HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS

The main property of hyaluronic acid is its high capacity for retaining water. It can hold up nearly one thousand times its own molecular weight in water. This property makes hyaluronic acid one of the most important elements for long-lasting skin hydration. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into a subcutaneous layer of the skin, to correct wrinkles and lines, fill-in hollows as well as shape the lip and facial contours. Fillers are also used to restore elasticity and moisture to the skin, as well as reduce some skin surface irregularities.

Before having an aesthetic procedure with hyaluronic acid fillers, the area to be injected is anaesthetised, so that there is a minimal amount or no pain during the treatment.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are naturally absorbed by (eliminated from) the body over time. The average duration of the filler effect is 6 to 12 months (about 6 months for the lips), but depending on the client’s skin type, age and lifestyle, the amount of injection and the area of skin where the injection was made, the duration can be both longer and shorter. Injections can be repeated, and there is no limit to the number of repetitions.

Very likely “yes”! This treatment can be performed at the first sign of facial lines and wrinkles no matter how old you are (even if you are under 30), and it is appropriate for both men and women who would like to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The only time we advise avoiding the treatment is if you have a blood or vascular disease, take anticoagulants or have allergies. Although the treatment is completely safe, we also recommend postponing it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

For both hyaluronic and botulinum injections, the aim is to eliminate or significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines, and to improve the condition and appearance of your skin. However, the effects of these treatments are quite different, so your specialist will offer advice on which injection is the right choice for you. One of the differences that can help to decide which injection is preferable is the different effects of these substances. Hyaluronic acid injections have an advantage in that they can be used not only for the reduction of wrinkles and lines, but also for facial contouring to improve the shape of the lower jaw, cheeks, nose and lips. Botox doesn’t offer the same benefits, but it’s a great solution for correcting facial wrinkles and lines, as well as combating extensive sweating or teeth grinding at night.

Hyaluronic acid filler injections have been successfully used for smoothing wrinkles and the non-surgical correction of facial contours. This method allows you to fill in the volume of the lost tissue by filling in microscopic gaps between the collagen fibres, which then stimulates collagen synthesis and the natural production of hyaluronan by the body. What does this mean? Wrinkles are reduced and the skin looks younger and more expressive, without any surgical intervention. While hyaluronic acid is most commonly used for smoothing wrinkles, it can also be used to: restore the shape of the cheeks and shape the contours of the face; keep the skin supple and soft, and reduce the appearance of small scars on the skin; correct the shape of lips for a plumper look; restore youthful radiance and moisture to the skin; combat cold sores by treating the sores that it causes; and more.

It is best to refrain from injecting hyaluronic acid in the following cases: if you are allergic to the components of the product; if you suffer from a skin, inflammatory or autoimmune disease; after a laser facial treatment or a chemical scrub, we suggest having avoiding a hyaluronic acid injection for two weeks after the treatment; the treatment is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; and the Clinic’s specialists reserve the right to refuse the treatment if the client’s expectations exceed the expected results, or if the client’s vision is to achieve unnatural-looking facial features.

Hyaluronic acid injection is a completely safe treatment because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. However, to help you heal faster and to avoid the risk of infection, here are some doctor’s recommendations that we recommend you follow after the treatment: use only sterile make-up for a few days after the injections (you can purchase a sterile cream powder for use after facial treatments in our Clinic); avoid both artificial and natural sunlight, saunas and baths for at least two weeks; avoid extensive exercise or intense contact sports for a few days; and both before and after the treatment we recommend refraining from smoking and consuming alcohol.

Hyaluronic acid injections are very safe and the side effects they cause are rare and usually disappear after a few days. You may notice some redness, swelling, bruising and, in some cases, itching after the treatment. In rare cases, the injection site may feel hard, it may bleed, suppurate, or you might notice nodules, dyschromia, local numbness or a migration of the filler. Hyaluronic acid injections usually only cause short-term and mild, easily tolerable side effects, but if the side effects persist and you experience them for more than a few days, don’t hesitate to visit our Clinic, where the doctors will examine you and offer options to resolve the situation.

All aesthetic treatments can be safely combined with hyaluronic acid injections. However, if you have had a laser, peeling or other aesthetic treatment, we recommend giving your skin 2-3 weeks recover from the effects of the previous treatment before having the hyaluronic injections.

Mimic wrinkles and other facial lines develop very differently in every person, and smoothing them is required for more pronounced facial wrinkles, regardless of the age of the patient. Fortunately, there is no age limit for hyaluronic acid injections, which can also be given to patients under the age of 30.

Yes, they are perfectly suitable for men and women of all ages who want to enjoy a younger, more beautiful complexion and to get rid of facial wrinkles and lines. The treatment is only contraindicated if you have an autoimmune, inflammatory, blood or vascular disease (as well as if you are taking anticoagulants), or if you are allergic to the products used in the treatment.
