Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid injections are generally well tolerated cosmetic procedures but the sensation of pain is individual and depends on the area of treatment. Most patients do not experience the injection of HA fillers as painful. The use of a numbing cream at the injection site prior to treatment may be recommended by the physician to minimise discomfort.

Yes, the results are visible shortly after the treatment and continue to improve over the course of a few days.

Within no time you can expect a natural, radiant complexion which makes applying make-up a lot easier.

Hyaluronic acid is a volumising substance produced naturally by our organisms. It is a major component of connective tissue and is responsible for the hydration, elasticity, and protection of our dermis.

In addition to its healing and anti-inflammatory properties, hyaluronic acid reactivates the number and functioning of fibroblasts that are responsible for collagen production.

However, as we age, our bodies tend to produce less hyaluronic acid, which can lead to a loss of volume. Therefore, this type of filler has been used as a skinbooster in aesthetic medicine for years.

It is now found in many cosmetics and skin treatments, including anti-aging creams and even lipsticks. It is used to smooth fine lines, plump the skin and redefine the contours of the face.

You can now do different fillers in different injection sites and enjoy significant enhancements with fillers for chin augmentation, jawline fillers, cheekbone fillers, or lip fillers. Dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid are FDA-approved.

Hyaluronic acid injections are suitable for nasolabial folds, marionette lines and smile lines. Additionally, the injectable fillers can be successfully used for augmentation – specifically as lip fillers, to improve the contour of the cheekbones or the jawline, smooth expression lines and reduce dark circles in the under-eye area as well as for nose correction.

The same goes for tear troughs and sunken lower eyelids which can be ideally treated with hyaluron fillers.

The treatment goal determines which layer of the skin the filler is injected into. In some cases, such as with advanced crow's feet, a combination of hyaluronic acid with other treatment options such as a muscle relaxant might prove useful.

Your physician will give you an individual consultation to achieve optimal results.

As with any medical procedure, risks and side effects can occur. Your specialist will inform you about possible risks and how to minimise them. Common side effects include redness, swelling, temporary bruising and small haematomas around the treated area. These effects are not worrying and usually disappear within a few days. Rarer complications include allergic reactions or infections, but these are rare when the injections are carried out by a qualified professional.
