So, mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid is one of the most common face correction methods now . In simple terms, the technique consists in injecting certain drugs in problem areas. It is understood that the main component of these cosmetic products is hyaluronic acid.

This acid is unique in its properties. It helps water to stay in the body, is one of the most important components of joint fluid. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, the skin remains elastic, and the joints remain mobile.

There is no rejection and problems caused by hyaluronic acid. Contraindications associated with the injection itself. These are mainly hematomas, erythema, a painful condition, allergic reactions and exacerbation of herpes. If the beautician is selected correctly, he will certainly warn the client about all possible side effects, but, unfortunately, this does not always happen.

  • A hematoma is a bruise at the injection site. It occurs due to the accumulation of blood as a result of rupture of blood vessels and passes within 2-4 days after the procedure.
  • The abnormal redness of the skin from pink to crimson, caused by the expansion of the capillaries, is called erythema, sometimes in the form of a rash. Usually, various allergic reactions and inflammation in the injection area are manifested. And here the same principle works again, when hyaluronic acid is safe in itself, contraindications and complications are associated with a possible reaction to antiseptic agents and other components that make up the drug.
  • If allergic reactions are a common occurrence for a person, then you should carefully think about whether or not to perform miraculous mesotherapy. If the hematoma goes away within a few days, then the fight against other allergic reactions can take much longer.
  • In pursuit of youth and an ideal state of the face, one should not forget about such a dangerous disease as herpes. Any injection can cause its exacerbation or, even worse, the spread of herpes throughout the face. There are other methods and tools where the main component is hyaluronic acid. Contraindications there may be others that are not associated with the presence of herpes. Although in any case, it is worth spending time to cure this disease.

What else you should not forget is pregnancy, lactation and menstruation. At this time, a variety of hormonal changes occur in the body, so it is impossible to predict the reaction to the procedure.

All the contraindications described above can be easily taken into account if mesotherapy is carried out by specialists who will in detail ask the client, conduct a preliminary test for allergic reactions, and ensure the necessary sterility. Then hyaluronic acid in the lips, nasolabial folds, for the correction of facial contours will give stunning results.
