Failures of hyaluronic acid injections and how to deal with them

First, too much hyaluronic acid is injected into the laugh lines, resulting in an unnatural bulge. This can also occur when the hyaluronic acid is not injected evenly. There are also failures such as imbalance between the left and right sides of the face due to inexperienced injection technique, or lumps due to the use of inferior formulations. Other examples include improper positioning of the injections, which can result in more prominent lines, and allergic reactions that can cause swelling and redness.
■How to prevent hyaluronic acid injection failure?
The first key to preventing the failure of hyaluronic acid injections in the treatment of lines is the skill and experience of the physician performing the procedure. When treating laugh lines with hyaluronic acid, it is important to select a clinic that you can trust. By having a thorough consultation, you can prevent mistakes and create a treatment plan that is appropriate for your individual condition. Bring images or photos of your desired design and clearly communicate it to the doctor. Also, to prevent problems, accurately inform the doctor of your skin type, past history of allergies, and current medications you are taking.
The quality and quantity of the hyaluronic acid injected can also cause failure, so it is important to have a high-quality product used in appropriate quantities. After the procedure, careful aftercare, avoiding massage and strenuous exercise, can prevent the formation of lumps and bumps.

This enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid, which can improve unnatural bulges and lumps.
Dissolving injections have an immediate effect and can be effective from a few hours to a few days after the procedure for smooth improvement of the problem. One disadvantage, however, is that it may not be possible to dissolve lumps that have formed a membrane or are fibrotic. In addition, dissolving injections themselves have the risk of side effects such as swelling and breathing difficulties, so care should be taken. If correction is necessary, consult the clinic that performed the procedure and take appropriate action.
