How long can a water-light injection last? How much does a water-light injection cost?

It is quite painful to get a hyaluronic acid injection, and you need to persist in doing it several times. The effect is also limited in duration. So let’s take a look at the price and duration of hyaluronic acid injection.

Generally, the effect of hydrating injections can last from six months to a year. The specific time depends on many factors and there is no accurate standard. For example, personal care, injection ingredients and skin barrier repair ability will affect the duration of hydrating injections.

1. Maintenance intensity

After the injection, the patient needs to carefully maintain the skin. During the maintenance, the patient should pay special attention to skin hydration and sun protection, so as to slow down the absorption of the injection and prolong the maintenance time of the injection.

2. Injectable ingredients

Nowadays, many people use injections to maintain their appearance, which has accelerated the development of medical beauty clinics. There are many kinds of ingredients for hydration injections, and the more commonly used ones are botulinum toxin, L-vitamin C, etc. There are some differences in the maintenance time of these two materials. Usually, L-vitamin C can maintain its effect longer.

3. Skin repair ability

When injecting water light needles, it will cause certain damage to the skin. If the patient's skin repair ability is relatively strong and can quickly repair the damage, then the duration of the water light needle can be extended. If the patient's skin repair ability is poor, not only will the duration of the water light needle be shortened, but it may also cause local skin inflammation.

Faced with dull facial skin and large pores, beauty lovers rack their brains for whitening and skin care, but the final effect is not satisfactory. However, beauty-loving female friends, who originally had fair and delicate skin that could show their youthful true colors, now have problems, so they choose to use water light needles in medical plastic surgery projects to solve them. So, how much does a water light needle cost? At present, the price of water light needles varies in various hospitals and major plastic surgery institutions. If you do a water light needle in a beauty salon, the cost may be around 1,000 yuan. If you go to a regular hospital, the cost of the operation may range from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. This price difference often prompts people to choose treatment institutions, but regular hospitals should be the most ideal place. We need to understand them in detail from different aspects.

1. Personal reasons

Different people seeking beauty have different skin problems. Of course, the location of the hydration injection, the amount, the injection plan, etc. will be different, so the cost will also be different.

2. Hospital reasons

Choosing different hospitals for hydration injections will cost different amounts because different hospitals have different levels of medical skills and the costs will vary.

3. Expert reasons

Since experts have different qualifications and experience, their fees will also vary.

High-concentration pure hyaluronic acid is the most effective hydrating injection that my friends and I have ever received, no doubt about it (this is not an advertisement, please take a look, don’t waste your money), and it requires to be injected manually by a doctor.

Many people have asked me what brand I want to use. I think as long as the brand is safe, if you want the hyaluronic acid injection to achieve the best effect, the key is "high-concentration pure hyaluronic acid" and "doctor's hand injection"!

1) High concentration of pure hyaluronic acid

From the ingredient point of view, the main component of hydration injection is hyaluronic acid (i.e. hyaluronic acid). Hyaluronic acid is not just a filling material. Hyaluronic acid has different molecular sizes. Large molecules are generally used to fill facial contours and fine parts, while small molecules are used as the main component of hydration.

So what we call a water injection is actually a hyaluronic acid injection. Hyaluronic acid is already in our body, but it decreases with age, so it is not harmful to the human body. When hyaluronic acid enters the skin, it combines with the water in the skin to moisturize and improve skin elasticity.

Why are “high concentration” and “purity” so important?

Because the main purpose of hydrating injections is to replenish water, and hyaluronic acid is a hydrating ingredient. If it is diluted, the hydrating effect will be weakened. The basis of all skin care is to be carried out on the condition that the skin is fully hydrated. For example, whitening the skin when it is dehydrated will irritate the skin and make it sensitive; for example, anti-aging treatments on the skin when it is dehydrated will aggravate wrinkles.

For example, many controversial retinol eye creams, such as Shiseido's Revitalise Eye Cream and Elixir Eye Cream, have been used by some people with excellent wrinkle removal effects, while others have experienced deeper wrinkles the more they use them. The most important reason is that these products are used when the eye skin is dehydrated, which in turn causes deeper wrinkles.

If you have this kind of product at home, you can try mixing it with eye oil, eye mask, or other products that can hydrate the skin. The effect will be much better! If this doesn’t improve, don’t stay up late!

Also, wrinkles are irreversible. I've heard of eye creams that can make fine lines disappear, but I've never heard of eye creams that can make wrinkles disappear. This is because fine lines at this time are most likely dry lines, and the skin and muscles have not yet formed a memory. So there is a chance to remove them with skin care products, but once true static wrinkles are formed, skin care products can't save them, they can only delay deepening.

I hope everyone can understand the importance of hydration by giving this example. If the hydrating injection can’t even do the most basic hydration, then what other effects can it have? The “several-in-one” products on the market are often the most useless.

2) Doctor typing

Manual injection means that the doctor directly uses the hydrating needle to inject it on the face. The injection goes directly into the skin, so the effect level will be much deeper than that of gun injection, and it can really act on the dermis as much as possible. Dehydration, aging and dryness often start from the inside. Manual injection can also make the effect of the hydrating needle last longer and maximize the cost-effectiveness!

Generally speaking, our skin is usually hydrated on the surface, and the molecules of skin care products absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! cannot enter the dermis of the skin, so the hydration effect can only be short-lived.

The layers of gun-shot are relatively shallow. If the layers of gun-shot are very deep, the face will definitely be full of holes and look terrible. However, the skin will be red for a while after the water-light gun-shot, which will be explained later. Because the layers are shallow, gun-shot will need to be done several times to achieve a better effect, which is also more troublesome.

What's even more heartbreaking is that the hyaluronic acid will be lost in the process of injecting the hyaluronic acid into the instrument. It's so painful to see that some of the hyaluronic acid is lost after you have been so careful to inject the hyaluronic acid into the instrument. If you inject it by hand, all of it will go into the skin.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that the subject of manual injection must be "doctor". Do not do it yourself, go to a small studio or workshop, or find a so-called "therapist" or "doctor's assistant" to do it. If hyaluronic acid is injected into the blood vessels, it will block the blood vessels and cause skin necrosis.

This is also why many institutions claim that gun-type is better even though manual typing is obviously more effective, because gun-type has much lower risks, so they inexplicably start promoting that gun-type is better. Every time I see this, I want to complain... (Keep a low profile, just take a small notebook and write it down, don't betray me, thank you)

From the sharing cases I have seen at home and abroad, the effect of a single hyaluronic acid injection can only last for 6-9 months at most, and it is impossible to last more than a year!!!

Current personal situation:

I had high-concentration pure hyaluronic acid injected into my hands from January to September, and the effect lasted for 8 months. Now I can clearly feel that my skin condition is not as good as it was right after the injection, but the weather is dry now and my skin has not peeled (my skin used to peel so much that my mother couldn't recognize it).

My skin is now healthier than before, so if you are worried that the hyaluronic acid injection will make your skin sensitive, or that your skin will get worse after the hyaluronic acid injection wears off, don’t worry. As long as you don’t do it every month for a long time, there will be no problem.

If you get it injected every month for a long time, your skin will lose its self-repairing ability and become more sensitive.

I also tried other hydrating treatments twice from January to September, but the effects were very average and were quickly metabolized. Let me tell you about them below.

2. Compound water light needle

It's a very famous brand. I really like their facial cream which is non-acnegenic and very comfortable, so I've been interested in this brand. I went there to get a compound hydrating injection, which is said to have a whitening effect, but it turned out to have no effect at all.

Later I learned that this hydrating treatment contains vitamins and proteins, which dilute and reduce the hyaluronic acid components, so the effect is very small. This is why this hydrating treatment needs to be applied every month in the first few months, and once every two months thereafter. I feel that this kind of medical beauty is really meaningless as it lasts so short a time.

I also discovered a bug. The hyaluronic acid component of the water light injection is actually the most valuable. After adding other ingredients, it can not only reduce costs but also promote other effects. (Not targeting all compound water light injections, just a joke)

However, hyaluronic acid injection is already a very mature technology, so the compound hyaluronic acid injection cannot be generalized. Some hyaluronic acid injections + botox can control oil, and the compound hyaluronic acid injections can also have a whitening effect.

Here I have mentioned the example of my poorly treated compound hydration, and I want to tell you that even if you have compound hydration, you don’t need to do it long-term. Long-term treatment is not rational in itself. Ask clearly when you go for hydration.

3. Water Gun

Yes, the water gun that I just complained about, I turned around and went to shoot it myself. The slap in the face may be late but it will come!

I was dragged there by a friend and had an "ice gun" shot. I am 100% sure that she was attracted by the name... It is said to be the "purest" hyaluronic acid on the market, and it is also the only hyaluronic acid that can stimulate one's own collagen protein.

I used it once, and it was my first time using a hydrating gun. The marks were very heavy and the redness and swelling were quite severe, but it faded away in about a few hours. The effect was that my skin looked brighter in the next two days, and the new acne marks faded faster, but the rest were not noticeable. The effect only lasted for one or two weeks.

But my friend had it three times (once with a gun, twice with hands, the ice gun can also be replaced with an ice needle), and the effect was much better than mine. Her skin was translucent and clear, and after two months it was still as good as it was a few months after I had just injected high-concentration hyaluronic acid. It is said that three times can last about a year.
