Complications are extremely rare when treating wrinkles with hyaluronic acid. No allergic reactions have been described with hyaluronic acid, which is a clear advantage over collagen injections.
More serious complications are not attributable to hyaluronic acid, but rather to the wrinkle injection procedure.
Swelling
Slight swelling and redness are normal after wrinkle smoothing and can be reduced by cooling. Depending on the type of injection and the amount injected, at least 2-4 days of swelling must be taken into account for lip correction.
Infections
As with any injection, an infection with a syringe abscess can occur, which is particularly unwelcome on the face. For this reason, we pay attention to the usual sterility required for minor surgical procedures when treating wrinkles with hyaluronic acid in Düsseldorf.
Irregularities after wrinkle treatments with hyaluronic acid
Contour irregularities and asymmetries may remain. However, these can be corrected 2-3 weeks after the treatment without the need for hyaluronic acid injections.
Bleaching
Bleaching is a light discoloration in the area of the injection sites, which we can prevent by massaging it out during the wrinkle injection.
