Is it okay to sterilize hyaluronic acid gel with UV? (photo)

there is absolutely no reason to do this.  I think manipulation of the filler is best to avoid, as the fillers are tested siginifantly before they are used on people. with proper technique and cleanliness there is reason for this. Best, Dr. Emer.

I have never heard this done before and I don't see a reason why it should be done. Infection with filler injections is very rare when proper precautions are taken. Hopefully they aren't doing this because they are re-using the syringes between patients.

The syringes that the company send us are sterile.  There is no reason to do additional sterilization. Not sure what the UV radiation is going to do to the product, but could possibly alter the consistency.  I would not recommend doing this.
