Currently, there are no known side effects for most hyaluronic acid
products including pills, serums, creams and liquids. However, there are
some side effects associated with knee and facial injections.
Some of the less common side effects for knee injections of hyaluronic
acid include: blue color or flushing or redness of skin, cough, difficulty
in swallowing, dizziness or feeling faint, fever, redness or pain at place
of injection, skin rash, hives, and/or itching, stuffy nose, swelling of
eyelids, face, or lips, as well as tightness in chest, troubled breathing,
and/or wheezing.
Some of the more common side effects for knee injections of hyaluronic
acid include: diarrhea, headache, itching of the skin, large blue or
purplish patches in the skin, loss of appetite; nausea and/or vomiting,
stomach pain and swelling of the knee.
Facial injections of hyaluronic acid gel to combat aging do not pose an
allergy risk for patients. However, hyaluronic acid gel does not
contain lidocaine, an anesthetic, so injections can be painful. In
addition, there is usually temporary inflammation that produces swelling
and redness following injection with hyaluronic acid gel – especially in
the lip area.
