We use facial fillers primarily to replenish volume; but they also have a biostimulation function (synthesis of collagen and elastin, as well as promoting fat increase) and promoting rejuvenation. Among the active ingredients are: hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in our body, especially in the skin, connective tissues and joints. It is known for its ability to retain water and provide hydration to tissues. In the realm of facial rejuvenation, hyaluronic acid is commonly used in the form of dermal fillers to help restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve the appearance of the skin. We use them to: fill lips and perioral area, fill wrinkles, volumize cheekbones, chin, temporal pits, rejuvenation of the neck and décolleté, treatment of sunken dark circles, facial harmonization, etc. And also as body fillers, such as sunken scars, volumization of legs, hands, intimate areas and buttocks.
How does hyaluronic acid work in the context of rejuvenation?
- Hydration: Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to attract and retain large amounts of water. This helps hydrate the skin from within, which is essential for keeping it soft, supple and healthy looking.
- Volume Filling: As we age, we gradually lose volume in certain areas of the face. Hyaluronic acid is used as a dermal filler to restore that lost volume, especially in areas such as the cheekbones, cheeks, and lips.
- Reduction of Wrinkles and Folds: Hyaluronic acid can fill in fine lines and wrinkles by acting as a structural support under the skin. This can soften the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin.
- Collagen Stimulation: Some hyaluronic acid products can also stimulate the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin elasticity and firmness. This contributes to a long-term rejuvenating effect.
- Temporary Results: It is important to note that the effects of hyaluronic acid are temporary, as it gradually breaks down over time. The duration of the results may vary depending on the product used and the area treated.
- Non-Surgical Procedure: Fillers with hyaluronic acid are non-surgical procedures that are performed in the office. The application is usually quick and with minimal discomfort.
Aftercare:
- Avoid makeup and sun exposure: Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least the first 24 hours. Likewise, it is advisable to avoid direct exposure to the sun and tanning beds for a few days.
- Avoid intense exercise: Avoid intense physical activities and vigorous exercise during the first 24-48 hours. Increased blood flow and excessive sweating can affect the distribution of hyaluronic acid.
- Avoid facial massages: Avoid facial massages or excessive manipulation of the treated area during the first days. This is especially important to prevent product migration.
- Do not touch or press the area: Avoid touching or pressing the treated area with dirty hands to prevent infection and displacement of the product.
- Apply cold compresses (if necessary): If you experience swelling or bruising, you can apply cold compresses at short intervals for the first few hours. This can help reduce inflammation.
- Hydration and skin care: Keep skin well hydrated. Use gentle skin care products without irritating ingredients. You can continue your normal skin care routine after the first 24 hours.
- Avoid certain medications and supplements: Avoid the use of anti-inflammatories that could alter the properties and effects of the product. Ask us about your usual medication.
- Follow our instructions: Make sure you follow them carefully. This may include aftercare recommendations and follow-up checkups.
