Hyaluronic acid – Filler
Hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), is a hydrophilic structural component of tissues. A cornerstone in the synthesis of skin collagen. It has the ability to attract water, providing hydration, replenishing lost facial volume, smoothing folds and correcting wrinkles.
Its synthesis and degradation in our body is a dynamic process between our skin cells. Over time, the loss of hyaluronic acid as a structural component of tissues causes loss of volume, thinning of the skin, and the formation of wrinkles, giving the appearance of dehydrated skin.
With the help of biotechnology, it is prepared in the laboratory in the safest ways and undergoes modifications to increase its duration, the volume it provides as well as its degradation time. It is available in various densities to be suitable depending on the purpose of use.
The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and the patient can return to daily activities immediately after the treatment. After the procedure is completed, mild swelling and redness may occur in the application area, which disappear within the next 2-3 days. The result is impressive and immediately visible during treatment.
The treatment is painless, however, there is the option of applying anesthetic cream 30 minutes before the application.
The results can last from 6 months to 2 years. It depends on the density of the hyaluronic acid and the area in which it is applied. To maintain a satisfactory result, the placement of hyaluronic acid is required to be repeated approximately every year.
