What Researchers Did
This study reported on the treatment of a patient who experienced skin damage after a hyaluronic acid injection for a nonsurgical nose job.
What They Found
Researchers found that a 30-year-old woman developed skin damage (ischaemia and early necrosis) on her nasal tip after a hyaluronic acid injection. After starting a multi-faceted treatment approximately 72 hours later, her ischaemia improved on the first day, and her skin fully healed within 26 days.
