After getting Hyaron injections, it’s super important to take special care of your skin. I remember after my first session, my dermatologist told me that what I did in the following days would make a big difference. Let’s say I had around 10 vials of Hyaron; this stuff hydrates like no other. But that also means your skin needs a bit more pampering. Here’s what worked for me and what the experts recommend.
First off, make sure you wash your face gently. My dermatologist suggested using a mild cleanser because harsh ones can irritate the skin, especially after about 20 small needle pricks. I mean, that’s like aggravating your skin further when it’s already sensitive. Products with natural ingredients tend to be easier on the skin. Avoid scrubs or anything with granular texture. Based on a report in Allure magazine, it’s essential to keep everything smooth and calm.
Hydration is next. You might feel super moisturized right after your session, thanks to the Hyaron. But that effect can wear off. So, I usually follow up with a good hyaluronic acid serum. One potent serum I use has about 1.5% hyaluronic acid; this really locks in that moisture. Studies have shown that using hyaluronic acid can boost skin hydration by up to 30%. Won't lie—your skin will thank you for this.
Don’t forget about sunscreen. Even if it’s cloudy outside or you’re mostly indoors, those UV rays can still find you. I go for a broad-spectrum SPF 50 because higher SPF can provide more extended protection. I read in a 2020 skincare report that sunscreen with SPF 50 can block up to 98% of UVB rays. Just apply it generously every 2-3 hours, especially if you’re going out. Trust me, you do not want to skip this step.
Now, should you pile on the makeup right after your injection? The answer is a big no. Let your skin breathe a bit. According to dermatologists, you should give it at least 24 hours before applying any makeup. Even if you must, go for something lightweight and non-comedogenic. After my second session, I made the mistake of slathering on a heavy foundation, and my skin broke out like crazy. Learned that lesson the hard way.
Speaking of breakouts, here’s another tip: Don’t pick at your skin. Simple but crucial advice. Sure, those tiny red bumps might seem tempting to touch, but doing so can lead to scarring or even infection. One of my friends ended up with a nasty infection because she couldn’t resist the urge. So, hands off!
Switching gears to diet, make sure you’re consuming a lot of water and foods rich in vitamins. Hydrating from the inside makes a difference too. I aim for at least eight glasses of water a day. Plus, vitamin C-rich foods can help speed up the healing process. So, load up on oranges, berries, and even a vitamin C supplement if you have to. Nutritionists often tell me that what you eat has a direct impact on your skin health.
Lastly, consideration for re-scheduling your treatments. How soon is too soon for your next session? Normally, I wait about 4-6 weeks between treatments. According to most practitioners, this timeframe allows your skin to heal and maximize the benefits of each session. My cousin, who’s a skincare junkie, tried to shorten the interval to 2 weeks once, and her skin couldn’t handle it. She had to pause her treatments for a few months to let her skin recover.
That's pretty much my routine and what I've learned from consulting with experts and personal experience. Just remember, everyone’s skin is unique, so what works for me might need a bit of tweaking for you.
