1. Macromolecular Hyaluronic Acid
The macromolecular hyaluronic acid has the hardest texture and lasts the longest time. It is suitable for shaping. It is mainly used in shaping surgery such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and chin augmentation. The filling part is deep tissue. The macromolecular hyaluronic acid can also be used to remove wrinkles. The hyaluronic acid is injected into the dermal folds or areas that want to be plumped in the form of fillers, such as lips, cheeks, and chin. The effect of wrinkle removal with macromolecular hyaluronic acid can be maintained for a relatively long time.
2. Mid-molecular hyaluronic acid
Medium-molecular hyaluronic acid is generally slightly softer, suitable for soft tissue filling and certain filling and wrinkle removal; the injection site is usually the tear groove, lip and wrinkle horizontally, but like macro-molecular hyaluronic acid, the injection site of medium-molecular hyaluronic acid is also deep tissue. Fill the surface of the skin.
3. Small molecule hyaluronic acid
Small molecule hyaluronic acid is a molecule of hyaluronic acid like water. It is generally used for fine carving and wrinkle removal. It is mainly used for injection in the dermis of the whole face. It can replenish the lack of moisture in the dermis, repair damaged skin, and play a role in moisturizing. The skin rejuvenation function makes up for the lack of large and medium-molecule hyaluronic acid.

Precautions after hyaluronic acid injection
1. Do not touch the injection area for at least 6 hours after the injection, and do not use cosmetics and other irritating substances, and do not touch water within 24 hours after the injection.
2. After the injection, please keep your face relaxed and do not make excessive facial expressions.
3. Spicy foods and seafood are fasted within one week after injection, and light foods are the main ones.
4. Non-smoking alcohol within one week after injection.
5. Postoperative patients should not take aspirin or other similar drugs. Such drugs reduce the coagulation function of platelets and are not conducive to the recovery of the injection site.
6. After the injection of hyaluronic acid, there will be slight redness, swelling, and itching, because of the difference in physique, the degree of appearance is different, but this phenomenon will disappear soon, don't worry.
7. Please avoid extremely hot (sauna) or extremely cold places before the swelling and redness at the initial stage of the injection are eliminated. These are not conducive to the recovery of the injection site.
8. Try to avoid hot springs, saunas and other places after hyaluronic acid injection.
