A Hyaluron Pen is a tool for making injections of hyaluronic acid, without piercing holes with a needle. Indeed, it is a pen that works thanks to a pressure system. No needle means less pain and that's a godsend for all the hesitant people who were afraid of hurting!
What is Hyaluron Pen?
Hyaluronic acid is able to accumulate up to 1000 times its weight in water, which is why it has a volumizing and moisturizing effect. It is more or less depending on its reticulation. If you want to know more, you will find here a small article on hyaluronic acid.
It is thanks to its volatile side and its very small size that hyaluronic acid can penetrate the skin, hydrate it and restore its volume. These abilities give it the ability to be introduced under the skin by a technique called "barophoresis" which simply means that there is no needle used, only the action of pressure.
Note: It is strongly recommended that the practitioner undergo training in hygiene and asepsis as well as a formation hyaluron pen before use. Here is an online course on this subject that might interest you: hyaluron pen online training on hyaluronic expertise

For the hyaluron pen as for injections, the important thing is to choose a quality hyaluronic acid. However, the Hyaluron Pen penetrating the dermis by pressure, it is generally necessary to use HA gels at most, moderately cross-linked and concentrated, so that their texture is not too firm in order to penetrate more deeply.
- How to use the hyaluron pen?
It is important to remember that if you decide to use this tool, it is necessary to do training.
But, broadly speaking, first of all, you have to load the pen to block the pressure, insert the hyaluronic acid into a sterile ampoule, taking care to remove and then put back the rod present in the ampoule, then screw the bulb on the pen.
Remember to gently massage the area after each penetration of HA.
Be careful, the choice of hyaluronic acid is made according to its concentration and cross-linking (the higher this number, the thicker and more volumizing your hyaluronic acid will be).

- How long do the effects of a Hyaluron Pen session last?
The Hyaluron Pen differs from needle or cannula injections in that it can only go into the epidermis (the upper layer of the dermis) which is why its effect will never be as strong or long-lasting. The duration of the results is estimated between 3 and 6 months depending on the hyaluronic acid used.
- Is the Hyaluron Pen banned?
It is true that the ANSM has suspended the import, placing on the market and consequently the distribution of some Hyaluron Pens.
The reasons given are that the manufacturing companies chose a CE certification mode intended for class I medical devices when they should have chosen those for class IIa.
These reasons force today to temporarily suspend its marketing.
