Creatine impact on dermal filler?

Creatine is a popular supplement known for its ability to enhance muscle mass and improve exercise performance. Its main mechanism of action involves increasing water content in muscle cells, which can lead to water retention. However, when it comes to dermal fillers, particularly those made of hyaluronic acid, the interaction is generally not considered significant.

Hyaluronic acid fillers work by attracting and holding water in the tissue, providing volume and hydration to the treated areas. Since creatine's water retention effects are primarily intracellular (within muscle cells), it is unlikely to affect the extracellular water balance where dermal fillers reside. Therefore, taking creatine should not have a negative impact on the efficacy or appearance of your fillers.

It's always a good idea to maintain adequate hydration, as this supports both your overall health and the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid fillers. If you have any concerns or experience unexpected changes after starting a new supplement, it's advisable to consult with your dermatologist or healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances and treatment history.
