Hyaluronic acid fillers
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular choices in aesthetic medicine, offering effective solutions for restoring volume and eliminating wrinkles. With fillers, we can fill in wrinkles, add volume to cheekbones, and provide deep hydration to the skin. The biocompatibility of hyaluronic acid with human tissue ensures the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component in our bodies, capable of holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. This unique ability contributes to maintaining skin elasticity and moisture, giving a more youthful and fresh appearance. The hyaluronic acid used for injectable treatments is lab-prepared and biodegradable.
Application areas
Hyaluronic acid can be applied to various areas of the face and body, including:
- Lips: Increases volume, defines contour, and improves shape.
- Cheekbones: Adds emphasis and volume.
- Facial oval: Enhances contour.
- Forehead and glabellar wrinkles: Not the first choice for treatment; neurotoxin is preferred in these areas.
- Dark circles: Corrects the area under the eyes.
- Perioral wrinkles: Eliminates lines around the mouth.
Treatment
The procedure is quick and relatively painless. Specially processed materials, often containing lidocaine, are used to minimize pain. An anesthetic cream is applied before treatment. The injection is performed with very small needles and is brief. In sensitive areas, such as under the eyes, special cannulas are used to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
After the procedure, slight redness or swelling may occur, typically resolving within 24 hours. The results are visible immediately.
Duration and maintenance
The results last from 9 to 18 months, depending on the application area and the patient’s metabolism. Thus, the frequency of treatment can vary from person to person. More frequent treatments may prolong the results.
Side effects
Hyaluronic acid is generally safe. The most common side effects include redness, mild swelling, or bruising, which resolve quickly. Rare complications may include allergic reactions, prolonged swelling, infection, vascular complications, granulomas and migration of the material. A significant advantage of the treatment is that the material can be quickly dissolved with hyaluronidase injection in case of unwanted effects.
Conclusion
Hyaluronic acid is a safe and effective method for improving skin appearance, offering youthfulness and freshness. Our clinic is dedicated to providing only natural results, ensuring that we maintain everyone’s unique characteristics.
