Hyaluronic acid is a component of the extracellular matrix, which provides support to skin cells. It is found in high concentrations in the dermis, where it binds water and helps retain moisture. Hyaluronic acid has been used as an injectable filler for cosmetic procedures for many years.

Recently, concerns have been raised about the failure of hyaluronic acid injections leading to serious complications up to blindness.

This is why hyaluronic acid injections MUST be carried out by a doctor who is an expert in the field and not by just anyone who believes that knowing how to hold a syringe between their fingers is sufficient. For information, these people are likely to be convicted of illegal practice of medicine.

What to do in the event of a failed treatment or unwanted side effect?

Hyaluronidase may be injected into the treatment site in order to dissolve the injected hyaluronic acid. Once again, this procedure must be carried out by a doctor specializing in the field.
