HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
- Sclerotherapy involves injection of a non harmful-irritant solution in vein causing it to shrink & disappear It does not have any effect on pregnancy.
- Hyoluronic acid is used as a healing agent in acne treatment. It is also seen in normal human cell / synovial fluid in joint..Also used to facilitate fetal wound healing. so it can not not cause any harm to fetus.
So, rest assured you have not caused any harm to your fetus till today. Hence forward be careful about the things you eat/ use .. it's a good habit.
thanks.
