Hyaluronic acid fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers are a technique used to “fill in”, smoothing or eliminating facial wrinkles that have become increasingly evident due to external factors such as sun exposure, diets, or the action of expressive muscles.

What is hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar naturally found in our skin It has the property of retaining water, which makes up up to a thousand times its weight; therefore, it is responsible for the hydration, volume, and tone of tissues. Every day, a third of our hyaluronic acid is renewed., Unfortunately, however, from the age of 25, this important component of tissues begins to gradually decrease., and with it the water it held. From this moment, our face, and not only, loses volume, hydration and tone.

employment of filler

So let's use fillers not just for wrinkles and lines (nasolabial folds, marionette lines, horizontal forehead lines, vertical glabellar lines above the nose, vertical lines at the sides of the lips), but also for all those areas where we want to restore lost volume following weight loss or the progressive dehydration that occurs with advancing age temple area, Tear duct, of the cheeks, of the Ear lobes), in addition to volumes that, perhaps, have never been what we would have wanted (cheekbones, receding chin, poorly defined jaw angles, lips), for purely genetic reasons or perhaps due to trauma, or sometimes simply because they are asymmetrical. We use resorbable fillers because they allow us to achieve natural results that faithfully accompany the normal changes that the skin undergoes over time.

cross-linked hyaluronic acid

Cross-linked or bonded Hyaluronic Acid“ It has the characteristic of being reabsorbed by the body in a variable time between 10 and 18 months depending on the depth of the area in which it is placed. Depending on the area that needs to be improved, we can choose between different degrees of density of Hyaluronic Acid gel: low density to fill in superficial wrinkles, High density to restore larger volumes.

fillers and other anti-ageing treatments

Our philosophy of the person as a whole and not as disconnected anatomical parts, involves the formulation of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan in which hyaluronic acid fillers are often associated with others anti-ageing medicine treatments as the Peeling, the smoothing of expression lines with Botulinum, the resurfacing laser Radiofrequency and the use of preventive and corrective cosmeceuticals, together with a healthy lifestyle which foresees exercise and a healthy diet.

“What kind of result should I expect from this treatment? I don't want it to be too noticeable or for it to completely change my appearance.”
Our general approach to Aesthetic medicine, They want to appear and be better gradually and without excess. Some unnatural “aesthetic” canons of the nineties do not belong to us, and indeed we strive tenaciously to ensure that the concept that true beauty strikes the unconscious and does not disturb always prevails. The restoration of certain volumes that have diminished with age, or their creation, always aims for harmony and proportion.

“Can I have side effects?”
Bruising can occur in the treated area, particularly if you make daily use of green tea or other anticoagulants (including aspirin or other anti-inflammatories), or if it is during your menstrual cycle; please always inform us of these situations. Everything usually resolves within a few days.

“How is the treatment carried out?”
The process begins with cleansing and disinfecting the area concerned. We assess the face to identify the areas that need filling. At this point, we apply a local anaesthetic cream and then proceed with the inoculation of hyaluronic acid.

“What precautions should I take after the treatment?”
Drink plenty of water to enhance the hydrating and plumping effect of hyaluronic acid; use SPF 50+ sunscreen; avoid direct sun exposure or UV lamps for 3-4 days; avoid saunas and steam rooms for 3-4 days.
