FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What can hyaluronic acid injections be used for?
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.
Are hyaluronic acid injections painful?
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.
Do I need to repeat the injections to maintain the effect?
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.
Am I the right candidate?
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.
What is the difference between hyaluronic acid injections and botulinum injections?
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.
What are hyaluronic acid injections used for?
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.
