I got Hyaluronic Acid based filler injection on my nose one week ago. In order to maintain the effects of the filler, could I take some Hyaluronic Acid supplement? Or could I apply Hyaluronic Acid serum on the nose?

At SkinCeuticals, our Integrated Skincare approach is centered on the belief that a precise combination of clinical in-office procedures, professional treatments, and an advanced homecare regimen is the ideal recipe to help maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin. For this reason, we formulate our skincare for maximum efficacy alone, and as a complement to office-based treatments for enhanced outcomes. Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant capable of holding 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it an excellent moisturizer when applied topically. SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier has been tested as an ideal at-home complement to professional injectable treatments. This multi-functional serum improves the appearance of firmness and facial plumpness. Best of luck.

Oral or topically applied hyaluronic acid will not help prolong filler injections. Injectable fillers are absorbed into the tissues and usually last eight months to a year. Creams containing hyaluronic acid stay on top of the skin and act like moisturizers. There are no good scientific studies proving that oral hyaluronic acids give any benefit, except to the company selling them.
