4. Does it hurt if I’m injected with hyaluronic acid?
The injection needle point of our hyaluronic acid is very thin and tiny and easy to operate, so there's only very mild pain sensation in the injection process, which feels like taking a normal needle, and it's acceptable to everyone.

As for hyaluronic acid injection, although it needs to be regularly injected, it can be used once it's opened out of the box, and there are different molecular weights to be used, and the effect is also easy to predict. Therefore, the use rate of hyaluronic acid is higher than that of the autologous fat.

3) Itch at the injection site. It's caused by disinfectant, or it's one's allergy to the injectant.
4)Pigmentation.This may be caused by poor injection skills and shallow injection. You are supposed to prevent the injection site from sun exposure or receive laser treatment.
5)Infection at the injection site. This generally occurs 72 hours or more after the surgery. Pus point can be seen under the epidermis, which is relevant to bacterial infection caused by improper care such as incomplete preoperative disinfection, or immediate postoperative cosmetic or immediate postoperative wetting.
Preventive Measures: Apply strict preoperative disinfection and avoid using cosmetics or othe make-up products the day after the operation to prevent contamination of the injection zone Keep the injection area dry and clean. Meanwhile, regular injection drugs are used and disposable use of drugs are ensured. Never applied the drugs exposed to the air for more than 4 hours, even if on the same person.
