A new skincare trend that s gaining traction on TikTok could have serious consequences. Some app users have shared clips of themselves injecting hyaluronic acid into their faces for alleged skincare benefits, but experts warn this isn t something you should do if you re not a licensed professional.
In a February 18 press release, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery Association issued a warning about this practice. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery Association (ASDSA) wants to alert the public about children buying and using hyaluron pens to inject hyaluronic acid filler into the epidermal and upper dermal layers of the skin, the statement reads. ASDSA members, who are all board certified dermatologists, have found questionable social media videos in which children use these pens to self-inject and promote their use to peers.
