clearly manifests itself in the condition of the skin - it loses turgor, becomes dry and wrinkled.

Allergy to hyaluronic acid, photo on the face

The cosmetics industry widely uses the properties of hyaluronic acid, offering external (creams, gels, correctors) and internal (injections, tablets) cosmetic preparations to restore and maintain skin condition. In medicine, hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the joint, improving the composition of its synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid is an immunoinert substance, safe to use, and decomposes after introduction into the human body. Currently, hyaluronic acid is not produced from animal raw materials, but is synthesized using bacteria.

Is there an allergy to hyaluronic acid?

Is there an allergy to creams or beauty injections with hyaluronic acid?

For the vast majority of people, allergies after hyaluronic acid are not typical. However, we should not forget about the possibility of an individual reaction of the body.

Allergic reaction after hyaluronic acid

Allergy symptoms may not be to the hyaluronic acid itself, but to:

giving injections;
for related cosmetics;
for anesthesia;
to poorly purified hyaluronic acid of animal origin;
nervous reaction to a stressful procedure.

Is there an allergy to external cosmetics? Symptoms of allergies to creams and gels applied to the face cannot be excluded.

The reason is individual intolerance to a particular substance in cosmetic products. It may not be hyaluronic acid itself that causes allergies, but fragrances, stabilizers or preservatives.

Note! If you are prone to allergies and are planning to undergo lip augmentation or skin rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid preparations for the first time, then conduct a preliminary test to determine its tolerance.

Symptoms of an allergy to hyaluronic acid

Allergy to hyaluronic acid according to ICD 10 is located in the “Contact dermatitis” section. Symptoms are caused by:

swelling and redness of the skin at the injection site;
itching;
urticaria localized at the point of contact or throughout the body;
itching, burning, redness when using external cosmetics at the site of application;
bronchospasm, anaphylactic shock (extremely rare).

Allergy to hyaluronic acid during lip augmentation

The clinical picture of an allergy to hyaluronic acid often resembles a reaction to microtrauma caused by injections. Whether it is a true allergy or not can be distinguished by the following symptoms:

Swelling caused by microtraumas disappears in 3-4 days. The allergy will “stay” at its original volume or increase.
An allergy may be delayed in time, whereas a reaction to injury is immediate.
A severe allergy may indicate a reaction to a foreign substance.

Note! A high-quality hyaluronic acid preparation rarely causes allergies, since it is a natural component of human metabolism.

What to do if you have an allergy? At the first symptoms of an allergy, follow the following algorithm:

If you feel a strong burning sensation, itching, or numbness, stop the cosmetic procedure immediately.
Take an antihistamine and apply it to your skin.
If symptoms worsen, call an ambulance.

Note! If you come to a cosmetologist for a procedure for the first time, then before starting any manipulations, make sure you have an anti-shock first aid kit.

If the cosmetologist gets off with assurances “that this has never happened before, don’t worry, everything will be fine” - get out of there. There is no guarantee that you will not be injected with a counterfeit drug in such a salon, to which you may actually be allergic.

Administration of hyaluronic acid injections

Blood is drawn for allergies from a vein. This analysis is carried out in a medical facility. The body's reaction to a number of allergens is studied by detecting certain antibodies (or lack thereof).

Prevention

Preventive measures before going to cosmetology or before using a new cream at home boil down to studying the skin’s reaction to a corrective drug or cosmetic product.

If there is no allergic reaction, but you are prone to allergies, then you can take an antihistamine for a few days for prevention. The medication must be prescribed by a doctor. Usually these are long-acting agents such as Loratadine.

Reviews

Irina, 34 years old

I was afraid to enlarge my lips because I was allergic to cats. But there was already a need for this and I decided. Hyaluronic acid was administered in the clinic. Beforehand, I studied reviews about her and asked friends. Everything worked out very well. We first did tests on the hand. I'm happy with the result. I will repeat it over time.

Tsysar Elena Anatolyevna, cosmetologist

A systemic allergic reaction to the introduction of hyaluronic acid has never occurred in my practice. There are isolated increased swelling and redness at the injection sites, but no more. In such cases, the patient simply needs a little more time for the recovery period.
