Abstract

We report the case of a woman who underwent application of hyaluronic acid (HA) on lips with progression to Herpes simplex and Streptococcus infection after manipulation. Then, after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, the patient presented with delayed hypersensitivity reaction (DHR) in the area where HA was previously applied. Afterwards, the patient got a positive test to COVID-19 and was diagnosed with DHR again. We describe this rare association of Hypersensitivity reactions and our procedures, therefore, aesthetic professionals should be aware of this possibility and advise patients accordingly
