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.
