Hyaluronic fillers
What are hyaluronic fillers, and how do they work?
Hyaluronic fillers are revolutionary treatments in aesthetic medicine that deliver instant, visible results. These fillers deeply hydrate the skin, improve its tone, texture, and color, and define facial contours, giving you a youthful appearance.
Benefits of hyaluronic fillers
Hyaluronic fillers offer numerous advantages in aesthetic medicine. Here’s what they can achieve:
Full face rejuvenation:
- Intensely hydrate the skin, leaving it instantly refreshed and rejuvenated.
- Improve skin tone for a plump and firm appearance.
- Enhance skin complexion and radiance.
- Provide long-lasting skin quality improvement.
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production, reducing the depth of wrinkles.
- Smooth out wrinkles across the face, enhancing the youthful look of the skin and overall facial appearance.
- Define facial contours and soften a “bony” appearance, giving the face a more youthful and balanced look.
Where can hyaluronic fillers be applied?
Forehead Hyaluronic fillers soften fine and deep wrinkles on the forehead, making the skin smooth and firm. The treatment restores a youthful appearance and reduces visible signs of aging.
Eye area Fillers eliminate hollow under-eye circles by restoring volume in the under-eye region, where fat is lost during aging. They also fill in wrinkles that appear when smiling, refreshing the appearance and reducing signs of fatigue.
Nose Hyaluronic fillers correct minor imperfections in the nose’s shape, offering subtle changes without the need for surgery. The treatment enhances facial harmony and creates a more proportional profile.
Lips Fillers enhance lip volume, define contours, and restore lost volume. They also deeply hydrate dry lip skin, leaving them smooth, soft, and attractive.
Cheeks The treatment restores volume to sunken cheeks and fills nasolabial folds (“smile lines”) and vertical “smoker’s lines,” making them appear shallower. Hyaluronic fillers also define facial contours, giving the face a fresh and youthful look.
Chin Fillers contour the jawline; for women, they create a softer and rounder appearance, while for men, they emphasize a strong and defined jawline. They also fill wrinkles below the lips, providing a more harmonious look to the lower face.
Neck and décolletage Hyaluronic fillers improve the appearance of the neck and décolletage by reducing the depth of horizontal and vertical wrinkles. These treatments restore elasticity, leaving the skin smooth and refreshed.
Hands Hyaluronic filler treatments rejuvenate the appearance of the hands by restoring volume and reducing wrinkles. They also hydrate the skin, making it soft, elastic, and smooth to the touch.AesPlla® also helps improve the appearance of atrophic scars by stimulating new collagen production, offering an exciting new treatment option for patients with textural irregularities or indentations. This treatment is suitable for both women and men and is especially recommended for more mature skin types with pronounced signs of aging.
Is preparation necessary for hyaluronic fillers?
No preparation is needed. Before injecting the fillers, the skin is disinfected, and an anesthetic cream is applied to eliminate pain.
What will you feel during the treatment?
There is no pain. You will only feel brief discomfort during the injection of hyaluronic fillers.
How long does the treatment take?
The filler treatment lasts no longer than 20–30 minutes, even when applied to the entire face.
When are the results visible?
The results of hyaluronic fillers are immediate! You’ll look several years younger instantly. Noticeable improvements in skin texture will be visible right after the procedure. For special occasions where a quick enhancement is needed, hyaluronic fillers are ideal. It’s recommended to undergo the treatment 7 days prior to an event to ensure you look rejuvenated and fresh.
How long is the recovery?
In most cases, no recovery is required, as the treatment often leaves no visible signs on the face, neck, décolletage, or hands. You can return to work or attend events immediately.
Occasionally, mild redness or bruising may appear. You might experience slight swelling for the first 2–3 days. The full effect becomes evident starting on the 7th day post-treatment.
What should you avoid after hyaluronic filler treatments?
Although adverse effects from hyaluronic injections are extremely rare, it’s important to follow these recommendations during the first 24–48 hours after the treatment:
- Avoid making excessive facial expressions.
- Refrain from kissing for the first 1–2 days, regardless of the type of kiss.
- Do not touch, press, or massage your face for the first 7 days.
- Sleep on your back for the first 48 hours. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side, as the gel-like structure of hyaluronic acid may migrate to areas where additional volume is not desired.
- Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages; instead, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Postpone physical workouts or intense physical activities for 48 hours.
- Avoid saunas, tanning beds, or the beach for the first 24 hours. Also, stay away from extremely cold temperatures.
- While applying cold compresses is optional, it can be done within the first two hours after treatment if desired.
Are there any side effects?
No. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in our skin, making allergic reactions extremely rare. Mild redness or bruising at the injection site may occur but typically subsides quickly.
How long do the effects last?
In most cases, the effects last around 6 months, and in some individuals, even longer.
Does the use of hyaluronic fillers create dependency?
Absolutely not! It is a misconception that your skin will look worse after hyaluronic filler treatments. Regular use of hyaluronic dermal fillers leads to a permanent improvement in your skin’s quality and tone. How often these treatments are recommended depends on your skin’s specific needs, which your doctor will determine. With each subsequent treatment, the interval between sessions may extend, reaching up to 12 months in some cases.
